The problem is that no one seems to be willing to do anything original. Everytime I see someone give their ideas for a plot for AVP2 and it alwtarts out as "Humans get facehugged and chestbursted, Predators come down and find that there are Xenos, Humans who are supposed to be the main characters get killed in fast and non-scary way, Xenos and Preds fight, and there might even be some Human-Pred teaming up". Is there really no more to it then that?
It's not looking too good from what I've read there (the modern setting in a town seems to just put a nail on the coffin right there), but at least we can all hope that it can at least deliver the action and the fights between the Aliens and the Predators (which AVP failed in). It won't make it a good movie, but then we'll at least get what we pay for.
The human element, though it would seem out of place in movies like these, it wouldn't hurt to have some. The problem is that, these movies don't even have good characters for us to watch and most of them are labelled "Alien/Predator Food" the first time they appear, making their appearance a waste.
