This film was a mess, and easily the most disappointing film of the whole year.

Black's latest addition to the franchise cashes in on high-octane action scenes, comedy, self-referential moments and pathological mapping that draws you into the Loonies' psychology, questions of ability and the mission at hand.

Yet another reminder that the strange alchemy of the progenitor probably can't be replicated. Hawkins is spinning in his jungle grave.

Were the Predators badass? Yes. Were there tons of cool weapons and action that made you excited to be watching an action movie? Yes! Was it a total blast? Yes!
