I'll just say that movies like AVP but especially Requiem, I think, are taken FAR too seriously than needed. I regard them as B movie camp fliks. I don't put them on the same serious level of the Alien/Predator films. And just for sh!ts and giggles, I can't help but imagine extreme haters of AVP as being a Douchey McNitpick.

Yes, the movie has a LOT of flaws. I wouldn't personally say that Requiem is a GOOD film. But regardless, critics and fans constantly nitpick everything about AVPR to death just as much as AVP, and honestly, I think they judge it a little too unfairly. And if they want to do that, let them be.
