As for Anderson's AvP (2004), I really like it!
10 Likes:
I like the great miniature sets (whaling station during destruction and the pyramid exterior)
I like Lance Henriksen playing Bishop Weyland (great and logical deal for him being the template for the android Bishop in Aliens and AlienĀ³)
I like Sanaa Lathan (yeah, she's hot AND can still convince as the tough and resolute guide she is meant to be - but also somehow frightened in the right moments)
I like the team up between Woods and the remaining Predator (even the honor given to her at the end was just a fantastic idea)
I like Harald Kloser's Soundtrack (still his best work so far)
I like how the warrior aliens freed the Queen (besides Aliens and Alien: Resurrection, I never saw acting the Xenos so clever and tactical)
I like the finale at the whaling station with the Alien Queen (and the improvised manner how they finally got rid of her)
I like how the Queen got her screentime finale (as a fan of Cameron's fantastic Aliens I really appreciate such rare opportunities)
I like the last Predator depicted as some kind of tragic hero in the end
I like Evan Bremner, he's just a funny and very sympathetic guy
Bonus point:
I like the penguin what spooked Bremner (just sweet)
Enough pros on my record to like it ...
It's at least an enjoyable and entertaining movie, featuring two of my favorite movie characters at once clashing each other ... It's my second King Kong vs Godzilla!
As for AvPR ... no comment!
