Review:

I definately have to say this is a really good movie. It keeps you at the edge of your seat, but it doesn't quite "give you a scare" as the "Alien" series did. I still enjoyed it, and it's quite creative how they connected the "Predator" series and the "Alien" series and saw them fight it out. The ending was very well done. I mean, we saw the second movie coming. All the fights were really good and I enjoyed just watching those 'aliens' beat the hell out of each-other. The thing I disliked about the movie was the simple plot. However, simple isn't always bad is it? But it could have been a bit more complicated. Anyway, I recommend you rent this movie, because it was really good. Also, don't worry about being scared, it's not really scary at all, unless you get scared of 'aliens' and stuff like that.

9/10

I love AVP and the other series of movies before it.
AVPR was a let down for me though.

Good review :]

I have never seen this movie but I plan too.

AVP:R was boring for some reason. They didn't do a good job, and in AVP it was actually entertaining.
I bet that there will be a third one. The ending of 2 kind-of hints at a third movie?

I remember the day this was released on DVD. Aliens is my favourite movie ever so I couldn't wait to see this and I was so dissappointed, this is one of the 5 worst movies I have on DVD. It was almost as bad as Freddy vs Jason. After this and FVJ I've decided that I'll never watch another Vs movie ever again...

You're the only one on here with good taste imo.

I thought the first movie sucked. it was a disgrace to the Alien and Predator franchises. AvP R redeemed it though, with cool action, cool characters, and some sweet monsters

Plus, the original AVP's predators looked like football players with masks and dreads, and the fight scenes were clearly fake. I think I even saw a scene done in stop-motion.
