Yeah, I take your point.
I did enjoy that first Alien Predator movie, but only as a generic action flick.
Even though I thought it was good for what it was and was still enjoyable enough in a turn your brain off type of way, it was nowhere near up to the great standarRAB of the first two Alien films. Not even as good as Alien 3.
If they can get a bit of depth, good characterisation, good story, less corny and more realistic dialogue, and a strong feeling of tone back into the franchise then hopefully things will be back on track again.
