New AvPR UK Reviews

[Darkness]

There’s a couple of new UK AvP Requiem reviews. The first is in the News of the World (There’s also a scan of the newspaper article here.) and another one on Empire. Both are very negative and they give it 1/5.

The box office totals so far are $40,081,000 domestic and $36,536,503 foreign giving a total of $76,617,503. Lastly, if you’re in the UK, switch on to FilmFour tonight. They’re showing Alien at 9PM, then a five-minute AvPR preview at 11:10PM and then Predator 2 at 11:15PM. Thanks to kcirtap33 for the news.

Update: More reviews at TotalFilm (2/5), TimOut (1/6) and Manchester Evening News (2/5).

You have to take into account that Chris Hewitt, from Empire, can be a little... extreme... in his views. He loved Underworld, but utterly SLAMMED the sequel... despite the sequel improving on the first.  Also note that the new "film critic" for TNOTW berates a Predator... FOR BEING A PREDATOR. He's only marking it down so as to look "smart" and to be accepted by "serious" critics.  Movies out Friday! Roll on Friday!

I do not listen to the press...

Sad to hear Empire gave it such a shit review, I really respect them. Oh wells, still watching it Saturday.

But 'Underworld' was great and 'Underworld Evolution' really was crap.  It improved upon it, only in the visual realm, which was already good. In terms of story and logic, it fell on its face. Who does stuff like build a prison never meant to be opened, then have a key built, only to surgically implant it in their ribs, for heaven's sake?  I loved the first. Sequel really disappointed me.

"Also note that the new "film critic" for TNOTW berates a Predator... FOR BEING A PREDATOR. He's only marking it down so as to look "smart" and to be accepted by "serious" critics."   I agree with you on that, I liked it, so sue me.

very disappointing. i was Waiting for the empire review as they seem to know what they are talking about(most of the time). unfortunately it looks like our favourite monsters are done for.

That's pretty bad.

@Xenomorphine  Both Underworld films are great. Len Wiseman is a great director the actors in UE are better than AVPR. I know you are a AVP fan I know what you feel. But man you can't compare AVPR with UE. I like AVPR but Underworld is much better.

I thought Underworld Evolution was great. Much better than the first.

JK is right Xenomorphine, you can't compare Underworkd to AVP. To me, Underworld, both sucked. I just didn't like them. I love wear wolfs, and I bearly got them. I got vampires, who I don't like as much. I wish I couls do the same with Underworld with what I do with AVP. I love both Aliens and Predator, and everything about them, not the same with vampires and wear wolfs. I only like Wear Wolfs.   I can't see any more being able to be compard to to any of the AVP movies or Alien or Predator movies except themselfs.
