In what way was it better? Did it have a better story? No, it barely had one at all. Acting? No, it was somehow worse than AvP (excluding Lance Henriksen of course). Better Alien designs? Again, somehow, they were worse. While it did have more action than AvP, quality =/= quantity, so again AvP takes the cake for me in this category as well. I'm sorry if I'm rambling, it's just this movie was so f**king horrible that it makes my blood boil if I think too much about it.
