After feeling the P2 was such a let down I thought could it get any better? well yes, if you take it for what is...you have the detail from the original film, which makes for familiar viewing, action packed, a good cast (clearly Adrien Brody's character has the grit needed to carry this off) It was never going to fill the shoes from the first one, saying that its not a bad attempt! Pleased it kicked some butt and didn't disappoint!

Let's get it straight - this film is nowhere near as good as the first Predator film. Keeping it straight - it's nowhere near as much fun as the second Predator film (my guilty secret favourite, especially the old woman moment). What it is however, is an undiluted Predator film, fiercely proud of it's original source material and gleefully ignorant of the wasted opportunity that was the AvP films. We get a nice new playground for the Predators to use their wonderful toys in; we get a broad cross-section of stereotypical 'bad-ass' protagonists; we get an unwarranted and unnecessary cameo from Morpheus himself; and we even get some Predator class-wars thrown in. If it sounds like I'm putting the film down, I'm really not - I've been waiting ages for a new Predator (only) film and this doesn't disappoint. Predator films are guilty pleasures (Arnie chewing up the scenery; Danny being too old for this.., etc) and so is this - and very glad I am too! So far as 'third films in a franchise' go, I cant think of too many that are as reverential as this or as much fun to watch and get consumed by. I sincerely hope it's not another 20 years until the next one though..
