I get your point but I liked 2 of those 3 10x more than AVP.

we just like different stuff.

in regards to the "competing with est canon etc". I think the saying, "never meet your hero's. they will always disapoint you." can sorta be applied here. ei: you've craved a Transformers movie ever since the first animated once came out in the 80's. what could possibly compete with almost 30's of anticipation?
