A group of hardened killers are hunted on an alien planet in producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal's entry into the popular sci-fi action franchise.

Antal 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.

It has fun showing us that humans can, indeed, be the most dangerous game.

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.

I couldn't get past Brody as an action hero, and I didn't jump from my seat once. I wanted at least that much from a film that spent so much money on bullets and bazookas and bombs and bombast.

Adrien Brody se toliko nabildao da je potpuno uvjerljiv kao mrcina koju biste voljeli imati na svojoj strani ako provod u narodnjačkom klubu krene po zlu

If Predators had plunged deeper into the bloodsport-honour-hunting, kill-or-be-killed psyche of both sides, this could've been a truly jolting reboot.

This film deserves more praise than I ever expected to lavish on a "Predator" movie.

Audience Reviews for Predators

Who is the real predator? This sequel follows our world's finest killers being dropped onto a game reserve. The problem is that they're the game. Adrian Brody gives a solid perormance, as usual. And, once again Topher Grace appears as a comical psycho. This movie brings back that spark from the first Predator film.

After the very disappointing Predator 2, I had some concern when a new predator film was announced. However, after finally watching it,I felt not fully satisfied,but found a far more deserved sequel to the orginal monster masterpiece. Firstly, looking at the positives; Adrien Brody, who plays as Royce, a mercenary
