Not as bad as it seems . . .

Rating: 4/10 (2 September 2008)

Some of the reviews of this movie make me laugh. It's like people are so mindless lately that no matter how amazing a movie is (and no, I'm not saying this is amazing at all) people will agree with the majority of critical reviews. Look at Pan's Labyrinth. The movie is easily the most unoriginal, boring, and just downright pointless movies I've ever seen in my lifebutit got a lot of perfect reviews and people follow the crowd and rate it the same. In opposite, this movie a lot of terrible critical reviews and people followed suit.
Our generation is mindless.
This movie is far from perfect, but the reasons people have for hating this movie are even more retarded: - "PG-13! OMG! It sucks!!" Yet they fail to see that Alien and Aliens, if they were released in modern time, would have gotten a PG-13 rating. There was more violence/blood in the PG-13 rated Cloverfeild than Alien and Aliens combined. The level of violence in this movie is about the same as the original Alien, sorry to break it to you.

"A Predator and human teamed up!" It's no worse than the cheesy laughing scene at the end of the original Predator. Oh, wait. I forgot. People want a carbon copy of things they've seen a million times to make them like something.

I'm a huge Alien fan. The original Alien is one of my favorite movies of all time. As for Predator . . . eh.
But Alien vs Predator was far from bad. It had enough action to keep me interested, which takes a lot. And the ending scene with the water tower was pretty cool, as well as seeing the Alien queen up and fighting. The minor plot twist in the very end was nifty as well.
There is nothing here that should offend fans of either series, because it's more of the same, but with a twist. Perfect? No. Deserving of the mindless hate it's getting? No.
4/10
