I'm not sure if the AVP movies are any worse than Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection. I'll have to think about that.

Hey Tim... shoot, HELLBOY is a masterpiece compared to AvsP 2! I don't say Hellboy is "thumbs down", Tim, but about a 5 to 6 (to me), as it just doesn't have the replay value that other comic book movies do.
AvsP 2... it's like they just didn't care with the sets, and surroundings. Look at all of the great production design in the previous Alien and Predator movies, and even AvsP 1. In #2, both the outdoor and indoor settings were nothing special at all! So often you just new the producers were going to have the creatures appear (at a moment's notice) just to showcase another killing (no real build-up).
And what's with the PREDALIEN concept (a mixture of the two into one badass monster). I want Aliens VERSES Predators!
Again, I enjoyed ALL of the others in the series, even those with weaker moments, but Fox has ruined the franchise with the god-awful #2. The only thing cool about the BD was a bonus extra - those historical "files" that let you know every fact about both creatures (and the mission data from the previous missions - included on past franchise releases too I think). Glad I only rented #2... I own the BD of AvsP #1, Predator #1, and truly looking forward to acquiring Predator #2, all 4 in the Alien franchise.
