I don't mean to be mean, but that is just how things are...Usually, the more hyped a movie is, the worse the disappointment becomes...AVP was a good movie, it just didn't meet the fans' too-high expectations...They wanted a fight on an alien planet, Paul gave a Earth remote setting...he gave one brawl between Alien and Pred, fans wanted inumerous fights...he gave a human cast to identify ourselves with the emotions, despair and courage they showed, the fans prefered only Aliens and Predators, with the human race only as anonymous cannpn fodder...You know that your wishes will never come true ina movie, don't you? Fox will always want to please fans, but more than that, they want to attract the more mainstream audiences, that is why they will give more air time to the human indigenous community, making the Aliens and Predator appear from time to time in the background... You know this, don't you?
