Alien vs. Predator: You wait the whole movie with uninteresting human characters for a monster fight…and then it’s mediocre at best. 5/10

Predator 2: Predator in the city is a great idea, but it takes a backseat to subplots including voodoo, gang warfare, and cop clichés. 5/10

Predator: One of the most unique aliens on film hunts a team of badasses. A classic action film with great FX and performances. 9/10
