Missing The Point

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2004)

Anyone who gives this movie a positive review, is missing the point. I saw AVP and while I didn't hate it, I didn't like it either. It is just another mediocre Hollywood movie! 2 Years from now the AVP DVD will be collecting dust on video store shelves nationwide along with movies like Van Helsing, I Robot and maybe even Spiderman 2. In almost every positive review of AVP there are also many negative comments. I don't know about you but I demand more for my hard earned $7.50 ($11.00 in NYC) than "I liked it but....." By showing your support for AVP you are just convincing Hollywood to make more and more mindless, boring and mediocre films. The acting in AVP is Horrible and they way the screwed with the Alien life cycle is unforgivable! This and the fact that Fox cut the movie to pieces AND gave it a PG-13 rating reminds me that if you can't do something right the first time, DON'T DO IT AT ALL! Now we all have to wait for the DVD to see the "R-Rated Director's Cut" which may or may not be better than the theatrical version. What a joke! If Fox wants to cut movies all to hell and ruin director's visions, maybe they should step in and take control away from George Lucas and make a GOOD Star Wars movie. That's just my opinion though. To quote C3PO in Episode II, "What a drag".
