Future Alien and Predator films never managed to capture the appeal of the originals, but they were at least more watchable than this. AVPR is without question the worst that these franchises ever got. Full Review | Original Score: 1/10 | Mar 25, 2022 Manages to capture the appearance (and infrequently the mood), but never the essence of what made the original films so engaging. Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 24, 2020 The obligatory climactic battle is a pathetic letdown. Full Review | Original Score: 0/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020 What I found was a cruel and brutal yet entertaining romp through the hallowed ground of the Alien and Predator franchises. Or, to put it in another way, this film is about as good as a sequel to a spin-off could possibly be. Full Review | Apr 10, 2020 The word "requiem" is defined as a "mass for the dead." Let us now hold our own requiem , because thanks to ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR: REQUIEM ... two of my favorite franchises, Alien and Predator, are surely now dead. Full Review | Nov 6, 2019 A complete mess, featuring incoherently edited action sequences and poorly written characters. Full Review | Jun 3, 2019 So dark it's mostly impossible to see what's going on, which is probably a blessing as the imagery I could see was an unpleasant mix of motherhood and sexual violence. Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 10, 2018 Ruthlessly violent as fans requested, but like the first AvP, Requiem pines too much for the human element in a monster-on-monster affair. Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 13, 2018  If this is what the future holds for both franchises, then today's youngsters are welcome to it. Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2012 Aliens VS Predator - Requiem is the second film in the over hyped and under performing crossover series, which brings nothing new to the table while tarnishing the franchises' original films. Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 4, 2012 In a word, repugnant. | Original Score: 2/10 | Nov 15, 2010 ...an utterly needless sequel that's sure to disappoint fans of both franchises... Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 8, 2009 Well, it's official: the Road to Hell is pretty much paved over ... the Strause Brothers ... expressed their [good] intention to return to the dark, scary tone of 1979's Alien, yet Requiem is just about as bad as its 2004 predecessor. Full Review | Jul 9, 2008 Too underlit to qualify as splatter, too bloodless to qualify as fun, too unaware of its own idiocy to be enjoyed Grindhouse-style, AvP:R is a real education in the finer stratifications of badness. Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 13, 2008 Does Alien vs. Predator: Requiem spell the end of the dual-monster franchise? Let's hope so Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 23, 2008 Well, there's not much to see here. And I mean that literally. Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 9, 2008 Un spectacle insipide, ennuyant à mourir et de très mauvais goût Full Review | Original Score: 2/10 | Feb 5, 2008 I'm left wondering why I felt like I was watching two different movies that never quite came together as a parallel arc beyond the clunky "They're all fighting personal wars" motif... Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 5, 2008 Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem is literally shrouded in darkness, and the only explicable reason for this pitch-black visual schema is that the filmmakers understood it was better if no one could see the **** they were shooting. Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 20, 2008 Prev Next Do you think we mischaracterized a critic's review? |
