Predator and had ambivalent feelings about it. I was expecting nothing more than watching the two beasts scrapping with each other and killing each other in imaginative ways. It's the best Alien film since James Cameron's Aliens and, dare I say, it's the best Predator film so far. But for its two hour run-time, it will keep you occupied. Nonetheless, in spite of everything it has going for it, it still doesn't leave that big an impression on me. Watching the two of them fight is a real treat for the eyes and ears. Adapting to the horror tone of its counterpart, it still delivers the action thrills the Predator films are known for. In this respect, Predator becomes a much more threatening villain too.

I decided that after the stupid Predator 2, the boring Alien 3 and, well, whatever the hell Alien 4 was, AVP couldn't get much worse.

But recently, I went through both film franchises again. I remembered it as a little dull, and a bit daft. Predator a lot of years ago, and I remember it leaving a bit of a non-impression on me. I decided that after the stupid Predator 2, the boring Alien 3 and, well, I saw Alien vs.
