Posted Mar 30, 2005 - Infinitely better than Freddy Vs Jason. This is another case of Could Have, Should Have. If they had had more Predators, less humans dead and more fight scenes this would have been a great film. Combining the two major aliens in films should have been an amazing movie but it never delivered. Storyline was told within about 2 minutes when some translator sums up the whole story in a couple of sentences. Still no explanation as to how the aliens became. The woman was pathetic. And unfortunately, with an ending like that we can pretty much 100% expect an AVP2. Shame.

Posted Sep 13, 2006 - Well, they sure butchered this movie. It should have been so much better. It should have been a lot gorier, and there should have been more ficht scenes with Alien and Predator.

Just okay

Posted Feb 13, 2006 - I watched this movie expecting to see some knock down, shoot em up, face hugging, spear thrusting action. The movie had it, but nowhere near long or gory enough. Though they didn't have their cannons, which I admit are a must, how does one alien wack two predators and why did the director let one get taken out with no battle what so ever. Another thing, for all the humans in that movie, you'd think that they might be able to take down at least one predator or a few aliens, but no, not even a guy with two rifles could kill an alien. All in all the movie was just okay. If AVP2 comes out, it had better be an improvemnt.

Posted 1 year ago - Unlike freddy versus jason, Alien versus predator is way better, i dislike the pg-13 rating. It is like trying to tame the Alien, just like Ripley #8 said in Alien Resurrection. You can't teach them tricks. I am glad that the director had the alien and predator fight for some reason. The sequel Aliens versus predator: Requiem has an r-rating. But i have the "Extreme Unrated 2-disc version" on dvd. with 7 more minutes. Any Alien or Predator fans should watch the above films.

Posted Jun 21, 2007 - It was a inteligent way of bringing both franchises together, but the execution was a little lacking. Premise was shakey but if you like both franchises you will enjoy the flick.

Aliens Vs Who?

Posted Dec 20, 2005 - It shocked me how they could potray the predator as careless. 1st they underestamate the humans abilitys to figure out where there guns are, therefore rushing them into the pyramid with no guns. Then as they attempt to get there guns back, one of them dies while trying to kill a human, and the same alien kills the second predator just cause he didnt know how strong his own weapons would be against the aliens. Removing his mask when he knows theres face huggers and aliens around? Must I go on? I LOVE the predator, but here they made him seem more like the lost bunny in the maze.

Posted Mar 16, 2005 - Freddie vs Jason was at least an admirable effort to combine two movie franchises. This effort sucked. The plot was pathetic. No one expects any real acting so I can skip ahead to the worst aspect of the movie. Not only was it a bad plot but the ending was amazingly bad. Instead of seeing (what I had hoped for) a battle royale between aliens and predators, with humans caught in the middle, there was just a few minor skirmishes and most of the humans were killed off within 5 minutes. Ultimately it comes down to one woman who more or less "befriends" a predator. They join forces to stop the aliens from escaping... La de da. It was awful. So instead of seeing a possible series of films along these lines this piece of garbage effectively killed the combination. Some might be pleased. I see it as a huge waste.

Posted Jan 10, 2005 - Affectionately known as AVP. Sarted slow, but when it got going, it was a thrill ride. I liked it alot. No matter how many times I see it, I still squint my eyes when a dude goes into a dark room by himself and you know there's an Alien waiting to grab him and thrust his retractable mouth into dude's skull. Predator's are bad-asses too, but they have some good in them. I definitely was cheering for the Predators. But, come to think of it, Aliens have very strong maternal instincts. Rather than drill dude's skull with their retractable mouth, Aliens are apt to drag dude to the Alien nest and cover up dude with that sticky gunk so that MaMa Alien can lay an egg that bursts out one of them calamari things onto dudes grille and then ends up busting through dude's chest as a mini-me alien. MAD TV did a hilarious spoof of the movie called Alien vs Princess Diaries 2. Everytime the Alien did something like thrust its tail into the Princess's gut, the Princess would yell (while spewing blood), "Shuuuut Up."
