I was the tech guy for the drama department in high school, and I'm almost positive we had better lead actors in our production of Guys & Dolls. I'm also pretty sure I lit the damn thing better than this movie, and I was running on exclusively Doritos and sexual frustration. I guess my point is me and the weird kid who wore Dragonforce t-shirts could've knocked this out of the park.

Better than the first film in almost every way, not that that's saying a lot. The film doesn't give in to the cliches of not brutally killing off characters just because they're helpless children or lead characters, so you're never quite sure what to expect. AVPR is a film that doesn't try to be more than it is, but succeeds at being what it is: fun and entertaining. At least the writers seem to understand the canon, though the storyline is merely a sparse afterthought.

The follow-up sequel to the the disappointing gimmick film "AVP: Alien vs. Predator"(2004) is one of the best made for "Sy-Fy" channel movies...what? This wasn't made for TV? No. Actually "20th Century Fox" said make another one for less money, but this time don't try so hard. If you thought the first one was generic B-movie schlock you haven't seen the sequel. Although most people haven't seen the sequel either, since the majority of the movie is just shadows on screen running through the dark.

I could hardly make out what was going on for most of the time, which makes it hard to know how good its action scenes are. Everything else is superfluous, because this is a popcorn flick about aliens and predators doing battle. But since the action scenes are indiscernible, there isn't anything to take from this film, and no reason to watch it. And then there are the changes it makes to the existing continuity, or the logic problems that hamper it in addition to the lack of watchable action.

Can we all agree that somewhere buried within two terrible movies is a decent idea for a movie. The idea of Predators taking on Aliens should be able to muster some interest, but it isn't anywhere to be found in this film.

The beginning where it showed the predator home planet and the preparations for the hunt was good but after that it all went to shit. Pretty abysmal but not quite bad enough for me to rage against it. There were still a few good scenes in this but overall it's hard to figure out how Hollywood managed to fuck this up so badly. This would have been a good idea if the terrible actors were given no screen time and it was done entirely in the point of view of the predator or aliens.

I have to give it to the movie for playing it pretty straight. Fucking aliens are killing the shit out of things. Fucking predators are killing the shit out of things. They both try to kill the shit out of each other. And there are a bunch of shitty actors that run around in the middle of it and slowly die. It's not a good movie, but at least you know what you're going to get.

Requiem is undoubtedly better than the first, as it knows not to meander around the fact the audience doesn't want to see anything but Aliens and Predators tearing each other apart. Though it starts out a little on the slow side, when it finally picks up it really gets going. The action is great, and while the acting, story, editing, and every other technical aspect of the film flounders, AVP:R is still a wholly enjoyable experience. Don't expect gold, but expect to have some fun.

Slightly better than the first but still not "good" by any means. The action is hard to follow due to the movie being so dark. Now this tone worked well in the original Alien because there was only one alien and you weren't meant to see it. This film has aliens galore and clearly one of it's selling points was how awesome the fights are. Sadly you can't seem them. To be honest though, this film wouldn't have been good even if you could see them.

With human characters lacking any major kind of sensory apparatus, pitch black environments preventing any true coherence and teenagers in all the major roles, it really shows what a joke the series has become. Seeming to conform to the expectations of a teenage slasher flick, it does so while stripping the series of all tension and suspense, something to be ashamed of considering the Alien heritage. Another pile of steaming turd for both franchises. And of course, blame the fucking terrorists.

As a fan of the Alien series, one question: when did aliens start growing to full size in less than 30 minutes? As a fan of the Predator series, two questions: the predator in this film wasn't on Earth to hunt, so why did he follow the 'no weapon, no kill' code and why did he feel inclined to skin a body? And as a fan of reality, two questions: why doesn't anyone in a town big enough to have a power plant notice an alien ship crash in mid-day and why is it so easy to survive a heli crash?

Most annoying characters and stupid subplots that have nothing to do with the actual story. Where the first alien vs predator had something new and exciting, this one was boring and used to many stupid one-liners and bad action-moments. Not good and one of the most stupid solutions I've ever seen at the end of a movie.

