Dunno if you've gotten a reply, but...
The jungle thing with Predator has nothing to do with this. Those are actual hunters, lone Predators, coming to hunt. In fact, I'd go as far as saying the same Predator comes each time, Earth is like his hunting ground. In AvP, young Predators came to become real Hunters. The young ones and the other have nothing to do with each other.
As for the building thing, they did all that much much longer ago than you must think. Once they we're done, they left and only THEN did they start coming back (maybe) to hunt humans. Cruel? Yes, but hell, these are fictional outerspace characters. 😐
#1 summer movie disappointment of 2004. I was really looking forward to this one. I'll never forget the groan from the audience at the end. It was like a collective "What the hell was that?". The writers probably spent a whole fifteen minutes on the story. Oh well, I guess we'll get'em next time on the "Classic Movie Team-ups".
