That made it seem like the movie was going to live up to expectations, but alas, it didn't for me.

AVP, pretty good sci-fi movie, terrible Alien/Predator universe iteration

I remember it was really cool seeing Predators (the creatures not the Rodriguez film) in a film again - the first time since, what, 1990?

I agree this was a good introduction seeing the biomasks on the ship - there was something very Nostromo-like about it which was possibly deliberate.

I agree it was awesome seeing them on film again, and actually seeing them interact with the xenos, but after all of that wore off I was like "wait, that sucked!"

Really wish they would have followed the Aliens vs Predator comics more closely, instead of the fresh approach they tried.

AvP comics were so ____en amazing, imo. The stories were just brilliant, Prey in particular. They introduced a whole new wonderous atmosphere that was on par with the quality of the Alien and Predator franchises imo.

No matter what anyone says, I love them and always will. They, the Kenner figs, and AvP + AvP2 the game were what introduced me to the genre.

I remember after seeing AvP at 9 years old, I went through this whole love/hate phase with it. I loved it because the action scenes were beyond incredible, the power they put out, the Predalien, etc. But hated it because I had grown up loving Machiko and Dachande, then seeing AvP and thinking "So they copied Machiko's story, and made it worse. WHAT THE HELL?".

Don't worry bud, I've grown to appreciate AVP over the years. As a film it's produced and made well unlike AVP:R. However, I'm still bedazzled by Wolf's awesomeness.
