Through sheer chance, my GF and I ended up getting a private screening of this in London. Now, it may have been the sheer awesomeness of that effecting my judgement, but I came out thinking that this was a brilliant ****ing film.
Yeah. That was a fun comic. A mix of pred history and Navajo Mythology. Good Stuff. Too bad modern hollywood is to full of its own PC Bullshit to make a good movie from a good comic anymore.

I'm hoping they scrap this current story of DNA splicing Predators and mecha-suits and just reboot; go back to Predator roots: An alien(s) from an advanced civilization on a big game hunt. Worked well for Predator, Predator II and Predators.
Not doing a sequel to Predators was a shame, that had potential.
From what I had heard and knowing what I know about Shane Black, I guess it was about what I expected. It basically seemed like he got confused while writing it and stuck a couple Predators into a sequel to The Nice Guys or something. The Nice Guys was actually good, but that tone is completely wrong for a Predator film. And as a result NONE of the "humor" was funny. Had this film been disassociated from the Predator franchise it could have worked much better.
This at least makes me appreciate how much was done right for Predators (2010) even more. Still wish they'd do a follow-up to that.
