Fat Guys On ...

It seems like a good idea — you take the best hunter in the Hollywood Universe, Predator, and pit it against the most hard-to-kill insect you can find, namely Alien. But I think that the developers of this concept were so enamored with the idea after the first film in the series that they forgot to write a script. Or, I should say, they forgot to worry about the quality of the script.

It was poop.

One major problem, beyond the sheriff who looked like a college kid, is that Alien remains the bad guy, but Predator kind of becomes this tweener, where he's not quite bad and not quite good. He only kills humans if they get in the way of him trying to kill the aliens. The Predator, a not-so-bad guy? Now that's just silly.
