People take this film too seriously.......

Rating: 5/10 (20 June 2006)

First things first, whenever I see a film made from a franchise where past films/games have been 18s or Rs I usually hope most remakes at least attain the same level of their predecessors merely to look good if anything. Too many films like Silent Hill, Resident Evil etc. have 15's or Pg-13s which, as soon as I see it, tell me that this film is gonna be a slight letdown.
But AvP is not as bad as so many people made out. People take this film too seriously. It was obviously done for entertainment more than to create an Oscar winning masterpiece.
It wasn't amazing but most films aren't. I still enjoyed it, watching the last predator dispatch Aliens in mass quantity (to be honest, i didn't care much for the existence of the humans). The only problem with it, is that it didn't live up to the expectations of of the great movies it was based on.
