Who's seen it and what did they think? Personally I loved it, Predator was of course totally awesome, the aliens were scary, and people died in bloody, gorey fashions... The one thing I didn't like was the killing of children, but let's face it... Monsters don't discriminate, they're evil and therefore kill everything. Rating for AVP R: 91-10 with ten being the highest.

I'de give it a 5-10 on a legitimate movie scale, as it had, essentially, no viable plot, and I nearly choked on the huge block of cheesy camp that was the final line spoken by the ex-military woman (The monsters are gone now), but we must remember what we're watching:
Al|en vs. Preador: Reqiuem
Mindless killing (check) Wierd Face-Humping (Check x2, for facehuggers, and wierd predalien face hump on the pregnant women) Al|ens that you can actually see (check) Predators that dont die after their first five minutes of screen time (check) Plasma Pistol (Check) Incredibly campy dialogue (Check) Blood Everywhere! (check) "Get to the chopper!" (check) Nukes (Check) Pregnant woman getting chest-busted x50 (check) Predal|en (Check) Cool blue melty stuff (Check) Big shuriken of doom (check) Boobies! (check) Preadtor homeworld or colony (check) Weiland/Utani Referance (check) Predator head less monsterously large (check)
The list goes on.
Suffice to say, I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the first AvP movie, as predators (my favorite) didn't blow severe chunks. The movie also demonstrated much more cinematic craftsmanship, and usage of grusome quantities of awesome.
On the "Lets kill shit" scale, I give it a 10-10.
If you havent seen it, dont, buy it when it comes out on DvD, it'll only be like 11 bucks.

I'd like to go see it again myself, I really enjoyed it, if only because of the Predator screen time... I liked the first AVP, but have to admit it would have been better had their been more blood, guts, senseless killing, all the things that made the Predator and Alien movies what they are. It was like the kiddie version of AVP. However, with AvP: Requiem (which means death song and a variety of many other dark things along the same subject) was, as Sedo has said, a good 'let's kill shit' movie! Yay for death!
