Ok, I will tell the truth right now: I was excited when I heard there was finally going to be an Alien vs. Predator movie. This is something that people have been dreaming of since the early '90s. I will also admit that I would like to see it out of curiosity (even though I most likely won't because I know it will suck). How do I know it will suck?

Think about it......

Alien was a movie that came out in the late '70s. Sure, it was good and lots of people liked it. It even started a sequel franchise that lasted to the late 90s. However, they are all bad.

Predator was a movie that came out in the '80s, and starred (!) Arnold Shwarzenneger and Jesse "The Brain" Ventura. It wasn't my personal favorite, but it can be considered a classic i guess. Predator 2:The Sequel wasn't good though. It starred...ummm...Danny Glover. Yep. (I remember one night in Jr. High/or High school I fell asleep with the tv on, and woke up during the night and WCBI channel 4 was playing the movie uncut and commercial free. Really freaked me out.)

So here's my point: The Alien vs. Predator movie is approximately 15 years TOO LATE! Now, I understand that with the overuse of CGI these days, it's the ideal time—for effects, but it's the wrong time for the idea. No kid these days readily knows anything about these movies, and only people pushing 30 remember well the AvP video games. Now hopefully the recent release of Predator and the earlier release of the Alien Quadrilolgy will spark an interest in younger minds...if not...this movie will bomb.
