the thing is.... alien and predator in terms of this type of detail are completely different.
They are in completely different enviroments , they are against different people trained ( or not trained ) in different ways and I don't think aliens are more intelligent than predators or predators are more intelligent than aliens.
AVP simply shown unless your a predator fan and love to see a predator kicking the crap out of an alien queen or an alien fan and love to see the grid alien kicking the crap out of two predators then being killed by a woman who also had time to call it names , we just arn't going to agree on alot of things.
If an alien was in predator 1 or 2 or a predator was in alien , aliens etc and just came in randomly and could ruin the movie completley by killing off the alien(s) or predator(s) we would have a more valid argument.
The aliens and predators in all these movies are as clever as they need to be in order to make the movie work.
Imagine if in Jurassic park we knew the raptors could use the door handles , when the scene where it finally opens the door happens it wouldn't have had any effect.
At that part of the movie they were smart but was that raptor smart when it was picked up by the trex at the end ?.
No !.
Anderson gave a little bit of awesome to both predator and alien fans ..... the strause bros more to the predator fans but hey !. We got two more original movies anyway.
Arguing which species ( if thats what you want to call em
) is more intelligent is pointless. We could maybe come to the conclusion after hours and hours or months and months that the majorety of people on here think that predators are more intelligent ( I'm not saying alien since I prefer them and a super fan could verbally attack me ) but then someone could say something regarding a certain scene with an alien doing something intelligent and it all starts again...
Pointless IMO...
But hey !. Feel free to continue !....
