AvP getting ripped to pieces

[Krug]

The early reviews are in.. and they're good. 'Crap', 'hands down terrible', 'avoid like plague' are just some of the descriptions so far. Note: Heavy spoilers!

I'm sure I'll still see it anyway. It can't be as bad as the D&D movie.

That would be nearly impossible.

Does this mean I can scratch the movie off my Oscar list for the office pool?

Damn, more paperwork to refigure now.

You know I wasn't very optimistic about this flick, but I was thinking of seeing it anyway. However after those reviews I will likely pass on spending money on it. Maybe Netflix in a few months or so.

The best thing I can do is to go into this movie having no expectations whatsoever. Then, feasibly, I could enjoy it.

I think that this, possibly, may help me go into the movie & see if it's entertaining or not. Drop the baggage of the previous stuff in the franchise, & just go with what's given. Sounds like there's some changes to canon from earlier films, but then again, there may be reasons behind them (which could or could not be on the cutting-room floor).

I'll be more interested in seeing what the "real" reviewers say tomorrow. Ain't it Cool News is infamous for belabored rants more than reviews anyway.

I don't trust AICN any further than I could throw Harry.

Yeah, if there's actually a relationship between a movie and its reviews on AICN, it's too subtle for me to perceive. RottenTomatoes has a better chance of guiding my expectations than Harry's Horde. At least the reviewers on RT appear to have grasped the English language and its use.

Maybe, but after watching the AvP clip on Yahoo! and what a crap job Resident Evil is, I really don't have high hopes for the movie. I'll watch it anyway, of course, but Paul WS Anderson... sheesh.
