...dare I say...this actually looks like it might be good.

I'm not going to jinx it though, lol...so I'll be cautiously optimistic and say...I think it looks promising.

Debney scoring = a good sign as well.

It can't possibly be worse than Alien vs. Predator: Requiem.

Nothing could be worse.

I was worried this was going to be some Rodriguez-produced green screen movie and it's not. Good cast too.

Looks promising. No way this is going to be as bad or worse than the two AVP movies. I'd bet that sight unseen.

Debney can at least do something with an orchestra although I must say I'm disappointed we didn't get Silvestri back for this.

I'm not surprised though...Debney seems to be Rodriguez's "conventional orchestral composer" go-to guy.

Haven't heard much from Silvestri in a long time, particularly in the action genre, as well.

Well GI JOE was only just last summer... and then we have his A-TEAM score to look forward this year!

I'm going to say the second Mummy film and to a lesser extent Van Helsing were the last Silvestri scores that stood out to me.

That's how good GI JOE was...I totally forgot it!

To be honest it was an OK score but it was not particularly memorable...

I thought Silvestri's Beowulf was pretty strong, myself. The only Silvestri score since The Mummy Returns that has enticed me to buy it on CD.

I listened to it once and never bothered again. It didn't leave any impression with me at all. I should try it again.

There are only a smattering of reviews up on Rotten Tomatoes but all of them are extremely positive.

Really looking forward to Friday now...first movie since IRON MAN 2!

WOO-HOO! I am excited!!

Well it's early, but 5/5 and 100% so far with praise running through all of them.

In a nutshell, those people like the "old fashioned" tone of the movie, seems like Rodriguez and company didn't "reinvent" the franchise but rather do a tight, well constructed new entry in it -- and more of a sequel to the original.

I'm VERY excited as well Michael! Sounds like this could be the film we've been waiting for all summer long!

This should be good!
