Not the typical "versus-junk"...

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2004)

First of all, let me start by telling everyone that I did not expect "Alien vs. Predator" to be any great epic or any kind of masterpiece at all. I expected ninety minutes of above-average entertainment, which I certainly got.
The two most popular deep space, hi-tech, blood thirsty, ugly alien motherf***ers in history are suddenly thrown into a violent battle of life and death in a way that actually works in my opinion, thanks to a good simple story. I usually don't like movies where different monsters and characters, popular as individuals, are suddenly united in movies like "Van Helsing" and "Freddy vs. Jason". These two are perfect examples on how NOT to make such a movie. But "Alien vs. Predator" don't seem to have this "versus-problem" at all. Both monsters fit great into the story of the movie and their popular characteristics, like the predators' cloaking-ability and the acid-like blood of the aliens, really makes the battles awesome. Watch it, it's worth it, but don't expect any masterpiece.
In my opinion, "Alien vs. Predator" deserves at least 7/10.
