	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Time Out	"It crawls along for an enervating hour or so in the mud of murky exposition, then seizes up in an underlit fit of incoherent fight scenes and gotchas"	NEG
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"To ingest 'Alien vs. Predator' on its own slimy, divertingly synthetic terms, it helps to forget everything previously known — and loved — about the franchise monster aliens who get star billing."	NEG
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"Fans beware - your fave two sci-fi franchises have been stripped of all their guile and maturity. It may offer the occasional treat, but 'AvP' is sadly devoid of any real thrills (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Cliff Doerksen Chicago Reader	"I've never played the computer games this was patterned after, but they've got to be more compelling than this dumb-ass feature"	NEG
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"Anyone expecting a decent film (...) will likely walk out feeling defeated (...) [It] never suggests a reason for existing other than the fact that it can."	NEG
United States	Dave Kehr The New York Times	"[It] has some solid formal qualities thanks to the director (...) A very sticky movie, though not, ultimately, a very frightening or commanding one."	NEU
