shame on you

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2004)

Come on, you people what did you expect! I have read and reread the so called reviews of this movie with total disbelief. OK let suspend believe for a moment and actually believe there are such thing as aliens and predators and that by some kind of cosmic miracle they end up battling it out inside pyramids on earth.so what !! Does anybody out there really think it is real? I hope not. A movie is a work of fiction, a make believe, where anything can happen and all is possible. It is an escape from the real world. I have read reviews from snotty and pseudo intellects slate this movie. It is very easy to be critical of other peoples efforts. The same people that jumped at the chance to have this movie made. AVP was never going to be a work of art, never going to be an Oscar winner. Any story involving bringing these two together was, from the outset, going to fall down. I for one enjoyed this movie and refuse to nitpick what was a valiant effort to entertain. It is sad that people can be so self centred and not see that movies are there to entertain. Movies are a form of enjoyment. Most of the 'critic's' here enjoy the power they have to debase and run down other peoples efforts. AVP is a movie, not great, but it certainly doesn't deserve the venom and nasty reviews I have seen on this site. Shame on you !
