Movie Reviews of AVP - Alien vs. Predator / Alien vs. Predator - Requiem (Unrated Two-Pack)
Movie Review: TWO BATTLES YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS! A GUILTY PLEASURE!
Summary: 4 Stars
I know that purist are not fond of what's been going on with their beloved Alien and Predator franchises, but truth be told these film aren't bad. All things considered they have come up with a story that works to bring the two classic creatures together to do battle in this fun action flick and it's sequel!
I love movies and appreciate great works of art in film. I also am not above loving a good popcorn flick! Movies are here for our enjoyment, but unfortunately, some people are so pompous they forget what it's all about! ....... entertainment! I'm not knocking world class films like Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, The Godfather etc..etc., but all films don't have to be so profound......do they?
This gimmick is no different than what was done in the 40's when classic films like 'Frankenstein' and 'The Bride Of Frankenstein' had sequels like 'Frankenstein meets the Wolfman'! Although it's not a classic, it's still a memorable and fun movie.
These films don't destroy what was great about the classics, they actually pay great respect...a homage if you will to the originals. If you don't like these films....fine, but for me I have to admit I enjoy them ...if done right. The unrated versions are the best versions I've seen and the first film edges out the sequel, mostly because you can see all the action!
I did not have the same problem some reviewers have stated about everything being in the dark(to be fair I do have a huge screen, it might make a difference??). Some scenes are dark, but I only had two scenes where I couldn't tell who was kicking who's butt! It only lasted for a few seconds each time. It could have been brighter, but it wasn't too distracting. Grab some popcorn and some beers and watch these Sci-Fi Battle Royals!
Movie Review: A travesty
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a poor film. There was virtually no plot - what there was did not improve on the average 1950s horror B film, in which a load of small town idiots run around screaming and being picked off by the B.E.M.s, even uses the common 1950s ending in the monsters being nuked. I thought the original AvP was well done - but this is rubbish. No plot, poor acting and even the CGI was unoriginal and feeble.Movie Review: A Plain Buy!
Summary: 3 Stars
This packagae could have been so much better by just including the special editions of each movie but oh well. Overall a great two-set that will extend anyones likenesses for the films.Movie Review: Good movie but liked the 1st AVP better.
Summary: 4 Stars
I do agree that AVP 2 is darker then the first AVP was.
But I thought it was good dispite the darkness of the movie.
If you have seen the Aliens movies they are all in the dark.
Alien Quadrilogy (Alien/ Aliens /Alien 3 /Alien Resurrection)
So it is in keeping with the Alien dark movies.
I liked both AVP's but I think I still like the first AVP better.

It was OK, I probably would have not bought it if I seen it in the movies. It was filmed very dark and hard to see. I liked the first one better.
