A V P 2 - Movie Review

It did read a bit hilarious! Especially as I knew it meant "Aliens v/s Predator - 2".
As a rule sequels are not as great as the original; and if the original was not worthy, nothing need be said about the sequel.

I had deliberately forgone watching A V P - 1 ; what was the movie maker thinking?! Taking 2 most remade alien characters (Alien 1/2/3 and Predator 1/2) and putting them together. Definitely not my type. But I did manage to land a VCD of the movie and well, it was definitely much better than I was prepared to admit.
So when I saw the promos for A V P 2 some days back it went on my "must watch" list.

While it's not a must-do for everyone, it is a definite must for those crazy enough to have enjoyed the first one. The creatures are thankfully the same familiar alien and predator and have not modernized with technology. It doesn't seem like a sequel; just a deja vu and a continuation of the earlier fights.
Talking of fights, they are a bit unaffecting; frequent, gruesome and heavy, but too short and too swift. By the time you start to relish the fantastical creatures the fight's over. But I did find myself catching my breath more than once.

If you can ignore the feeble attempt to give this sci-fi fight movie a tender human touch, I'd say ... all fans of the aliens, predators and Terminators... rush to the box office now.
