Predators (2010) - 2 stars out of 10
Adrien Brody, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!? There is no reason for an Oscar-winner to sign on for a horror franchise extension, and the final line of the film confirms this. While "Predators" boasted some cool special effects, the story was predictable and only one of the twists impressed me (Topher Grace). My major complaint is the failure to explain HOW they got there. Although it is never clearly stated why the government has sent them there, the dialogue explains that they are all bad people but... why this punishment and how did they get there? I was also bothered by the obvious attempt to tie this film in with the originals through the testimony of Braga, since this film was completely UNRELATED to the originals. The fighting was good and creatures were cool, but the script and the gaps in the plot left me dissatisfied.
P.S. Laurence Fishburne is awesome, as always.
