Putting two of the most famous monsters of film history in the same movie and  having them kill each other should have been a flawless plan. Both the Alien and Predator franchises have a giant fan base that would definitely watch this film.

To be fair, the audience get what they come for. Aliens and Predators are killing each other left right and centre and unlike it's terrible sequel, you can actually see what is going on. Unfortunately it's the characters that let the film down. I found that I did not care about a single character in the whole film. Unlike Alien, Predator or even Alien: Resurrection, I wasn't rooting for the characters to survive. I found the main girl irritating and couldn't wait for her to be turned into a snack for E.T.

This film may be tons better than AVPR, but that's not hard to do. Alien vs. Predator has a poor story, cringe worthy dialogue and unlikeable cardboard cut-out characters. If you've just come here to see Predators and Aliens clawing at each others throats however, you will be satisfied.
