AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

You would think that a crossover between the "Alien" and "Predator" franchises would be interesting, right? Well, no. It failed."Alien vs. Predator (AVP)" wasn't terrible like "Alien 3" or "Alien Resurrection", but it really was not good. The only redeeming aspects of it were the action was solid, and the special effects were well done. Other than that, the chatacters are not really worth caring about, the movie was slow paced, and the Alien and Predator barely fight each other. In fact, there were clones of the Alien and the Predator. To me, there should of just been one of each and they could've made a story about the two creatures battling each other from start to finish.Not very good, but check it out if you want.

A lot of the scenes from this movie were cut and edited from the original takes. This is why the movie gets so much hate from hardcore fans. There is no directors cut.Secondly the women at the end is supposed to be given the option by the elder predator to go on the ship because of limited fuel in the mad cat she will never survive until rescue. Machiko was her name and she eventually was supposed to be a vad ass predator. Rising through the ranks to the elites.

If you're going to watch this film you cant walk in expecting a serious film. Well maybe serious is the wrong word, but you have to be in on the joke and open minded.The sole purpose of this film is to watch the alien and the predator just go at it. If you are expecting that, you won't be disappointed. While the lack of gore does take away from some of the scenes it's all in all a fun flick. Especially if you're an alien and/or predator fan.

Alien versus Predator, what's not to like? Let's make it happen: Ali v. Frasier, Tyson v. Holyfield. All we need is a serviceable premise to pit these two against each other and we're talking about cinematic gold! Well, therein lied the problem. The story around having these two iconic creatures fight was awful. An underground pyramid has been accidentally discovered and a wealthy businessman wants to be the first to discover it. He hastily assembles a team of explorers, scientists and the oh-so necessary terrain expert, Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan). Of course instead of getting to brag about his landmark find, he finds he and his team are nothing more than canon fodder for the extra-terrestrials.Between the acting and the lazily developed story I was ready to scream. For thousands of years these inter-planetary predators would every so often visit Earth to harvest aliens in order to hunt them. What!? And as a parting gift to the humans that worshipped them they taught them how to build. Really!?Look, the only decent and watchable thing about this movie was the Predators and Aliens going at it like cats and dogs. After that there was nothing to pay attention to and nothing to hold my interest.
