Review
It's been 5 days since I reviewed a good Predator movie, and while I thought this movie was good, it was not great.

Unlike Predator 2, this feels like a Predator sequel, I mean it's not as great as Predator, but I think it's good.

This movie really brings it back to the roots of Predator and does not feel like a cop drama or a forced crossover in any way.

Also, it's got some cool action and it's pretty awesome watching the Super Predator (or whatever it's called) fighting the classic Predator. And Adrien Brody vs. Super Predator is cool.

There was a twist with Topher Grace's character that was just "eh", it turns out that he's a psychopatic murderer back on Earth.

Speaking of Earth, a better twist is that it turns out they were never on Earth in the first place, instead they're on a foreign planet. And they're not the only people there, as they meet Laurence Fishburne, who's been their for years.

Also, the movie ends with Little Richard's Long Tall Sally over the credits as a call back to the original Predator, and it's pretty cool.

I love how the Predators don't just come out killing, as they actually set traps and stay hidden, the feeling of Predator, kinda creepy.

The cast is good in here except for Walton Goggins' character, I thought he was annoying and couldn't wait for him to die (which he does). If they just could've given him a gun. Topher Grace was just ok here, but everyone else was good.

Overall, Predators, while not as good as the original, is still a pretty cool movie that goes back to the roots of Predator.

I'm going to give Predators an 8.5/10.

Also, I'll be seeing The Predator tomorrow, that'll be interesting.
