now this is one movie that i'm really looking forward to, beeing a huge fan of all the orginal films.
sadly though i'm half expecting to feel thoroughly dissapointed after having seen it. what i fear is that the production company will throw in a good looking girl (i've seen a black girl in the trailer that fits all too well that goes by the name "alexa 'lex' woods"
) in order to, as they see it, attract some of the male audience and at the same time make that bimbo into an independant girl capable of disposing of aliens and similar, thus making the movie interesting for girls as well... the result of such an attempt is certain to ruin any a good flick. good looking girls and acting skills are seldom found in pair and they tend to be hysteric and boisterous in a most annoying way. nothing wrong with girls beeing able to care for themselves with guns etc, it was sigourny weaver to a large extent that made the first four movies so good, but it becomes annoying and pathetic with skinny models disposing of aliens by the hundreds, it simply ruins all credibility. and there's yet another risk with having a young fighting girl in a movie: the utterly cheesy and oh so predictable hollywood romance that grows from a dislike to fierce kissing at the end of the movie. yuck.
the directors's (paul w.s. anderson) list of previous efforts is not very reassuring either: shopping, mortal kombat, resident evil, but apparently the greatly underrated event horizon was directed by him as well, but that can't redeem films like resident evil or mortal kombat, never.
but i guess i'll have given them my money and is sitting contentedly in the theatre when it's out, oh well
