to the realist, I have to agree with just about all of your points, however I still will watch and buy anything predator. The pics released earlier made the predator heads look even bigger, and I was getting nervous. This does look like a decent movie. Lets just face it, they will never make a predator movie that can stand alone beside the original. Just as the new star wars movies with all their better technology just cant compare to the first three. I was hoping that Lawrence Fishburne would change his appearence somewhat, like with dreds and a beard, how does he keep clean shaven like that and short hair since the vietnam era?!! I'm just glad it looks better than I thought it would and the critics are already saying it looks great instead of saying we didnt need this movie!
