AVP - Alien Verses Predator

When I first saw this movie I utterly hated it. I mean I just fricken dispised it. Recently I learned that they are making a sequal to this movie. Aliens and Predators are at war and they bring the fight to a small town in the US and the citizans must fight them both to survive. Sound lame as hell to me, kinda like the abismal plot of Alien 3.

I like Alien. It hought it was a bold, dark, compelling movie that thankfully was skillfully given an exceptional sequal; Aliens.

Aliens was without a doubt one of the most impressive movies I have ever seen. It hold a place as one of my top five most favorite movies.

Alien 3 was just a major unfiltered disappointment on an epic scale of failure. My opinion of this movie and what it did to the Alien franchise became so low that they would have to work very hard indeed to dissapoint me again.

And then comes Alien 4. WTF was this movie about? Answer, put a bunch of semi-good actors on a space station and have them fight it out. Orginally this was going to be an AVP movie but they ditched the Predator parts and re-wrote the movie to be just an alien movie. BIG F'ing mistake. Had they kept the original script as an AVP script, then the movie might have been special.

AVP - As I said, I really hated this movie when it first came out. I have this rule, if I hate a movie I will watch again in a year or so. Well its been over two years and I finally decided to watch AVP again, the extended version.

I have to say that I was wrong about this movie. It was a very good movie and I don't recall why I hated it so. I found that the extended version made more sense than the theatrical version. I like the attention to detail that they had in the movie. The plot was only weak in a few areas, (Such as from the time of face hugger victim 1 to the first full grown alien attack was only about 20 minutes or two changes in the pyramid. Astect time every 10 nimutes.

The were more aliens than there were people, I think 12 aliens overall and only 9 victims.

I like the way they did many of the things in this movie. In retrospect I was very unfair to this movie and just wanted to set the record strait.
