I found that I was not in any rush to purchase this title, now I wish that I had brought it sooner. AvP2 is a very entertaining flick. I agree that the actors aren't anything special and that the movie is Dark, but its nothing like what other reviewers are saying.
What this film offers is more focus on the aliens and the Predator the human characters don't have much to do with the film, Its moments when you think some minor character development is going on only to have them killed off shortly after, No Victim has been left out in this movie either, everything from a young boy to pregnant women getting the Alien treatment, there is also plenty of gore from your typical Alien chestburster to Heads being blown off by the Predators weapons.

AvP2 is more about the Aliens and the Predator, the human cast are just there to be killed off and don't play any major role in the film except to be hosts to the Aliens, If you want it to be compared to the first AvP, I would say that the First AvP was more focused on character development and less about the aliens and predators, probably because of the amount they had to pay to its cast members, where AvP2 has forgone getting big name actors and spent its budget on the Aliens and Predators, AvP2 has a lot more Action and stays faithful the AvP universe.
