You must mean, the mandate was to REBOOT the franchise, right?
I mean, if I had never SEEN Predator, I woulda thought this was the coolest movie ever. Is that the intention? To snag peeps who don't watch those OLD pre-CGI junky films?
ETA: whoah, gross is over 126mill now... I guess that says it.

Uh... cuz bare chested action heroes and throw-back lines (like in the classic Predator 2) are uncommon....?
And the intention was to rebuild interest in a series that had completely killed off any public good will with those awful AvP movies. And it worked. Sorry.

I'll always have Ahnult & Danny & Kevin.
The next generation has all the CGI goodness & expanded visual possibilities.
It's the way of things.

Don't get me wrong. I didn't love this one. The first one is the only one I really consider worth a damn. I just found this one less bad than the last couple.

Now, I'm all FOR giving nods to previous films, but after they discover they're not on Earth, the movie did little more than degenerate into a slightly higher-tek remake of the first one.
