Not the best movie I've seen but it has its good points too and I've seen worse

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2004)

I have heard a rumour that there are a hell of a lot of scenes cut out of this movie containing more "sticky" encounters. Whether this is true or not, i don't know. A lot of people say this movie is crap and granted it isn't exactly what i hoped for either, but like I said, it has a few good parts. I enjoyed the major (and only)beat 'em up scene between the alien and predator. this scene could have been done better as that big predator guy was way too cool to be killed by just one alien. disappointing end to that scene! I also agree with pgray2's comment about the buddy scene. Most of those who say the movie isn't as good as the written material. I agree with this. most movies (if not all) that have been based on novels or comics are rarely good. Steven King's 'Christine' is a good example of a good book gone bad on screen. Visually AVP is impressive. The predators look more intimidating than in earlier movies and the aliens look....well...as weird as ever and both of them kick ass. I will probably purchase it when it becomes available.
