Another sequel not as good as 1

Alien vs. Predator, at the end of 1, it was translated from Predator (predator, looter was translated into Predator, I thought the Predator was referring to Arno when I saw Arno) The corpse gave birth to an Alien At the time, I thought the sequel would start on the planet where the Predator lives, but I didn't expect it to return to Earth. Returning to Earth is not the main issue, the problem is that the story develops into a war between a large number of rapidly multiplying aliens and the earthlings, and I really don't see much of the Predator who appears to be there to wipe out the aliens they are taking as prey. Necessary, it seems purely because ta reserved a place in the title. In the final battle, neither the aliens won nor the Predators, but the human race. The giant missiles blew up the entire city (or the countryside? It was big anyway, and many people died) where the aliens were ravaged. The aliens were wiped out, and of course the Predator in 1 who regarded humans as the hosts of alien reproduction was gone, and this was the end of the war between them.
When I was about to finish watching 2, I was really worried about whether Ricky, who was attacked, would have an alien in his body. Generally, horror sci-fi movies like to leave such a surprising suspense as the ending, like aliens, Resident Evil or something, but If you think about it carefully, this is meaningless, because the title of the film is Alien vs. Predator. Unless the screenwriter can come up with a good plot to bring the Predator back, even if he does, it will be difficult to make up a plot that the audience likes to watch.
Going back to 1, it's still very good. The story of "Guan Gong vs Qin Qiong" is quite reasonable. The extraordinary imagination makes the relationship and story logic between Alien, Predator and human proceed very naturally. Compared with Shiwa The improvement in Singer's Predator that people in the Predator popped out of nowhere is pretty good. The story is of course very attractive, the plot is quite compact, and there are still a lot of suspense, which gradually becomes clear as the story unfolds. What is even better is that the relationship between human beings is very delicate. It is a tool used by the Predator for hunting, but realizes that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. In the end, the seemingly weak human beings obtained the wisdom created by the originally backward civilization. Victory, of course, was not overwhelming. The protagonists were Alien and Predator. They fought a tie. Of course, I am referring to the deviation of the theme of the story. If you watch 2 purely as a sci-fi film, it is still very good, but I am sorry for the title of the film. Just change the alien rumor or something.
