Great! Black woman hero!

Rating: 8/10 (30 September 2004)

The original Alien (1970's) introduced a Female hero and that worked so well. Now it's taken a step further in 2004 with a Black woman! I'm not black, but I think this step to introduce a black woman as a major heroin to Alien's future (AVP movies) is the right way to go. I was so unhappy when Sigorney Weaver deciding to turn to comedy and abandon the Alien scene, but this new female hero has lots of potential. I think this is good casting. I wanted Bishop to be Bishop not so sick old guy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Problem with AVP - too short, not enough character (non-human)development, poor AVP fight scenes. When you are siding with one of them you need to be able to see how the fight is going... like in boxing. you want to see how it happens and fight with your side. Also, too soppy with the Predator and hero chick relationship near the end. What's the main character's name (the girl)? Isn't predator supposed to be a hard core killer. Yeah OK, i did like that they were allies, but it went a bit too far. Will they have a kiss in the next movie?! I hope Alien wins in the end, otherwise hero chick and predator will have babies! I did love AVP though. Good stuff!
