Movie Review: AVP: Alien vs Predator........
Summary: 4 Stars
Alien vs Predator is a science fiction film, made in 2004, that bring the two beloved sci-fi franchises of fans all over together. It was a concept that was brought together in a comic series of the same name in 1989. Directed by W.S. Anderson(best known for "Event Horizon"& "Mortal Kombat"), it stars Sanaa Lathan, Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bova, and Colin Salmon. Alien vs. Predator follows a group assembled by billionaire Charles 'Bishop' Weyland (Lance Henriksen) for an expedition near the Antarctic after discovering a mysterious heat signal. Hoping to claim the find for himself, Weyland and the group discover a pyramid below the surface of a whaling station. Little do they know that it is a hunting ground for Predators who kill Aliens as a part of "coming of age" ritual. Despite harsh critism about the movie from movie reviewers and fans alike, it did well at the box-office ranking 33rd over all for the year as the highest-grossing film of that year. It has also did well by DVD sales and whatnot. In my opinion, AVP is a fun romp definitely worth owning just to see my two favorite space lifeforms duking it out til the end. It's a heck of a sight better than "Freddy vs Jason". The unrated edition contains the special features from the Extreme Edition, CGI and an extra eight minutes of footage. That goes a long way in making the movie that much better. So, regardless of what you hear about it, check out AVP:Alien vs Predator. It's a really good movie.
Movie Review: Hollywood must be Afraid Predator will when an Oscar

AVP - Alien Vs. Predator (Full Screen Edition)
Predator is poised to be a star, Hollywood just seems reluctant to give him a great script so he can show what he can really do.
Predator is one of the best movie monster creations in quite some time.
He ranks up there with Dracula, Werewolf and the Mummy in cinema history.
Not just because of his awesome physical design, but also his movie history.
The Predator is one of the few baddies to go toe to toe with one of the greatest action
movie heroes, Arnold Schrwazannerger. If you dislike one of Arnold's movies
its partially because the villian is no match for Arnold.
However we all know what a great job Predator did against Dutch in the first Predator movie.
The director did a great job of giving the Predators a favorable persona. You have the more experienced fighter, and a over confident noob among others. But then just when you really start to like a Predator, he gets killed off.
I would have rather seen a group of the "Star" Predators go up against the Alien Queen in the end, instead of the dreadful ending this movie has.
Not a bad A vs P movie, but it should have been ALOT better.

Summary: 4 Stars
The Good Things
*Cool special effects and some good, memorable action scenes.
*The settings are very nifty. Good production design all around.
*The Predators get to use most all of the great weapons introduced in previous films. The Aliens exhibit the same unnatural intelligence (or instinct) as in the previous films. This film also introduces some interesting, logical ideas (like how the Alien skeleton is acid-proof, or how the Aliens willingly kill themselves to free their queen...).
*Even though it seems a little silly, I thought it was cool to see the Predator bonding with the main character.
*Very fascinating story line that ties the two franchises together brilliantly (and still corresponds well to the original films).
The Bad Things
*Not much blood or guts, which is truly unsual for an Alien or Predator film. The unrated version has a little more, but is stil not much.
*Kind of boring for the first hour.
*Despite the interesting backstory, the movie itself reminds me of the other films made by this director (like "Event Horizon" or "Resident Evil," all of which showed the same spiel about a bunch of people who explore a dark place and encounter something scary).
*Most of the characters are dull. They tried to develop them to an extent, but they are ultimately unmemorable.
It took me a few viewings to truly appreciate this. I really don't care much for the characters (even the main character), and most wind up dying anyway. And when the film spends the first hour developing these boring characters, the film as a whole seems very tedious. But, the second half is very cool; there are lots of great fight scenes and slick special effects. I was largely impressed by the backstory that tied the Alien and Predator together. While this hardly compares to the other Alien or Predator films, this is pretty fun. Fans of either franchise should probably see this at least once.
Movie Review: A lot of fun but still lacks the punch of the previous films
Summary: 3 Stars
I remeber going to see Alien Vs.Preadtor back in 2004 when I was stationed in Europe with some of my Air Force friends. Walking into the film I thought I'd get the same feeling I got the previous summer when I saw Freddy Vs.Jason, and while AvP does has some cool action sequences it could have been so much better. Sanna Lathan was good as always while the rest of the actors seemed as if they were there just for a pay check. As for the sequel well let's just say it's a slight improvement.
