Well, the three NEGATIVE reviews we have so far are from FANS, ergo people who care for the creatures and their mythology...
All THREE had CONVERGENCE of criticism, which demonstrate that something is definitely wrong with the movie...!
They all had technical, script, tone, narrative structure issues, which are quite tangible and easy to distinguish and identify...
Vehtam's friend (very, very well done review...a bit too on the negative side, but give the hype it had I can understand his frustration..as well as Gacu and the RT poster...) nailed it as far as my concerns about the movie are: script, character development, setting... how they all intermingle and how cohesive the product is...
He was very constructive and clearly knows what he is talking about...
So, for 3 of the lucky fans that watched a pre-screening of the movie, it was disappointing, rushed and amateurishly done...
Nothing we couldn't tell from the footage and other stuff that has been 'flooding' us for the past half a year or so...
Also, finding small comfort in it possibly being slightly better than AVP only because there are more fights and blood, is proof that the movie has failed... because a better-looking PoS is STILL AND REGARDLESS a PoS...
