Now that is poor writing from Anderson. Actually giving character to the characters, he did not.
I wanted to see more of Adele Rousseau, Agathe de la Boulaye's character...
Usually, in 90-minute action movies, the characters don't usually get a lot of character...
In a movie called 'Aliens versus Predator', humans take a backseat because, although they are needed to make us identify with their ordeals and stuff, the movie is about the clash of these two formidable creatures, NOT the humans...All they'll do is look scared, flee, and die...
In AVP2, the same will happen, even less, because in a horror-like movie, all they do is...
...(U guessed it)...
...Look scared, flee and die...
There is nothing more to it in a movie like this... I actually like when the villainous among the group buys it, like Carter Burke, or Spt. Andrews, or Wren... Can't beat the adrenaline rush there, guys...
I don't ever expect these crossover movies to have character depth... That is the main difference between these AVP movies and the Alien and Predator ones...The other franchises had it all: character depth, story depth, budget to acquire good, solid actors,...
Maybe the Strauses will be the next James Cameron, David Fincher or Ridley Scott and we sure need more of those...!
