You knew it was going to be bad...

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2004)

So why bother watching it? I don't know, I did so too... only to have my expectations proven right.
Some personal ratings of relevant pictures: Alien : 5 stars, Aliens : 3.5 stars, Alien3 : 3 stars, Alien: Resurrection : 2 stars, Predator : 4 stars, Predator 2 : 3 stars, Aliens vs. Predator : 1.5 stars (it's still a movie about the two greatest e.t. beings of motion picture history, you know). --- And I do believe sequels can rock, I really do, but with these series they just get worse and worse --> so stop releasing Alien and/or Predator movies, for art's sake! You've ruined their once great reputation! But for me the Alien series ended with Alien3 anyhow, Resurrection was a total shame. When Ripley died, the trilogy ended appropriately and unconditionally, so all Alien movies thereafter are fake... er... at least that's some way to save the Alien legacy ;). But indeed, AvP sucked. Why? Please read any random review around here. The annoying thing is, however, I initially thought it had been directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (great... alternative movie making!), but it was that other Anderson from the videogame movies... Anyway: 1.5 stars. It may have gotten two of them if they hadn't made the Predator team up with that anti-Ripley chick (you noticed the audience chuckling, too, didn't you?)... mwoahaha... how marvellously ridiculous that was! Brilliant stuff, people.
