Predators was good, a little too lean in my opinion (theg could've spent more time with the characters instead of trimming it down so much), but it was still a good continuation of the Predator universe. Shane Black's follow up, The Predator, is a great R action movie. It does a good job of world-building, character development, and keeping you laughing while the action mounts to a crescendo.
The editing is a little jumpy, some strange cutaways and one character's death towards the end that was COMPLETELY botched (I couldn't even tell who died until I counted the survivors in the next scene) - but my expectations were pretty low, and I can honestly say it was way better than I feared or hoped. The cast was hilarious, Olivia Munn got undressed twice (no nudity you pervs) and Holbrook flushed out the one-dimensional hero well.
Don't believe the people who just want to poo poo everyone's fun. If you want a good action flick with lots of gore and one liners, this is one of the better in recent years. And I can't wait for the obvious sequel.
