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

| Original Score: C- | Sep 25, 2020

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

| Original Score: B- | Sep 11, 2017

The real enemy is too much exposition.

| Original Score: C | Feb 16, 2011

Nowhere near as thoughtful as the original, but between the impressive set design, upgraded enemies, battle sequences and gore, it'll satiate your appetite for Predator action.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2010

A big-budget B-movie made with some A-level flair.

| Original Score: B | Jul 16, 2010

The drive-in -- and all that it entrails -- awaits.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2010

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2010

Antal is a good enough action director that some of the combat is pretty exciting.

Full Review | Jul 12, 2010

At the midpoint... it got more and more confined, claustrophobic and flatter.

Full Review | Jul 12, 2010

Almost a quarter-century after the B-movie that launched an improbable franchise, we get a reboot that simply spins it wheels, content to deliver exactly what most will expect from it and absolutely nothing more.

| Jul 9, 2010

None of this is scary, and nothing makes sense.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 9, 2010

There isn't anything as comically grisly as the exploding head or Carl Weathers' arm removal, both well-remembered moments from the original Predator.

| Jul 9, 2010

Predators needed more predators.

| Original Score: C | Jul 9, 2010

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 9, 2010

Predators mostly just suggests a bunch of grown-up men playing with toys and not bothering to invite the rest of us into their circle.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 9, 2010

Some genre movies simply work out this way: Whatever their intentions or origins they percolate for about an hour. And then they sputter and hope that a promising first half will be enough to get by.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 9, 2010

The dialogue is dumber than dirt, and the plot crumbles at the halfway mark, but the movie does what a loud summer blockbuster should, which is loudly bust blocks.

| Jul 9, 2010

A stylish, lean and, well, familiar outing.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 9, 2010

This chaotic stew of fire, blood, mud and explosives is so devoid of terror and suspense that any metaphorical analysis is rendered moot.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 9, 2010

Predators is good if gory grindhouse fun. It tweaks the conventions of the summer monster movie, even as it observes them.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 9, 2010
