Close but no cigar!

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2004)

Being a massive fan of both these franchises i have been really looking forward to this film for what must be about ten years now...
The story isn't bad at all and reminds me in places of the original aliens vs predator graphic novels i used to read, but what really gets my back is the fact that this is a PG-13!!!
What are fox thinking? this was obviously a plan to make more money which is really disappointing as they already have a very strong fan base for both franchises and regardless of rating the film is sure to clean up when released on DVD...
My words to fox, if it ain't broke. don't fix it...
As for Paul W.S. Anderson i think he did a pretty good job. I mean this was no easy task bringing these two franchises together with the the undoubted pressure he would of been uder by fox i presume.
So... Good Story, Well directed, but next time Fox, don't be sooo greedy!