Okay, so this movie doesn't do anything right, but lets focus on the things it does less wrong: First of all, it places the aliens WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE AT! *DING* Took you a movie to figure that one, eh? Secondly, it has a deliciously nasty scene in a maternity ward - that's points for memorable stuff! Sadly, it also has annoying people that you couldn't care less about, and it features the DUMBEST predator - nay! - Extra-Terrestrial to EVER visit Earth. And that's counting the Thermians!

Instead of a straight action flick like most of the previous Alien, Predator, and Alien/Predator combination films, this one is more gory high body-count horror. The writers also made the odd choice of repeatedly introducing sympathetic characters and then immediately killing them in horrible ways, rather than the usual custom of mostly killing evil or random characters. Overall it's too confusingly shot (the bad lighting doesn't help) and random to be very good, but it's no worse than AvP 1.

About ten minutes in you can tell that the fundamental mistake this movie makes is to focus on the humans -- humans that are one-note archetypes with no depth or quality of performance. I know I said in my AvP review that "you shouldn't judge movies like this on performance", but when the movie FOCUSES PRIMARILY on human characters, you almost have to. The action is still fine and I appreciate the visual upgrades that came with the three years between movies. But, uh... yeah, it's not great.

The look of the picture has the nostalgic presence of the past 80s films making for a more recognizable film. But the editing and dark lighting fail to impress- when you can't tell what's happening onscreen, there's not much to root for. AVP-R steps closer to that hardcore beast of a movie that alien & predator fans dream of, but everything feels so rushed here, that without a plot, characters, explanation, and bad editing - these two legends may never see the light of a real revival for either.

What if Aliens vs Predator was a slasher, but also so incredibly dark that you couldn't see anything? Speaking as someone who liked the first AvP, this has the feeling of a DTV sequel. Yes, the concept of Aliens and Predators on Earth is cool. But, that cool idea is like a QB throwing an easy pass to a WR, and having them drop it. That's a little sports reference, for ya. Feel free to look up what QB and WR mean if you don't know.

Five minutes after the events of Alien vs Predator, a newly-born PredAlien hybrid causes a Predator ship to crash near a small American town. Aliens run rampant, forcing the town's populace – including an ex-con, his pizza boy brother and an army mom – to fight back, with a little help from a new arrival: a vengeful Predator…

Holy Colorado, the bloody devastation brought upon this poor ol' small town with its sheriff and diner and high school pool.. two-thirds in, the power's out and everyone we've met is getting ripped apart. "See? No monsters." Damn. Say what you want about the rest of the film (the character writing is pretty weak and cheesy; that butt shot was definitely unnecessary), but the horror (not just from the monsters-see the climax), in its bold, unrelenting, and impartial nature, is quite effective.

There's absolutely nothing positive to say about this. Tell me, Strause brothers: You have two legendary creatures with iconic traits, why do you insist on just making them bland monsters in a film that seems to have been written before the licence was aqcuired? BTW, why doesn't any character react to anything like normal people would? For instance, if I threw someones keys down a storm drain, would anyone go down in the sewer to try and find them in a river of feces? OK, but apart from you?

Unforgivable. Everything about this says it was some half-assed teen slasher script the studio had in their archives. They dusted off the script and gave it to some screenplay writer, who was faced with the unenviable task of trying to write Aliens and Predators into an existing story. Another steaming turd laid upon 2 once-proud franchises.

AVP: Requiem makes it's predecessor look decent. The novelty of the idea wore of almost immediately first time around and this just feels like an even more desperate money spinner. I can't see how any fan of either the Alien or Predator franchises can say they enjoy these films. They're an insult to everybody associated with the first two Alien films and the original Predator. And the saddest thing is judging by form of the film industry today, you can't rule out the chances of an AVP3.

This is a completely forgettable film. I felt like I knew a lot of the actors from some of my favorite TV shows like Reiko Aylesworth from 24 and Steven Pasquale from Rescue Me... but it really didn't help anything. I didn't care whether the characters lived through this attack or died. I felt like the predator wasn't really that intimidating and the new Alien/Predator hybrid was sort of neat but it didn't blow me away. The main thing this movie was missing was good one liners and Bill Paxton

Whilst I can't disagree with a lot of the criticisms (unlikable human characters, poor lighting and editing... better than Bond QOS though!) I don't think it deserves all of the criticism it gets. Watched on a TV (smaller screen helps combat the poor editing) and in a fully darkened room to combat the poor lighting I can pretty easily follow the action 90% of the time and very gritty, gory action it is. So, for me, better than the first AVP if still far from up to the separate franchise movies.

