Critics Consensus

Gore without scares and cardboard cut-out characters make this clash of the monsters a dull sit.

The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please.

2.5/5

Any aura of artistic quality that may have once surrounded the original films has well and truly vanished; director Paul W. S. Anderson follows the Roger Corman style: keep it fast, dark and full of gratuitous shocks.

3/10

While Paul W.S. Anderson arrived with blockbuster experience in his background, Alien vs. Predator quickly felt outside his comfort zone. The resulting flick has moments of joy, but feels like a lesser entry for both franchises.

2/5

It was mindless fun watching the two iconic monsters fighting against each other but the problem is, the movie spends considerable time focusing on the human characters.

It was pretty considering what they were trying to do.

Boring and poorly paced. However, you get what you paid for the alien/predator fight scenes were impressive. At least the creators knew what type of film they were making

I fell asleep when watching this movie. the beginning is boring. The second half is a better with some nice scenes of the predator and alien fighting, but overall this movie isn't that great.

Good movie, with an interesting story line to connect Alien, Predator and Humanity together.
