PREDATORS, the Robert Rodriguez produced, Nimrod Antal directed film that harkens back the 80's actioniers ultimately fails in it's quest to recapture the magic of the original. The concept is great, go to another planet that acts as a game reserve for the Predators and throw a mix of dangerous people for them to hunt. While trying to catch the magic of the original Predator film this installment tries to mimic too many moments from the original and fails to create it's own memorable moments. It just seems to be another wasted chance in an interesting franchise that doesn't know when to pay homage and when to strike out on it's own. The cast of characters was interesting but there were few moments that made the originals cast of characters memorable. While not a terrible film but it just felt like a hollow re-imagining of the original.
