Aliens versus Predator 2 is a disgrace...

Man I am so tired of hearing people give praise to this pathetic attempt at horror. There is, literally, nothing good about it. The are B-movies that, even though are bad, still manage to entertain. The only thin AVP2 managed to do was give people headaches.
I am going to start by saying that I've always been a big fan of the Alien franchise. Alien always had that unforgiving, dark, atmosphere, and in a time where most aliens depicted in films were fishbowl-headed Martians, these movies introduced something terrifying, something that was invincible. There was genuine fear in those movies, I remember watching them and almost pissing myself from how awesome they were directed.
Now it seems instead of horror we are supposed to feel "coolness". Instead of people on a spaceship (a spaceship tugging a huge refinery no less), who had real personalities, we are introduced to the high-school loser, his unlikely girlfriend and the bullying jocks. Doesn't that ring anyone's stereotype bell? Instead of seeing the Aliens melt people's faces off all the time, we are given a side story about some dude nobody cares about trying to impress his girlfriend, and being bullied by other retards. To this, add a sidestory about some sheriff doing detective work.

I did not give one single unit of crap about the characters. In fact, by the time a half hour had gone by I was playing Supreme Commander and kicking some robot ass.

Oh, but, believe it or not, this movie actually has aliens in it. But you don't see them, since the camera was being held by someone with hands shakier than an old fart using three brains at the same time, all of them affected by Parkinson's .

And it's dark. Remember when Doom 3 came out and the screenshots were just pure black? Well that was a joke. This time it's real.

And why... why did they have to pair two completely different aliens from two completely different series and make a completely different, crappier series? I'm wondering if they did it on purpose to ruin both franchises. Honestly, I am beginning to lose all faith in American cinema... what's the last movie the British made that sucked? NONE. The British don't make movies about high-school kids fighting predators while making out with their "gf's". But in the US, pretty much every movie that comes out is a flop, and there is probably one movie every two years that manages to impress.

Of course AVP2 made tons of cash. I think in the US we should completely drop movie reviews and instead rank everything by winnings, because over here everything wins no matter how crappy or artless it is.

No classic movie is safe from milking. Maybe Obama will do something about it eh?
