AvP: Someone paid money to get this made?

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

When I found out that this movie was finally being made, I could not contain the joy. Having been and AvP fan since the two were first introduced to each other in comic form, I have waited for this day since the early 90's.
This was the most painful movie going experience ever.
I have a dark secret; I actually *like* most of Paul W.S. Anderson's movies.
But this was just bad scriptwriting from the get-go. While watching AvP, I wondered if Paul had actually seen any of the Alien/Predator movies, or if he had just heard about them from friends.
The movie eats, a lot. There are some amazing sequences that fans will be happy finally made it onto the big screen, but those 10 minutes of glory cannot make up for the rest of the crap-pile this movie was. This movie is about 5 awesome scenes, held together with the cheesiest story line conceivable.
Is it worth seeing? Yes, but don't expect anything more than you did from "Soldier". Maybe I'm way too hard on it because I'm a big AvP fan, but this movie really, really hurt to watch.
