'Predators' movie review

You can read my review here.









Pros

- The movie does a great job of building up tension, even in regards to plot points that you may already know ahead of time. It really pulls you in and makes the viewing experience that much more entertaining.

- The cast all do a good job with their characters.  Even actors who seem out of place like Brody and Grace hold their own as their respective characters.

- We're given a deeper look at the Predator's culture and see them operate in a similar capacity while changing up enough that it doesn't feel like a rehash.

- Fantastic action sequences.


Cons

- Few of the characters are actually named, forcing you to mentally fall back on archetypal descriptions.

- Needed more Danny Trejo


Overall

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.  It delivered exactly what I had hoped it would.  It actually captures the spirit of the original while also doing it's own thing.  If you liked the first movie, this one actually manages to live up to that standard.
