Alien vs. Predator Review

Good Points
Glitzy shiny movie with lots of special effects and grand sets.

Bad Points
Basically a really poor movie. Neither fun, scary, clever, involving, well-acted or well-directed.

General Comments
Alien vs. Predator - Alien, the movie was first-rate, at bit claustrophobic maybe, but tense and truely frightening.



Aliens got rid of the claustrophobia to a degree and presented as a more accomplished film. One of my favorites actually.



Forget Alien, the Resurrection, as it didn't work too well.



But I had high hopes for AVP. That will teach me. It was diabolical. No it was worse than that. I had a job not running out in tears and making a scene at the ticket booth demanding my money back. You know what, I should never have bought the ticket but stayed outside and used the money to buy a pile of popcorn, some vile fizzy drink and gone home. It would have been more enjoyable.



What a sorry end to Alien...s . There were times when I was sure that the Special Effects people had said "you know what...all this programming is an awful bore. Lets take the code from the Veloceraptors in Jurassic Park and splice the image of an Alien on top...and voila."



An Alien is not supposed to move like a dinosaur! This negates the fear factor completely.



You know what, I wont even mention the acting, but if I were to say that the Predators and Aliens had the best lines....that should some things up pretty well.
