The first review of AvPR is now up on MovieWeb. It's not a bad review but it's not overly positive either.
"Despite playing out more as homage, than a sequel, AVP:R is a lot of fun. Sure, there's the blatant Ripley/Newt dynamic. Sure there's the very familiar score by Brian Tyler, that's more of a mash-up of James Horner ... [Read More]
