Just watched Predators courtesy of Redbox. If I had to listen to Adrien Brody try and talk like Batman for another 5 minutes, I was going to kill myself. I could not buy into him as a mercenary or hero. Typical Predator gore. The ending had a little surprise. I will admit I knew something was up with Topher Graces' character, but I could not figure out what it was. I will leave that a mystery and not spoil it for others. It was the most interesting part of the movie. Overall, not a good movie. I didn't hate it, but I'm glad I waited for it on Redbox.

Oh GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Own it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I liked it. Not as good as some of the others but enjoyable. Remember what your watching!
Anyway give it a try. Its not all bad. I''ve always been a Predator/Alien fan.
I agree with you. Not all bad, but not the best in the franchise. Maybe with a different hero, I could have enjoyed it more. Adrien Brody was unbearable, and I felt they could have developed Laurence Fishburnes' character more. He was dead before you got to know him.

These movies are sort of interesting in the sense there appears to be a very sophisticated warrior culture in the predator world, which only gets revealed a little at a time. They are some what barbaric but yet smart and ordered. I like the one movie, cant remember which, but the human and the predator teamed up against the alien queen. If they would take the time to write a good script they could be great, as it seems there is a cult following.

They DID - it was called 'Aliens vs Predator', and it was a four part graphic novel made by Dark Horse It was GOOD (the desert planet one). Also had a black and white part before it which was also very good...
