A complete embarrassment to both franchises

Rating: 1/10 (28 October 2004)

I really wanted this movie to be good, I went into it kind of skeptical as a sort of defensive measure because it had the potential to suck even though I REALLY wanted it to be good. I'm a big fan of both franchises, I loved BOTH Predator movies, I loved the first two Alien movies, the 3rd and 4th were kind of meh. But no defensive measure could have prepared me for how terrible the movie actually is.
Paul W.S. Anderson is only called in to do mindless mediocre action/popcorn flicks. In this case, the jerkoffs who decided to hire him are from Fox, they know that an Alien vs Predator movie is going to draw a fair amount of cash already, so they don't want to pay too much for a director/writer. I f*cking hate them for doing this, purposely making a movie that has no substance whatsoever just because they don't have to work hard to make a bunch of money because they know that many people will see it just because of the name.
The movie features a crappy plot with a slightly interesting premise, terrible acting (although Anderson really doesn't give any of the actors anything to work with, just look at Lance Henrikson, he's a good actor but he had nothing to work with here, so the person to blame for the terrible acting is Anderson himself), horrifically crappy camera work during the fights, extremely cheesy scenes that are funny even though they aren't meant to be, and A LOT of errors to do with both the Aliens and the Predators.
I give this 0 out of 5 stars, there is no excuse for this travesty of a movie.
