Alien vs. Predator feat. um...Aliens. and Predators.

This one will be short folks. I wish the movie had been as well.
As a kid, I remember the little snippet at the end of Predator 2 (not a classic in its own right), where the inside of the Predator's ship had an Alien skull mounted on the wall. It was a great touchstone for debate. Who would win? How would they fight?
And the movie is here now, and my only question is: who cares?
Freddy vs. Jason played with genre boundaries, backstories, and fan loyalties. AvP merely played with special effects. The story may have worked nicely in a graphic novel, but on screen, it fell apart for me. Sorry to be a spoiler here, but when the movie turns into a father/daughter hunting trip for Predator and his newly adopted human female, the movie nosedives past camp and into schlock. Had I seen this for free, I would have enjoyed it. Some special effects will grab your attention, but I defy anyone to deeply describe their favorite moments from this film thirty minutes after leaving the theater.
The tagline for the movie is right on the money: Whoever wins, we lose.

2 out of 5 stars.
