Predators is not a bad film, but at the same time it is not a very good one. Its greatest crime is that it is entirely superficial.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 13, 2025

As guilty a pleasure as they come, Predators proves to be an entertaining sci-fi actioner that’s capably directed and well-acted by an impressive ensemble.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2023

If you're looking for psychological depth, save your money - what little there is frankly, embarrassingly bad and the characters remain disappointingly shallow, despite their endless drip-feed of personal exposition...

| May 19, 2021

Retains many of the elements that make the series entertaining.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 30, 2020

This movie doesn't really know how to be its own film.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 25, 2020

John Debney's irritatingly intrusive score tries a bit too hard to evoke classic monster flicks but instead evokes Ed Wood.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 20, 2020

I like that the title of this film evokes the simple genius of Aliens before it. I also like that the title can refer to the iconic creatures, or to our cast of characters, or to any one of us at our worst.

Predators has succeeded where so many before it have failed; it's a sequel that honours its origins while breathing exciting new life into a flatlining franchise.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 23, 2019

Director Nimród Antal doesn't get nearly enough credit for how beautiful this film is.

Does Predators live up to the Summer movie expectation of violence, big booms and special effects? I'm gonna say "almost."

| Mar 8, 2019

Comfortably sits just ahead of the second [Predator], and miles ahead of the two Alien crossovers.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 2, 2019

An intelligent film which alludes to the original without simply reproducing the same story, and Antal's astute direction keeps you guessing right to the final frame.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2018

I found Predators to be amusing as hell, but then, I was in just the right mood for it.

| Oct 30, 2018

Though too reverent of the original Predator, this is a respectable entry into the franchise regardless.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 13, 2018

A classy B-movie, paying homage to masters (and masterpieces) of the genre without ever taking itself too seriously.

| May 23, 2018

Nimród Antal is a B-film classicist...whose skills have little to do with "delivering the goods" and a lot to do with bluntly, crisply delineating characters, actions, relationships and group dynamics.

| Nov 19, 2017

No over-the-top acting, not a really compelling plotline, but entertaining yet.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 11, 2017

Innocent but skillful.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 22, 2014

If Aliens featured just a handful of xenomorphs, wouldn't you have been disappointed?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 18, 2014

A decent cast, great effects and costumes and satisfying blood and gore make this a pretty decent horror remake, which you don't find too often.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 9, 2013
