Entertaining at best.

Rating: 6/10 (31 January 2007)

Let's get something straight, the acting in this movie is not bad. It's horrible. One exception though, Lance Henriksen. Too bad he could not save the movie.
I'm not a fan of director Paul Anderson. Not at all. But he has made one movie that's scary and amazing: "Event Horizon", an amazing scifi/horror. If you haven't seen it, check it out as soon as you can. Anderson's work on "Alien vs Predator" is good but not as good as an Alien/Predator film deserves to be. With an R rating a better cast, who knows how good this movie could have been.
The film has many flaws. Worst of all: No gore! What were they thinking? You put together two of the greatest monsters in filmhistory, both featuring in r-rated franchises and you just throw that overboard for an pg-13 rating. Damn you 20th Century Fox. This is not only a disappointment but also a huge slap in the face for the fans.
The female lead of the film is weak. Especially when you're used to the awesomeness of Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley. What they should have done is take a actor or actress from the previous films, maybe Weaver or Schwarzenegger and put them in between the two monsters. True, the movie is not about the humans, it's about the Alien and Predator kicking each others butt, but still.
On the positive side: the creatures look good, thank God. The fights are awesome, the predators used some cool new gadgets and i liked the whole pyramid idea.
Entertaining.
