Can you ever have enough predators and aliens?
I just came across the blurb for Robert Rodriguez’s new version of the Predator saga. I enjoyed the first Predator—though the FX quickly dated it. (The sequels were dated before they hit the theaters.) One reviewer complained that this new one seems to lack the plot of the original. I don't remember the original as having much of a plot beyond dog fighting: throw a bunch of angry maulers into a pit to see which comes out. "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
All of that said--Rodriguez usually has a cool, unique vision in his movies. I am curious to see if it holds with his return to the rednecks of outer space.
Good, bad, indifferent. I think it is an obligatory.

But what was your take on the "Aliens vs Predator" movie? Was that even worthy of the Predator name?
the notion was cool. aliens. predators. foolish humans. but we did not need the cheesy, fill in-the-blanks-history. keep the remote with the ff handy.
Oof! Neither AvP film was worthy of either monicker.
I would have much preferred they had filmed the screenplay that had been leaked out on the internet years ago, which had been adapted into a trilogy of novels. The first in the series of novels was AvP: Prey. Decent read.
Thoughts on this new one?
It has potential. I have a lot of faith in Robert Rodriguez. I'll give it a shot.
