On its own, the fight clip is fun to watch, but something doesn't feel right about it. ?To start, a one on one fight between these two killing machines is a no-brainer. ?Predator can't lose. ?Right? ?The fact that the Predator in this clip has any trouble should prove the the aliens will win the battle in the movie. ?If one Predator takes this long to dispatch one alien, how will they take on an entire colony that will undoubtedly outnumber them by quite a bit?
Let's face it: ?"Batman: Dead End" looks and feels way better than this.
"Alien vs Predator" is due out next week.

Charley, do us all a favor and look for another line of work other then reviewing movies because you suck at it. If you knew anything about either Franchise you would know Aliens are just as dangerous as Predators. I have been following these two Franchises for 11+ years by reading books, articles and of course movies. Aliens are as strong if not a little stronger then a Predator. Couple that with their excellent dexerity and natural weapons and you get an awesome killing machine. Also notice the Predator is using only brute strength and his arm blades. A human would have been ripped apart in a matter of seconds. This clip just sold me on how good the movie will be.

Actually, I have followed the franchise reasonably closely (at least I did until I was about 14 and then I started dating). ?I love Aliens. ?I want them to win. ?But the fact is, their main asset is that they have strength in numbers.
Just ask any marine with a pulse rifle.
Yes, a human would have been ripped apart, but we're not dealing with a human here. ?We're dealing with a Predator who can't even design his main weaponry (bad ass claws) to withstand the acid blood of what, according to the lore, is his arch nemesis.
So yes, Aliens are just as dangerous as Predators to humans, but in the comics et al. the Aliens are usually successful only when they surprise the Predators or they attack in force.
Oh god I hope my girlfriend doesn't read this post.
That's my experience. ?I own a few of the Dark Horse comics, but I don't claim to be an expert. ?Neither is most of humanity, though, so I feel like I'm speaking for the common guy--the guy who is going to be duped out of ten bucks next Friday.
I hope you're right and I'm wrong about this movie. ?I've been waiting for it ever since just before puberty.
And I would love to get another job but then who would take Jack to the hospital after he finishes bleeding all over his opponents.

You know, in some places in Africa there are animals who have only ever seen one type of human: hunters. They don't know that there are humans with normal jobs like lawyers or doctors etc... What if it's the same with Predators, that would make an interesting movie.

ive just seen the fight scene between the 2 and its wicked, what a heavy weight clash. But i have to agree with is, if the predator struggles to beat up 1 alien, how the hell is it gonna destroy a whole colony of aliens. only 5 predators and thousands of aliens..hmmm what r the odds. I bet arnie, danny glover and sigorney weaver will make a guest appearance and show how to kick ass, they've kicked alien and predators ass before respectively..so why not again...lol..save mankind......hahaha

I know what you're getting at, I mean you don't watch porn for the story. It's just that the actual fighting between the Aliens and Predators is no where near as cool as it should have been.

you fool. if you knew any-thing aliens are controlled by the hive Queen. and aliens just dont have the intelect to know when to bleed on someone. when you've been stabed or shot would you instanly think to spill you blood on your enemies? I know i wouldnt.
on a diffrent note i think predators and aliens are pretty evenly matched strength wise but predator have better technology and problay a bit smarter.
In predator 2 when the predator didnt have his visor mask on he needed a special kind of oxygen breather thing. but in Predator 1 he did'nt..... meh, i realy should'nt think to much about that. God i'm so depressed, think i'll sharpen my knife....

Predator 1 was so much better than the sequel, it was pur action at its finest. I'll admit Predator 2 picked up a bit towards the end but it was overall inferior. Also, Alien 3 was one of the most boring non-events I've ever had the misfortune of witnessing,
