To ingest Alien vs. Predator on its own slimy, divertingly synthetic terms, it helps to forget everything previously known -- and loved -- about the franchise monster aliens who get star billing.

Perfunctory battle sequences, cardboard characters, and uncreative scare 'ems.

The film equivalent of a deep-fried Mars bar: an interesting combination that results in a gloppy mess.

Take a wretched premise. Imagine the worst picture that could be made from it. Then imagine something even worse.

Anderson ... seems so pleased with the fact that he came up with a thinly plausible pretext for this clash of the popcorn titans that he didn't bother to develop the characters or fashion a plot with any suspense.

Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bouva and Ewen Bremner are tragically underused due to their characters being cliched and forgettable.

It's exactly what you would expect it to be, as long as you don't expect too much.

The special effects are great, the battles are big-time, and the dialogue isn't as awful as it sometimes gets in films like this.

In the end, we are left with a dull woman who is surrounded by puppets and voiceless actors covered in prosthetics -- and it's never a good sign when the special effects give more memorable performances than the hero.

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

Sadly devoid of any real thrills.

If you're looking for the type of R-rated action that flowed freely in every other film in either franchise, you will be sorely disappointed.

The extra few minutes of playing time in the movie do, indeed, improve it marginally, but not to such an extent that I would be willing to change my initial film rating.

This is an example of a franchise clash film that makes a negative out of two positives. Alien provides absolute horror and memorable characters in its films and Predator provides the thrills and more than necessary action sequences in its films. When the two meet what you get is cardboard cutout characters, too many

Its an entertaining enough sequel, however im now starting to get that feeling that if you've seen the previous one it will be pretty much the same.The fight scenes between the two different species are much more explosive and entertainging than compared to the first one which is a bonus.For me these movies just seem
