Difficult as it is to make a decent prequel to classic summer blockbusters as were "Predator" and "Predator 2" movies, it's just unthinkable how low this prequel has fallen. If you think AVP2 was the worst installment in the Predator series, think again.
Predators, directed by unknown director Nimrod Antal, is a film with little ambition, even less pretension, that rips off scenes and dialogs from other movies of the genre, without being able to produce any memorable quotes of its own. If you've seen the trailer, I'll let you know that the dialogs and plot won't go deeper than that. How come no script writer is able to write a decent script? or is it that Robert Rodriguez think we're all dumb and stupid, and just enjoy watching blood and gore and silly drama? Sure, RR thinks enjoyment and intelligence are incompatible, but what is true for him doesn't mean it has to be the same for the rest of us.
Having come to this point, little can be said for the actors, quite lost in all this non-sense, and director, who just fitted the job as well as he could. Adrien Brody as the lead actor was, in my humble opinion, a nice surprise, still, he won't be remembered for his performance on this film.
No plot nor twist, bad dialogs, bad characterization, average acting and directing, this movie has still got some entertainment value if you don't mind for the rest. There are some good action sequences and thrilling scenes, but don't except them to be breathtaking or out of the ordinary.
Little remark: In the trailer you get to see Adrien Brody been targeted by multiple Predators with red spots pointing at his chest. Don't fall for this one because it doesn't happen in the movie. How lame. Shame on you Robert Rodriguez.
