The first review of AvPR is now up on MovieWeb. It’s not a bad review but it’s not overly positive either.

“Despite playing out more as homage, than a sequel, AVP:R is a lot of fun. Sure, there’s the blatant Ripley/Newt dynamic. Sure there’s the very familiar score by Brian Tyler, that’s more of a mash-up of James Horner and Alan Silvestri, than anything else. Sure we get and APC-type vehicle smashing through things, and Colonial Marine-looking Nation Guard getting over-taken by aliens. And sure there’s the Predator treating his injury, and even taking off his mask in the EXACT same way as the Pred in the 1st Predator film. There’s even the return of one of Arnold’s most quoted lines from Predator (much too my pleasure).”

They gave it 3.5/5 overall. So much for not having any Arnie quotes in the movie. Thanks to JK for the news.

3.5/5 isn't that bad, almost all real working critics are overly harsh and very troll like in their short sided opinions. So a 3.5/5 isn't that bad at all. You should have heard what they were saying about the first AVP film, now thats bad lol.   Either way, I wouldn't really listen to them, these people make watching films a very depressing thing, I know the movie is going to rock, I know I coming to see it in theaters no matter what   8)

Well, that's not as scathing as that Polish review, perhaps there is a little hope after all.

Lionhart, it would be impossible for it to not be better than AR. If the Strause Brothers only stood in front of the camera and threw their own poo at the screen it would be an improvement! I think this film will surprise a lot of people with it's quality level.   ;D

It's actually "Get to the chopper" I think...   It better be "Get to the chopper" although this isn't quoted that much.  It better not be "you are one ugly mo**er fu**er."  I swear I walk out of the theater right then and there.   >:(

of course that's the line... so you might as well not bother to buy a ticket.
