AVP was very enjoyable, it did a good job of showcasing both Yautja and Xenomorphs. I loved the pyramid changing and the final fight with Queenie.
AVPR I love the sheer horror, the town falling to a Xenoinfestation. The cast of humans not being as likable didn't matter because they were anybodies, the point was to see what happens when Xenos take over a place in our century.
Personally I like AVPR more because I adore seeing Xenos in oir environments, the sewers was a brilliant idea and the hospital.. when you see that patient being wheelee in with a facehugger and a doctor clearing them for entry was great!
