One of the Biggest Disappointments Ever

Rating: 2/10 (14 October 2007)

Because of 2 great films before it this film was born. Predator and Aliens still hold up as classics today. I just watched Predator again recently...they don't make films this cool anymore.
Yes. I had high expectations for Alien vs Predator. And not only does this film fail on every level that the previous two films set the bar at, this movie isn't even good on its own. It ranks as one of the worse movies ever that should have been at least GOOD because of what preceded it and for how long we had to anticipate it. A few others that fit in this category? Remember Hulk? Even Alien 3 was a huge disappointment. (sorry David Fincher) and Peter Jackson's King Kong was an overwritten snore fest. Oh! And I can't forget Superman Returns. Nothing worked in that movie.
I just saw the trailer for what I'd rather not call a sequel...but more of an apology. Aliens vs Predator: Requiem looks like what this movie should have been. I can't wait. ...I can't take another disappointment like the ones previously mentioned. I'm getting old and cynical and I need a movie to revitalize my movie going spirit.
