I haven't actually sat down and watched all of Freddy vs Jason as I heard such bad things about it, but I am equipped to rant about AVP. I read the original comics and played the original game, so watching the movie is bitterly disappointing. The comics and game were appropriately set in the Aliens time and showed the idea that the predators hunted xenomorphs, but humans' technology had developed to a point that they were finally interfering with these hunts and crossing both sides. In the comics specifically, which the movie was clearly using as some form of inspiration, a farming colony is caught in a xeno hunt that goes wrong and the queen sets up her hive in the colony forcing a lone predator to help humans stop it. This predator was helping them out of a matter of honor he felt needed repaying since a human saved his life, not like in the movie where "scar" is given back his stolen weapon and just decides "oh what the hell, come on and help me!" Then there's the matter of the predator look itself in the movie, they were way too huge. The first two movie predators were like 7'4", and they were clearly strong, but they still had some acrobatic finesse look going on. The three in AVP just looked like football players and had all this armor stacked on. So yeah, having roided up predators and one of them being a straight-up good guy kills the movie for me.
