Yeah watching your review up until you said AVP2 was a good movie, you suck and should not review any movie!

[GrannyGoddy]

@XaeeD Just for the sake of interest, what specifically was wrong with AvP 2?

[XaeeD]

@GrannyGoddy Come on dude we're the same age so I assume you must have seen Predator as a kid. I know the Predator in AVP2 was cool, but I really don't understand how you could say it was a good movie. It sucked balls, with all the obnoxious teenagers running around. Didn't even feel like a Pred-movie. It was horrible. The only good thing was the Predator, everything else sucked. Sorry cant tell you what specifivally was wrong with it. Its just, thats now what I think a Pred-movie should be like

[GrannyGoddy]

@XaeeD Of course I've seen Predator. It's one of the greatest movies ever made.

And do you know what was good about all those obnoxious teens running around? Most of them got horribly killed :-)

I grant you AvP 2 is not what a Pred film should be. Because it's also an Alien film. The problem with AvP is that the two franchises generally have different m/o's. One is about claustrophobic terror, the other is escape and evade with an alien.

What I liked about AvP 2 is that it was a dark, violent film that didn't skimp on the graphic spectacle. It genuinely surprises me that it didn't get an '18' certificate.

On a happier note, 'Predators' was an absolutely awesome film, so I guess it's balanced out somewhat :-)

@Magnolia296 O no, I like the Alien movies, I think they're awesome. Even though I like the Predator-movies better, I don't hate the aliens :)

[Magnolia296]

@XaeeD OK, I agree with you here. I said that cause read many horrible, insulting and just rude things about aliens from predator fans. I thought u r one of them. Sorry about that

[XaeeD]

@Magnolia296 'worshiping'?? Seriously, it's just a fictional character, just a game..

[Magnolia296]

@XaeeD Honestly, I didn't like AVP 2 that much but the first AVP was bad too and your worshiping of Predators is funny cause Aliens are much faster and more unique creatures

[Magnolia296]

To be honest, I don't like Fantasy movies (I prefer Sci-Fi) but this movie blew me away - very interesting storyline, nice visual effects, great acting. James Purefoy was brilliant as Solomon. I like the idea that the main warrior/killer/hero was religious. Rachel Hurd-Wood was stunning as well. "Solomon Kane" is interesting, sometime even shocking and criminally underrated movie. I hope they will make a sequel
