One Tough Job

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

I just went to see AVP. I have read some of the online reviews by just a few, all of them seem to be negative. Some said that the Predators are not well done, or that they do not live up to the Predators in the 2 previous titles, but they are all wrong, and it seems that they did not do their reading. I am not sure if this constitutes a spoiler or not, but Anderson was able to incorporate some of the material from the comics and novels into the movie, I wont tell you which ones however, you should see for yourself. Anderson had a big job ahead of him, and that was to satisfy all of us rabid Alien/Predator fans. I think he does the Job well, my only comment would be that the movie moves along very fast, which may or may not be the result of editing done to secure a PG-13 Rating, which despite the hype is really pretty acceptable. You get all the Predator and Alien action you need, and there is a decently constructed story line as well. Overall I think that those who have been bashing this movie because it did not meet their preconceived expectations have missed the boat entirely. Great Movie (B+/A-)
