Oh don't get me wrong, I was never strongly against it. I'm just not in love with it either. They just haven't managed to touch the original face in my opinion. I'd say feral is the most convincing Predator we've had since Predator 2, though.
I like that a lot of the discussion has centered around him as a character. That shows something went right there. With Wolf and Scar/AVP Predators most of the discussion is centered around criticism or defense of the design more than of the characterization. Predator isn't just a mindless monster. It's a character, and each one we've seen has ultimately had an individual personality.
For me the gold standard will always be Greyback and his two minutes of screen time. So much is said with no dialogue. The same is very true of Feral, and I was happy to see they didn't treat him like... Like a Jason Voorhees character. Or the absolute goofiness that was The Predator.
As far as the face specifically goes. I don't know. I don't have strong feelings on it either way, except that it is better looking than Fugitive/Upgrade/Super/Scar.
