What Happened People !?!

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2004)

After seeing movies like X-men, Batman, and especially the Spiderman's I thought the movie industry had it all figured out. Use the elements of the comics, television shows, and movies that the people loved. Most importantly, give the audience a chance to care about whats going to happen to the characters. Add in the latest special effects, decent dialogue, and story line that gives the characters ample room to do what we paid to see them do...not so with AvP.
I've seen all the Predator and Alien movies and have also read some of the comics that were titled Alien versus Predator. I feel short changed by the total lack of character development. In the previous movies and in the comics you were able to get attached to the characters a little, who they were, what type of personality they had (everyone remembers Newt from Aliens), so when they got yoked it sort of meant something. You never get a chance to care, like or dislike about these people getting killed. Some of the action was great but for the most part it seemed like everyone was just doing the obvious with no suspense or decent build up. The PG-13 rating really hurt this movies gore factor.
