If I'm allowed to be pretentious for a second, Die Hard's superior entertainment, most likely, but Covenant's art. It's not a fair comparison to either of them.

AVPR for me.

When its an Alien or Predator film you have to have a R rating and gore. AVP feels like an introduction for tweens to the franchises; toning down the horror to make it more palpable for a younger audience [and get those extra dollars too]. AVPR on the other hand feels like the true collision between the Predator and Xenomorph.

AVP disappointed me, it felt too conservative. We don't need exposition or the Aurora Borealis. We want to see a smackdown between the two most dangerous creatures in the universe, "Whoever Wins, We Lose," should have been the tagline for AVPR, while AVP should have had the tagline, "Date Night with a Predator." :D

I love AVPR, the woodland atmosphere and city, how Xenos overwhelm the inhabitants (realistic) and how Wolf kicks some Xenomorph tail. The acting is terrible at times, but trust me, teens act like that, I was one.

In the end I think fans of the Predator and Xenos have each a film to love. For me AVP woukd have been better with the traditional blood, horror, and gore; I mean during the chestburster scene I yawned, and not because I've seen chestbursters before.

Watching AvP.

It didn't even get to 1:45 before reminding me why I rate it so low, basic plot aside.

Every time I watch that movie I do it because I will always remember the hype leading up to its release and it gives me the warm fuzzies.

And then the reality hits.

I was 13 and it was the first time I was going to see an Alien or Predator movie on the big screen, I couldn't have cared less about the rating.

Also in the Australian rating system it was equal to Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 (at the time) and Predator. Only Resurrection and P2 were rated higher.

I didn't so much mean the rating as the general attitude it presents itself with. At least the CGI is mostly genuinely amazing for the year and budget, I guess.

The hype was great. The fall was brutal. And then AvPR came along and pretty much pissed on the franchise and everyone still underwhelmed from the first one.

Before AvP I was really hopeful at the time, considering Paul Anderson made Event Horizon, that even if AvP is average at best, it'll still be a cool sci-fi horror piece in a similar vain. Anderson showed he had the competency to do it; and it was exciting. But yikes!.... not even close.

Well yeah but you don't really get that out until you watch the movie. That's what I mean, the lead up was great.

Then you  watch the movie.