The two main problems are, as many have mentioned, the lighting (which has been a problem with the entire Aliens series) and the fact that the Aliens and Predators had very little to do with the storyline. It could have been absolutely any invading race and the film wouldn't have changed at all. The Aliens and Predators have an identity, built up by the previous instalments, but here they were barely used beyond being the big scary monsters for the humans to run from.

Lets start with the mini-rant for those who know what I'm talking about. Why would you watch a sequel movie when you didn't like the first, just so you can be a whiny nitpicking bitch. This film, while not quite as good as the first, is still an enjoyable flick. If they would have employed better actors it would have turned out even more enjoyable.

Starting right where the last one left off, the Predalien causes a Predator ship to crashland near a small woodland town and the facehuggers onboard nearly turn the entire town. A lone Stealth Ops Predator is sent in to perform cover it up: blow the ship, kill the aliens, disintegrate the bodies with blue liquid, and silence witnesses. A bunch of characters are set up to be the ragtag group left at the end but you never give a shit about them.

I'm apparently going out on a limb till it breaks, but this works very well as a spin on a cheap and nasty B-pic; fast paced and even genuinely creepy at times, though once the Aliens take centre stage, we see far too much of them, dissipating the suspense from the early stages. Far from either of our titular heroes finest hours, but a marked improvement on its predecessor, with the added novelty of seeing Aliens on Earth (though the Predator gets surprisingly little look-in).

Horrendous, although if you've seen the first one, you pretty much know what you're getting into. This one just doesn't even have any good concepts behind it like the first one did in places. There is zero reason apart from studio greed for this movie to exist, as there is nothing in this movie that any fans of either franchise were clamoring for. Definitely give the AVP movies a miss.

But I still gave it one more point than Aliens. Also: if you have the Aliens get to Earth, the big moral no-no in all of the Alien movies, then at least we should see some apocalyptic urban chaos involving the monster with the most complicated reproductive system in cinema but no sex life.

Money talks, and that's the only reason this ever got made. Taking two iconic franchises and throwing them in a teenage "slasher" movie is insulting to say the least. To make matters worse, the film is almost unwatchable, literally, because the movie is so dark, it's really hard to actually see any substance. The movie lacks any real reason to care about anyone and in the end holds no value, and the only thing it tries to create is AvP action sets, and disappoints in that. Truly terrible.

Te best thing about it is that it made me appreciate AVP more. At least that one did two important things better. First this one is so dark it's hard to tell what's going on most of the time, in AVP at least there is some decently followable AVP action. Secondly the human "fodder"; In AVP the characters but are used effectively and with a clear purpose to introduce the Alien vs. Predator stand off, in this one we are stuck with some uninteresting town people with their irrelevant plotlines.

The first 3rd is ok w/ some humans who are far more interesting than the ones in the last film since the writer smartly makes sure to give at least the brothers their own sets of problems & goals. The younger brother's crush could be the seed for a John Hughes film, unfortunately the film deteriorates FAST, w/ the town inexplicably & abruptly falling under military jurisdiction. The fights are also often hard to see & the filmmakers think we care about certain characters dying, but we don't.

What I enjoy about both franchises is how each of their individual films are the same rudimentary premises interpreted as different styles of film by different directors. Here they go the route of exploitation b-movie about sci-fi monster killing people and each other. That's what we get is some nasty gore and especially mean-spirited violence (women and children!). It's not something that is ever, by definition, "good". But it's entertaining and succeeds on its own terms.

Worst Alien- or Predator-related film. Essentially there's no script, therefore "AVPR" is a slow, dull, repetitive mishmash of uninteresting characters, filler sequences and the same basic action scenes over and over again. There are some redeeming qualities, e.g. two or three awesome deaths, but there's just no gravity to the clash of the two monsters. "AVPR" is not too bad for a second-rate monster movie but there's simply no comparison to even the weakest of the franchises' previous moments.
