Hi guys, my first post here. Hate to be a noob on the forum but what can I do.
I gotta say Im absolutely SHOCKED by the vote. Im a member of few movie and music forums, and avpR is always cited amongst Batman& Robin and Battlefield Earth for the worst movie that ever graced the screen.
Now whenever some director says that he's a fan and he'll do a movie for the fans people go "oh-oh, remember what Strass bros said"?
I loved AVP. I thought its the modern day 'Aliens' and one of the best movies of the decade. Expeition heading towards the uknown, full of specs in different areas. And the great adventure aspect - we have Predators which I loved because I adore the first movie, and Scar has the same mask. And we finally get to see Alien Queen in action again and the female heroine. I thought it was terrific despite some franchise flaws.
AVPR was basically MTV's Laguna Beach with Aliens. It was the typical, cliche filled teen horror with corny overeacting and brainless plot ala Transfromers. The MTV bits (the whole teenager stuff) really made me cringe, and it was a corny B movie by-the-books. SMall town with teenagers in a lead role, attacked by some monsters: typical B straight to video crap (Critters, Killer Klowns or The Blob anybody?). Oh, and I really liked the sculpted design of Predalien, but what made the screen was so lame that I couldnt understand how anybody would greenlit something like that
Anyway, I hope to have a good time being finally amongst the fellow Aliens and Predator fans
