I feel the same way. I'd rather watch neither film, but if I had to, I'd pick The Predator. I genuinely like the humor in The Predator (the "f**k me in the face with an advark" or whatever it was genuinely got a snort/choke/laugh out of me, and I love Fugitive holding up the thumb). The cast is significantly more impressive and the characters actually interesting.
The Predator is genuinely entertaining until after Fugitive dies too. I like his design and the armor (though I wish they'd have had the red skin scheme we saw in some of NECA's figures).
Just a shame it all falls apart and got butchered along the way. I don't particularly like the leaked earlier draft we got, but there were some interesting concepts buried in this concept for a Predator film.
