I for one... possibly the only one... enjoyed AVP!

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2012)

I'm not one of those "non-fans" who just so happened to like "AVP".
I am a fan of both the Alien movies and the Predator movies (though I thought Predator 2 was only half as good as the first).
All the other Alien and Predator movies give us the depth that so many people complain wasn't in AVP. This movie is all about FUN!
Some people may complain about the movie holding back on the violence and gore. My opinion, the PG-13 restraint pushed the makers to be more creative with the blood and gore. There was a lot for a PG-13 movie by the way. It almost takes on an artistic/stylish factor as opposed to drenching the screen with it.
Sure, its AVP..... Not AVH (alien vs. humans), but without the humans then there wouldn't be aliens for the predators to fight. Without the humans, the AVP would have truly been a film lacking depth.
I didn't think the script was so bad. It wasn't great or profound in anyway, but enjoyable. That acting wasn't terrible like so many people are saying. Trust me, there are a lot of overrated films with worse acting.
Finally, my favorite part of AVP is the development between the Predator and the lead actress. I thought it was pretty cool.... who in their right mind can tell me that that is not an element of depth. If you want depth, just let the Predator kill all the humans and then what? Kill the Aliens... and then what? Anyways.
In summary, this movie is not so bad, in fact I very much liked it. It is really short compared to the Alien and Predator movies, but that's okay. It is exactly what it was intended to be but I guess most people didn't get that.
