AVP - Alien Vs. Predator

Alien Vs. Predator (aka AVP) should have been very much better, given that there are three perfectly fine books published in 1994 that could have been converted into the screenplay. The writers of the AVP movie script have chosen to use a plot based on what I would call a Nintendo pyramid - which is probably OK for a video game, but not for a movie.

Of course, people who have read the AVP books and\or graphic novels will be largely disappointed by the movie, which only gets rolling with any excitement in the last 30 minutes of the film. Even then, it's too little too late. Why waste any footage on people getting implanted with larvae, or being snatched up by the Aliens, as has been done ad-infinitum in other films? Who is this film for? It should have been for the fans. What a lost opportunity this is. Just think what James Cameron could have done with this.
