Alien Vs. Predator is a gimmick - an all-too-blatant attempt to lure fanboys away from their computer games and into theaters. It's not likely that the movie will be of great interest to anyone else, except perhaps as a curiosity. 

There’s nothing like bringing two horror franchise titans together, who have a total of six R-rated films between them, and watering down their carnage so the little league crowd can see the film on a Saturday matinee. D

With its restrictive PG-13 rating, poor acting, awful writing and mediocre direction, “AvP” disappoints the fans at every turn. Fox has taken two of their greatest franchises and turned them into a joke. “AvP” is nothing more than typical action fare which, all considered, isn’t much of a compliment at all. 

--John Ulmer (Movie-Gurus.com)

And if all you really want is to see these built-to-kill bad asses fight to the death, then you're in for a treat. It's like watching a very non-scary, screeching, interstellar cockfight. There's a heaping helping of acidic bloodbaths, infrared-vision shootouts, gleaming Predator weaponry, and oozy Alien slime. Yes, folks, it's all here... 

--Annette Cardwell (FilmCritic.com)

The most prevailing thought in my head after sitting through Alien vs. Predator was "it could've been worse," which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. Still, given the ridiculous rating and Anderson's reputation, it's a sentiment that's entirely true. 

--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)

There are some genuinely thrilling fights in Alien vs. Predator, some decent CGI sparks flying around, but in the end, what audiences are left with – once the smoke and extraterrestrial gunk clears – is a movie which occasionally enthralls, frequently stalls, and leaves you wanting more. Maybe the inevitable sequel will fully satiate us fanboys. 

--J.P. Mangalindan (MovieWeb)

---

There is no suspense. There is no energy. The acting is bland, the pacing is perfunctory and there is no sense of dread, except that this yawn-fest will never end. While that last is undeniably effective, there are more fun ways to scare an audience. 

--Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)

So, yes, we lose. Nobody wins here. It’s just 102 depressing minutes of Riddick-esque sci-fi dreariness. No charm. No wit. No style. Nothing to make you happy. Nothing worth remembering. We lose. 

--Collin Souter (eFilmCritic.com)

“Freddy Vs. Jason” is a movie that exceeded its crossover potential, “Alien Vs. Predator” is a film that may ultimately kill both franchises. Thanks a lot Paul. 

--Dennis Swennumson (eFilmCritic.com)

Were this a stand-alone piece of genre fluff, the disposability of "AvP" could be a lot easier to swallow. But given its impressive lineage of excellent movies and high-end graphic novels, the end result should have been a lot darker, starker and laden with chills. "Alien vs. Predator" is a cool-looking lunchbox that's full of rocks. 

--Scott Weinberg (eFilmCritic.com)

You may be assured that in "Alien vs. Predator," many humans are dispatched, in approximately the same order they usually go in slasher films (nameless characters first, then mean characters, then people we like, and so forth), which is essentially what this is. C

"Alien vs. Predator" is mediocrity incarnate. It's not even bad enough to make fun enough, it's just uninspired, dull and utterly forgettable.

If your favourite idea of fun involves thrashing around violently in the dark, uncertain as to why you are doing it or what will come of it, then this is the movie for you. 64/100 --Brian Webster (Apollo Guide) The actual fights between the predators and the serpents are too silly to contemplate. Both shiny and metallic, they look like kitchen appliances fighting it out.  --Jack Mathews (New York Daily News) ...there were very few of the "kills" that I remember because the camera cut away before we saw anything, nothing about the movie was scary or suspenseful and the lead actress had none of the charm, strength or bite required for such a role. Sigh. Catch it on video so that you can fast-forward to the good parts and call it a life. 5/10 --'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com) “Alien vs. Predator” — a deadly dull grudge match pitting the baddies of two moribund Rrated franchises — as a familyfriendly PG-13 makes about as much sense as staging Mike Tyson’s next heavyweight bout at Sesame Place.  --Lou Lumenick (New York Post) Alien Vs. Predator isn't about acting, or screenwriting, or heartfelt drama. It is about the chase, and the horror of the situations, and the slimy creep factor of the alien species, but it fumbles the outcome.  --Dustin Putman (The Movie Insider) Anderson’s film plays far too much like a big-screen video game, especially when the mysterious temple keeps changing its structure every ten minutes, but I suppose that’s to be expected since it is, after all, the director’s specialty.  --Marc Savlov (Austin Chronicle) ALIEN VS. PREDATOR is an attempt to market the old characters to a new generation of moviegoers. Tossing away anything that made earlier entries great, they have been shoved out like a piece of junk food. --Scott W. Davis (HorrorExpress.com) Everyone is a winner in this one - apart from the poor viewer who must endure those annoying human characters for far too long before the real fighting starts. 5/10 --Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
