Alien vs. Predator: Requiem

This is a terrible movie. I didn’t think they could make a sequel worse than the first, but they gave 110% and did it. It’s been turned into a bad slasher. From the previews, it sort of seems like everything gets killed. That’s pretty much how the movie goes. I appreciate the effort made to please the fans. There are a lot of one-liners and homages to scenes from the Predator and Alien movies—they just forgot to steal anything good. Dan has a strong opinion: Axe the series, redo it in a few years, and bring Predator into the Alien movies so space marines could be in it. Sounds like a good idea to me. The best part about the movie was the opportunity to gorge ourselves at Popeyes afterwards.
