Critics Consensus

Gore without scares and cardboard cut-out characters make this clash of the monsters a dull sit.

The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please.

2.5/5

Any aura of artistic quality that may have once surrounded the original films has well and truly vanished; director Paul W. S. Anderson follows the Roger Corman style: keep it fast, dark and full of gratuitous shocks.

3/10

While Paul W.S. Anderson arrived with blockbuster experience in his background, Alien vs. Predator quickly felt outside his comfort zone. The resulting flick has moments of joy, but feels like a lesser entry for both franchises.

It was mindless fun watching the two iconic monsters fighting against each other but the problem is, the movie spends considerable time focusing on the human characters.

Alien Vs Predator was a great movie, I’m not sure why all the hate or critics. The actors and acting was on point. The storyline and movie stayed on subject. The action was phenomenal as well as the attire. The predator and alien looked awesome and so real. Everything about the movie was great.

This movie was amazing. It was a far cry from the original script and concept but it turned out really fun anyways. The main character was pretty close to the feral human that hunted with predators from the comic. She looked good when it was TIME TO HUNT. Battle with the queen at the end was epic. If you liked Alien 2 I cant imagine you wouldnt have a lot of fun with this. Cant seem to decide if its a B-Horror film like Prometheus and Covenant but it ends with some damn good action. Its nice to get to see the Queen move around and look that good. Lots of good shots of predator too. Avoid the sequel.

Dumb, fluffy popcorn entertainment. Doesn’t excel, but doesn’t make me angry either.
