The problem facing anybody who enters the Alien and Predator franchise is the expectation of the films’ cult-like following. The Aliens anthology boasts a wealth of significant input, from Ridley Scott, James Cameron and young wipper-snapper David Fincher, and in that sense has a lot to lose (granted, Alien Resurrection and AVP tainted the body of work). The Predator franchise, despite its immense following (myself included), must be perceived as an example of schlock Horror that it clearly is (entertaining nonetheless).
