AVP:R - worst film of the year?

Lucius Gore of Esplatter.com has endured ALIEN VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM, and he is not happy, calling it “easily the worst movie of 2007″ and a “sacrilege” perpetrated against the 1979 ALIEN. He also advises that AVP:R should be used “in film classes as an example of what can go wrong with a movie.” Read the whole (brief) post here.

UPDATE: The review at Horror Movie a Day is equally angry:

A requiem is another word for funeral, and this film has surely killed whatever goodwill that either the Alien or Predator franchises have ever earned.

Making the original [ALIENS VS PREDATOR] (which wasn’t all that great but I didn’t hate it as much as many folks did) look positively brilliant in comparison, this has to be the one of the dumbest fucking movies I have seen all year. And since just 2 days before I watched a movie that told us that Mt. Rushmore was carved for the sole purpose of hiding a clue that would lead to a lost city of gold that could have been used to restart the Civil War, that’s really saying something.
