you know... i was pretty much expecting alien vs predator to be shit.
but i thought it would definitely have its moments. so it really hurts me to read things like this...
"Too bad Paul Anderson: Dream Rapist had to come in and single-handidly destroy everything I love in a quick 100 minutes."
"Paul Anderson has not made a movie for the fans. He's taken a beloved franchise, stripped it of it's soul, and marketed it to 10-year-old boys."
"Now let me say this first: I'm a big fan of the "so bad it's good" concept... Alas, it was not to be. AvP is, simply, hands-down terrible."
"At this point, the fighting begins, and it's fantastically stupid. We see the aliens jumping around like ninjas"
"I figured that blessed with the presence of two movie monster icons such as this, Anderson could maybe accidentally craft a film that was merely unoriginal, but maintained the minute possibility of being as fun as say “Predator 2.” I shouldn’t have aimed so high. “AVP” is a vacuum of celluloid that has no reason to exist."
"Out of all my brutal movie disappointments, this ranks a staunch #1."
"Fuck you, Paul Anderson. I hope you rot in Hell."
goddamnit.
