ALIENS - MOVIE REVIEWS: ALIENS VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM

Only a handful of critics managed to get a look at Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem before it opened Tuesday. And they savaged it. Among seven online reviews tracked by the Rotten Tomatoes website six were negative. "A dull actioner that looks like a bad video game," was the way Kirk Honeycutt in the Hollywood Reporter referred to it. On the other hand, Neil Genzlinger in the New York Times (the only major newspaper to publish a review of it) concludes, "It may not be classic sci-fi like the original Alien, which it has in its DNA, but it's a perfectly respectable next step in the series."
