Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com This movie doesn't really know how to be its own film. Rated: C- Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online No over-the-top acting, not a really compelling plotline, but entertaining yet. Rated: B- Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Matt Singer IFC.com The real enemy is too much exposition. Rated: C Feb 16, 2011 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Predators tries but cannot match the unpredictable, quiet, and stalking suspense with the jungle trees that the original had. Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Predators is not a bad film, but at the same time it is not a very good one. Its greatest crime is that it is entirely superficial. Rated: 6/10 Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review As guilty a pleasure as they come, Predators proves to be an entertaining sci-fi actioner that’s capably directed and well-acted by an impressive ensemble.

Jordy M From the very beginning, Predators manages to grab the viewer’s attention thanks to an unexpectedly solid cast and an immersive atmosphere. Discovering actors like Adrien Brody and Danny Trejo is a pleasant surprise—especially if you go in knowing little about the cast. As the film unfolds, it reveals an intriguing premise that blends science fiction, action, and suspense, all set in a jungle environment that echoes the original 1987 film, but with its own twist. Visually, although some of the special effects may feel outdated for a 2010 production, the overall aesthetic is dark, overcast, and color-corrected to emphasize the lush greens of the jungle. The jungle itself functions almost as a character—mysterious, enclosing, and ideal for the predator-prey dynamic that the plot presents. One of the film’s strengths is its return to suspense as a narrative tool, including clever traps, strange creatures, and group dynamics that build tension. Some visual compositions also stand out, such as group shots and scenes that creatively use the vertical space of the environment. Throughout the story, the film introduces several characters with potential, though not all are fully developed. Some raise intrigue through hidden motives, while others feel oddly out of place or make questionable choices. Still, a few characters have memorable moments that enrich the narrative. The movie also introduces new revelations that expand the Predator universe and add complexity—though not all of them are fully explored. The pacing remains swift, with consistent action scenes and moments of cleverness that harken back to the classic survival formula. All in all, Predators isn’t a masterpiece nor does it reinvent the genre, but it delivers a solid, entertaining experience consistent with what you’d expect from this kind of action-sci-fi film. Its main strength lies in the creativity of its premise, the visual setting, and the ongoing tension of who will survive. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Matt K I am not going to lie but you had to watch the first movie to understand it. But I loved the plot twists. Great movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review CaptainBoulder T Fun watch but nowhere near perfect feels slow at times but the Predators make up for it Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Brett M Overall, I liked this movie. I definitely don't think it is the best film in the franchise but there were some cool aspects to the movie that I enjoyed. *Spoilers* First, I like how they revert back to the original jungle theme that was in the original Predator movie. I also thought it was really cool how each of the people dropped into the jungle was some kind of a killer. I also liked the concept of the people being captured and released on a planet as a form of game. Overall, the action in the movie was pretty good! Unfortunately, I think this is an issue with a lot of the predator films. It does take some time to get going. There have been several predator movies. It's not a surprise anymore. The action could have started sooner. I was also super excited to see Laurence Fishburne in the movie. Unfortunately, his character was totally lame. They should have made him a badass predator killer instead of a nut job. After the debacle with Laurence Fishburnes character, the movie really speeds up and there is a lot of great action and the end fight scene is pretty satisfying. However, I didn't really like the ending. It felt unfinished. I am not sure if they were planning a sequel, but it could have ended better. Overall, it is a C+ of a movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Jackson M. The movie Predators is in my top 3 predator movies. It’s just a fun predator movie that has multiple predators. It feels like 2024 again. Especially the predator with the teeth at the bottom of the mask. Literally a delicious design for a leader predator. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review The 0 I don't know what the hate is all about with this film this was a very entertaining film for the Predator franchise. I think this was one of the better sequel Predator films. Very suspenseful and keeps you on your feet. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
