THE PREDATOR

While I wasn't wild about seeing this, I actually had a fun time with it. Shane Black does a great job at making this an homage to the original, while at the same time, allowing this film to stand on its own. The original score is used, it's funny, and references the first 2 films of the franchise. While I wasn't a huge fan of the predator dogs (yes, you read that right), I did understand their purpose. The team of characters seem to work well together, each offering and bringing something to the group. 5.5/10
