I find Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem to be a... fine enough slasher/ monster movie. I love the creature designs (when you can see them), the kills, and the "great value" characters of not-Dutch, not-Ripley, and not-Newt are passable enough.

I also, unironically love Speed Racer, despite it looking and feeling like a video game for 80% of the runtime, because the anime was like that!

I will most certainly be laughed out of this subreddit for this, but for me it's either Speed Racer or Aliens vs Predator: Requiem.

Speed Racer, despite being edited like the filmmakers were having a stroke and having so much greenscreen that it feels I should grab my Playstation controller since it looks like a game more than a movie at times, still captured the essence of the original anime in my eyes and the final race is still a very, very good anime-ish climax.

AvP:R... is bad. And worse still you can't see like half of it due to the piss poor lighting, but... like, I enjoyed the slasher aspects of it, adored the Yautja (Wolf) for how badass he was, the PredAlien was horrifying as it should be, and discount Dutch, Ripley and Newt did a fine enough job with what little they were given. Also, using new characters rather than killing off franchise favorites offscreen like Alien3 or Covenant did makes me respect it just a little bit. Some good gore too, when you can see it that is.
