So far, I'm honestly okay with this. Yes, the story style is a departure from P1 and 2, but I'm mostly concerned with the execution. If the Predators in this come off as more bad ass and brutal than what we got in Predators 2010 and AVP, I'll be pretty happy.
I can understand all the expectations though. Anyone wanting a repeat of the first two will probably hate this, unfortunately, but so far it looks fun to me. I'm excited for the lab scenes and to see them in a new dynamic: studied, captured, whatever. That all has a lot of potential for me as a fan.
The teaser was a bit underwhelming but on the bright side there was no forced comedy, no awkward lines in my opinion. At this point I've accepted the story we're getting. I'm just hoping for good pacing, brutal action and no severe facepalm moments or terribly corny throwback lines (but there will probably be a few lol).
