Surprised to see so much hate for this. I had my doubts but Brody was pretty damn good. Even if you don't like it you have to admit it's lightyears above Predator 2 and the AvP movies.
Slightly bemused at the level of dislike for this. It's not a Great Movie, but then neither was Predator. They're in the same ballpark, which (as others have said) is leagues better than Predator 2 or either AvP film.
No matter what, Predators (now plural!) has an insane cast, one that will either ensure you're disappointed with the formulaic script that wastes it, or that the material is somewhat elevated by it. It's a bit of both, truthfully. This one tries to evoke the original, with various "predators" (criminals and military personnel) dropped into an alien jungle, in fact a hunting ground for alien predators. The natural locations are kind of the main advantage, and unlike the previous effort, everything is well lit, even in interior scenes (wow, the bar's gotten pretty low, because that's not a feature, it's merely the lack of a bug). Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne give interesting unhinged performances, but the other unhinged characters are strictly by the numbers. I think they miss a trick too when it comes to introducing a second Predator sub-species, i.e. making one of them female and suggesting some kind of mating ritual at work. Instead, it's just aliens vs. bigger aliens and that's boring. Overall, Predators is fine, but doesn't really escape its formula (nor its apparent need to spawn a sequel that would never come).
Predators has an interesting concept, yet a lackluster follow - through. I like the idea of being on their turf, and the characters are interesting, but Adrian Brody is most definitely no Arnie, especially his take on the "Do it, c'mon kill me!"
I think returning to its roots from the first movie was Rodrigues' intention as well. It's the only movie being referenced to.
I liked it. Entertainment, ftw! :D

Forget the AVP series, forget Predator 2. This is the only movie worthy of being associated with the original Predator.Siskoid

This movie is underrated. This might be better than the original Predator. Looks really good in 4K with HDR as well even though it's upscaled.Coco Loco
utterly woeful."I work better alone" Adrian Brody in his cheesiest accent ever.
