- Quotes
Casey Bracket: [In a lab filled with lab workers, as the Predator is laid out on an examination table] Why do you call it "the Predator"?
Traeger: It's a nickname. You know, the data suggests that it tracks its prey, exploits weaknesses. Seems to- well, enjoy it. Like a game.
Casey Bracket: That's not a predator, that's a sports hunter.
Traeger: Sorry?
Casey Bracket: A predator kills its prey to survive. I mean, what you're describing is more like a bass fisherman.
Traeger: Well, we took a vote. Predator's cooler, right?
[Rest of lab agrees]
Traeger: Fuck yeah.
- Alternate versionsThe Chinese version is heavily censored, and runs about 2 minutes shorter than the US version. It removes nearly all violence and gore, sometimes digitally erasing blood from existing scenes. In addition, nearly all profanity and sexual innuendo is either removed or alternate dialogue is used.

Written by Alan Silvestri
Acting was good, screenplay was good, pacing was good. Story was actually not that bad neither. Unless someone wanted to try and challenge the original in terms of plot, there's not many options that works, this kinda did work.
If you ignore the more crazy fans that like to bash on anything that's not on par with their own opinions, you'll enjoy this film.
People don't seem to understand that rating 5 out of 10 is "watchable but not for me." ratings. Yet there's individuals out there that give perfectly alright movies 2 and 3 stars just because they can't give objective opinions even if their lives depended on it.
But I digress.
The movie was a excellent action movie, a great sci fi movie and a questionable Predator movie. So how should we base the rating then?
7/10 action movie. 7/10 sci fi movie. 5/10 Predator movie.
Final verdict = 6/10
