There is obviously no concrete way to judge a film from a trailer, as has been said already, many trailers project a different image into our minds than what the complete film may actually be. Although judging from everything we've seen so far, it's going to be hard to mess up. The simple fact that the creatures have gone back to their original roots (although the aliens are a little excessively bulky) is great in my opinion, & just the action scenes with the predator taking on the aliens look set to send chills of excitement up my spine.
On the subject of gore though, it is definitely a relief to see that the movie hasn't been toned down for the younger audience, although gore definitely does not make a film. Alien Resurrection for example was by far the most bloody in the entire series, & was easily the worst of the lot.
Whether AVP2 will be able to hold its own against the masterpieces which are Aliens & Predator remains to se seen, but either way, if the final film can even come close to the greatness of the trailer, we should finally have what we've been waiting for for so long, not only the pitting of aliens & predators against each other, but potentially the best movie from either franchise in many years.
