I can only hope they handle it better this time. I saw the last one.. wasn't particularly thrilled either. From the writeups I have read, it may be "OK." I can't remember specifics but I didn't get too horrible a taste in my mouth when I was done reading what little I could find of a plotline.<br /><br />I will watch it, probably on cable. I will try not to have any expectations other than it being a decent action/splatterfest with a medium requirement for suspending disbelief. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

I watched the trailer. Looked like typical Hollywood garbage. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

If the first AVP was a flop, why make another one? It can't be for the money?!?

No you're not bursting my bubble. I can admit when I'm wrong. <br /><br />Oh well, enjoy AVP 2!<br /><img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />

These days, if you have a "story" - like Alien versus Pred - that will, on its own, entice a certain number of fans in the door - then you don't have to have a "nig name" (expensive) cast to play things - which leads to making money - its YA forumula that they can play.<br /><br />I took my son to see Underdog a week or two ago - we went because he was interested in the story - I had no idea Jim Belushi was in it....<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

I saw the shorts for Underdog last night, looks very funny. Was it worth seeing?.

I enjoyed it, but I have a definite track record of being weird. My son enjoyed it a lot - and the apple ddidn't fall far from the tree there.<br /><br />It's very much of a kids movie IMO. I am old enough that I remember to cartoon quite well from kidhood, and there were homages here and there that were fun to pick up on.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>
