No it wasn't that bad but if you grew up in the eighties and you love certain films (or any other era for that matter) then your expectations are high for a sequel that has a lot of praise and then are let down when all that you get is some admittedly cooler looking predators and not much else.
If I had never seen a Predator film then I would have liked it a lot more but I must have seen the original at least a dozen times so if Robert Rodriguez and lot's of fanfare are attached, then I want my arse blown off with something that I haven't seen before.
Hell, even the pretty poor second sequel set in motion the Aliens as sport angle when we were inside the predators spaceship.
The sense of camaraderie of the first film was sorely missing and if those beefcakes couldn't last against a predator what hope has a wimp, a sorely underused Danny Trejo, a typical hard nose female character and the man with the biggest nose in Hollywood have? Although Brody at least beefed up a little.
