Alien Vs. Predator: A Review

I gave this movie three stars on a five-star scale (think "Netflix"). This movie was just "all right." It had almost no character development and anything in this movie has been done before in either the first series of Aliens vs Predator comic books or the Batman vs Predator comic books. On some pretense a secret mission goes to Antarctica and finds a Predator hunting ground for Aliens. Since it was less than two hours, they could have taken twenty minutes and done some character development. It was neat for the premise and some "geek" factors (I'm sure every fanboy loved the last ten seconds). It was worth seeing but that was about it.

Which is very disappointing. Are they still bothering to make movies just because they think they will make a quick buck?

Everything was here for this movie, story- and action-wise. Develop characters more. Maybe TALK some more. It is rather sad these movies get made for a quick buck.

You're absolutely right. The scary thing is that it was trying to be serious, not tongue-in-cheek like Starship Troopers

Thanks for responding!
