Far better than AVP.
AVPR picks up immediately where AVP left off but then proceeds to apologise profusely for the continuity errors glorified by Paul Anderson (10 minute aliens anyone?).
One thing worth mentioning is that AVPR has the feel of a survival horror, the aliens are proper badass as opposed to being a threat to everything but the main protagonist.
The lone predator is a nice allusion to the Predator franchise, and like those Predators doesn't look like a brick shit house with a head but instead like a body with a brick shit house on top. The concept for this Predator appears to be something along the lines of an Elder or security operative cleaning up a hunt that has gone badly wrong.
There is some genuine tension in this movie and the film makers clearly weren't afraid to push the envelope when it came to showing just how genuinely horrible the aliens actually are, though they might only have been doing that to be gratuitous.
Overall I would have to say that I enjoyed AVPR, it has left some hope for the franchise.
