The odor of musty, late-'80s nostalgia may still hover around this already threadbare brand, but you simply don't see movies that leave both the curious and the fans who truly care this viscerally satisfied anymore.
Top CriticAntal is a good enough action director that some of the combat is pretty exciting.
At the midpoint... it got more and more confined, claustrophobic and flatter.
None of this is scary, and nothing makes sense.
There isn't anything as comically grisly as the exploding head or Carl Weathers' arm removal, both well-remembered moments from the original Predator.
Predators needed more predators.
Predators never overcomes the fatal miscasting of Brody as the group's take-charge, tough-guy leader.
Despite forgettable characters, this drama offers enough surprises to satisfy many fans of the long-running series.
A good old-fashioned bad action movie; the type the eighties used to churn out on a regular basis.
[The filmmakers] should go back and revisit the original film to discover what made it good in the first place.
This is Predator karaoke - a film which looks and sounds like the 1987 film, but lacks the zest.
It has no real new thoughts in its head but it updates all the old thoughts into a slimy new package just fine.
The real enemy is too much exposition.
It's nothing to shout from the rooftops about but, given the standard set by the majority of Predator movies, you're unlikely to be disappointed...
Despite pacing problems, Predators is a wildly entertaining picture that bends the franchise back to more captivating quandaries, erasing much of the bad taste left behind by previous installments.
There's something to be said about a movie with a Predator in it that is actually decent, especially after three previous tries in 20-plus years.
Forget Predator 2 and all that Alien Vs Predator rubbish - this is the sequel that the Arnie-starring '80s actioner deserved.
While it's fun guessing who'll be the next to be killed off, it's also difficult to care... This really does feel like game over for the franchise.
Predators lovingly embraces its B-movie roots, but drags along the cinematic trappings, too.
