    I am a big fan of the Alien & Predator series, and I love this movie. I think this film is very underrated and it's really entertaining and fun. Even though it has little gore, it's still a great film.

    Excellent! I thought it was a great movie all together. I was on the edge of my seat. I'm a big fan of both characters (A & P). It may be a weird time frame, but it was a great movie. My friend even baught the DVD because he liked it so much.

    Although most people dont like this film i thought it was awesome. Great effects, perfect CGI, awesome storyline and action sequences. Mainly when people see this they think about the old films and how different this one is from them. But if you thimk about it can't be the same because both the alien and predator films are different, i mean, you have the two beasties fighting in a small tunnel. Most people who comment on films always look for the worst bits instead of the best. I give a huge thumbs up to Paul Anderson. Expand

    [***SPOILERS***] This movie had everything in it. I mean maybe some people didn't get it but I sure did. I mean wuts not to get, the pyramid they find is a jail the jail is for the aliens and the predators are the jail guards. I mean when I found out the pyramid was a jail I was stunned. Maybe some of you others weren't but hey I have seen all alien and predator movies and I say this one takes the cake. Plus when they tell the short story bout the aliens being killers and predators helping humans build the pyramids i was amazed and when has one of those people that look at pryamids told you that people actually made them without help from predators or "aliens".so I rate this movie 10/10 because if you dont get it then you pretty DENSE!!!

    A fairly good movie that doesn't deserve the flack that it's taking. Sadly, I knew it was doomed critically from the begining because of the fact that fans have been waiting for the movie for so long. There was no way, no matter who the director was, that this movie could please the fans. Oh well. I enjoyed it, and would see it again in a heart beat.

    This is the only exciting movie throughout this year on my point of view, it's amusing to see the two alien races battle each other. Has a sense of being freaked out while watching the movie. Incredible movie for fans that wants a worth buying ticket to spend

    "ALIEN VS. PREDATOR" is not the best, but it sures knocks out other 2004 flops and manages to please people who don't watch the past predecessors, still very good!

    I am a HUGE predator fan and think that the crab faced hunter has been portrayed beautifully in this flick. Although i am not much of an alien fan when these two species collide all hell brakes loose and even tho the story is great you really dont care when youre witnessing a predator slice off the face of an alien, its that damn good. the 2 disc extreme edition dvd is one of the most well put together and lengthy dvds i have ever used. the behind the scenes stuff is AWSOME!

    I new this wasn't going to be a good movie going into the theatre when I found out it was only pg13, so I wasn't let down much. Since I'm a huge alien and predator fan I thought this was a highly entertaining movie. Almost worthy of the alien vs predator comic books where they probably got a lot of there ideas from.

    Aliens vs. Predator could very well be the sleeper hit of the summer season. Filled with action, suspense, and a great performance by Lance Henrikson, the film really does justice to the two beloved and iconic franchises upon which it is based. Alien vs. Predator is a great movie.... FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't know what the critics problem is, although I think they are all ticked off that they didn't get to "pre-screen" the movie as such, which probably seems like a slap in the face to them. I don't know some of the other "user commenters" have against it but heres my take. I'm a huge fan of both franchises, and have been dieing for a movie like this since the tease in Predator 2, i've read all the books, quite a few of the comic books, and played the games. I went into this movie expecting a battle royale between Aliens and Predators, with a standard plot pulled up thrown in from one of the books. Thats exactly what I got, and I was a very pleased movie go when left, as were the 3 friends with me, and I'm planning to go see this movie again, thats how good it was for me. Expand

    I dont understand what u guys are talking about.. Sloppy 1d characturs.. horrible acting.. He was simply give the fans wut they wanted a action pack Alien Versus Predator movie thats what the fans wanted so thats what Paul WS Anderson give to you i thought it was a great movie, me myself i'm a Predator fan, but the Alien and the predator fighting was a thrill to watch. I gave it a 10 because I enjoyed the movie, and never listen to the critics are saying if u want to see a movie that intreses u go and watch it dont let other people tell u otherwise...Thanks Paul WS Anderson for a great movie!

    Lol i came into the movie not expecting much and i came out pretty pleased. it was pretty good mindless action and it was also kinda fun to see those two go at it. kinda silly but hey it was entertaining and half the audience at the end were laughing. i think this was the first - inter-racial-species dating movie lol. : turns around, flips dreadlocks to the side, walks triumphantly away to spaceship: lololol.

    If you're a fan of either series and/or a fan of Paul Anderson (the director/writer), you will LOVE this movie. If you're not, well you just won't get it, so don't see it. Geez.

    The movie has a pretty bad plot, but is one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in the past 10 years. It's simply a fun movie to see.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So they wanted to make the most feared thing in the universe look like pansies? Ya right. two of the damn predators die in the first 30 min! I know they are apparently kids and all, but damn, they are still predators. Expand

    A reductive spook show in which a bunch of puny humans get chased around by scary monsters.

    The thing-a-ma-jigs have it out with the whatch-a-ma-call-its -- as several humans scurry and scream between -- in Alien Vs. Predator, the kind of two-for-one dogfight (last repped by "Freddy Vs. Jason") that usually does more to bury a franchise than revive it.
  3. It's a murky, empty-headed dive into the depths of the Antarctic and the heart of monster movie cliches that leaves you praying for most of the cast to get killed off fast, to put them (and us) out of our misery.
