The Predator comes off as a bit wimpy in this one.

Rating: 6/10 (16 August 2004)

All in all it was an okay movie, but it should have been much better. It had its moments, but all in all it needed something more. Mainly, it needed more alien vs predator and a lot less unknown gal and gang of merceneries running around pyramid. This movie also makes the predator seem kind of wimpy...I came to this movie mainly to see them cause they have not been featured in a film since 1990, and they have only appeared in two films. They should also be able to take down an alien one on one if you can kill an alien with simple bullets as was seen in many of the alien movies. Here though the aliens can take multiple stab wounds through the chest and body and still fight. We are supposed to believe that the predators hunt these things as a right of passage, but if they were this tough I don't think any of them would have survived. Still though it has some good action and there is one rather nice fight between the two combatants. Still, this movie should have been better...I mean "Freddy vs Jason" was better than this one, at least in their fight you could see what was going on all the time. Here sometimes you just couldn't tell. This one was fairly predictable too as you knew something was going to happen when the predator and lady were standing over the ice and you knew what it was going to be. A plus though for this movie is that I can not believe it got a pg-13 rating. It is a very hard one at that and you can tell it was edited down so there probably will be an R version on dvd. Not that I am going to get it, it was an okay time killer and better than the last movie I saw at the theater, but it should have been a better movie.
