Not a bad movie, it just was'nt for me

Rating: 5/10 (22 November 2008)

We'll OK, when I first saw the original alien I was about 8 and my m8 thought it would be a good idea. As the film progressed, I began to feel progressively more tense, nervous and unhappy and guess what I LOVED IT. The original Alien was about what you could'nt see rather than trying to dangle something in you're face and say BOO.
However in Alien Vs. Predator I did not feel this way.
This movie in it's own right would have been an acceptable movie, BUT the Alien and Predator movies have legions of loyal fans and are widely regarded (especially Alien and Aliens) as some of the greatest movies in cinematic history. Therefore because this movie is plain and simply an 'action/horror thing' (a quote from myself about 5 minutes ago having a rant) it shits (for lack of a better word) over everything that the movies from the two series's have accomplished since 1979.
However the setting of the movie was good, and all in all the action scenes were fairly well done and explosive, that is something that I know will please some people.
This is only my opinion though by all means watch it, as it is not a bad movie.
