The true Predators sequel

Unlike Alien (The Director's Cut), which had a great sequel in Cameron's Aliens (Two-Disc Collector's Edition), Predator 2 was a flop and an insult to Schwarzenegger's Predator. The more recent predator movies, like Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem, were total garbage.

Thus, it was nice to see Predators captured some of the magic of the original. Sure, it doesn't take many risks and pretty much copies the same recipe as the original, from who dies when and the finale. However, that's certainly better than taking bad risks. Fortunately, there are a few cool new twists.

The acting is generally pretty decent. Laurence Fishburne was the only one who seemed really out of place - his psychophrenia just wasn't believable. But Adrien Brody, despite not being nearly as buff as Arnold, really fit the role of the tough super commando.

Predators doesn't quite exceed the original, but it is certainly a worthy sequel.

What did you think of this review?

I agree! This was quite fun to watch and I loved the tributes to the original. That one with Glover was just a stopover LOL! Nice write up!
