AVP

Stead and I went to see Alien Versus Predator this morning - not without some trepidation. It's had some poor reviews. Lots of fanboys on the internet saying things like 'the Alien's gestation period was all wrong' and 'the Predators ain't as hard as they should be' and 'the plot was crappy'. Also there's a lot of stuff flying around about the studio insisting that the film was cut to be a 15 at the last minute and the director having to cull plot building scenes because the studion only wanted a 135 minute movie.

Don't worry about it. It was a great movie. No-one expects greats plots from a monster movie. All we got was lots and lots of Aliens fighting people (well, killing them, anyway), Predators fighting people (well, killing them, anyway) and Aliens fighting Predators. It had a wholly predictable, but very cool, ending. What's not to like? Go see it!
