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.

9.8/10. Action packed one of my favorite films. The story makes sense and is super fun. Great watch and amazing crossover.

Great if you're watching in chronological order and are a nerd of the Alien franchise. It's not perfect cinema, but it's a solid film lending towards a great foundation for the lore of the Alien universe. 21% : 39% aren't a great representation of this film at all, especially if you understand the deeper aspects of the Alien / Predator lore.

This is a cheesy and silly film but it has its fun moments and it’s not terrible but not great either.

When you look at the rating Alien Romulus gets from a modern audience and compare it to this, it indicates how far mankind has fallen. Alien Vs Predator straddles a line when it comes to believability, time-line and so on, but unlike Romulus it has some atmosphere at the very least and some interesting moments. This sitting at 20 with Romulus at 80? Laughable. I know which I would rather watch again.
