Just caught it, very entertaining. You can't outdo the original's machismo, so the track they took on this was nicely done. Solid well staged action, the Predators haven't looked this good since 87. Chubby, crazy Larry Fishburne, awesome. Really loved Adrien Brody in this, perfect mix of smarts, scrapper and asshole, and he actually does what Arnie doesn't, he throws down with the Megapredator. They've set up a device(the game preserve) that can be used again with more humans, other extraterrestrials, whatever. Do an AVP on this planet with Colonial marines that takes place in the future, the possibilities are endless, have some of the hunted jack a ship and head to the Predator homeworld. Have the classic Predators recruit our baddest asses to help them against the Bully Predators, shit anything's possible now. Christ, this was way better than it had any right to be, and I really enjoy Predator 2 and the goofy fun of the WWE-ness of the AVP films. This is leaps and bounds above all of those. Oh yeah, ancient Samurai sword wielding, silk suit wearing Yakuza enforcer vs MegaPredator shot like a Kurosawa film for the win baby.

"The Gods you worship are steel,
At the altar of rock 'n' roll you kneel.
A slave who forever rocks,
Is chained in the devil's locks,
And slain by the bloody axe I wail!"
