Movie review hints

Ha! I knew it!

Alien vs Predator sucks according to the reviewers. How did I know it would suck?

Well let's start with the fact that we've already seen enough of both species in the four Alien films and the two Predator films. Now they have to share screen time? Not enough individual time for either franchise fan to be satisfied. That's just my opinion, of course, as to why this movie would suck.

Reason number 2: Paul W.S. Anderson. The guy behind the crap that was Resident Evil. C'mon, Milla Jovovich in a tight red dress battling undead zombies. How the hell could he mess that up? BOR-RING! Then, I find he was the guy at the helm for Event Horizon, a film that had me going until the stupid ending, which threw away any pretense at suspense and instead went for a thriller ending, which made me want my 96 minutes back...

But the biggest clue was that there were no reviews out before its opening, which means the losers distributing the film knew it was a turkey, but didn't want that getting out before they could fleece the loyal fans of both genres for the opening weekend take. This is my number one indicator now.

They should rot in hell for destroying the Alien franchise. Predator? Hah, Danny Glover torched that franchise in 1990. Who really cared?

But since the movie's a hit, we'll probably get more crap like this thrown our way...

  1. Apparently new ideas aren't part of the generation that is putting together movies now. The latest? Freddy and Jason vs. some other horror flick dude which I've never heard of.

  2. That "horror dude" would be Ash from Evil Dead!

    And yes, the ending of Event Horizon was a serious disappointment. That was a great sf/horror film but they could not figure out a good Lovecraftian ending to the haunted house in outer space motiff.

    AVP was ok. I had very low expectations so did not come away disappointed. Unfortunately, I had read the book the plot is cribbed from so it held no surprises.
