Okay, I'm dedicating this Blog to the Underdogs. AvP was dissed by critics for not living up to the standards set by it's predecessors. But that's a pretty high expectation. Aliens and Predators are classics and any good movie sequel would be hard-pressed to be even half as good.
I'm just glad the movie was made at all. It took several years before the right combination of director, script, cast and studio came together and got the "green light."
The director was a big fan of both movie series. And it shows. He really pays homage to the two storylines-- almost too much sometimes. But if you enjoyed most of the A & P movies, and you like cool action/sci-fi, you'll enjoy AvP.
