SCORE:

NOTE:  I have to admit that I was fairly disappointed in Predators having watching the previous films and being an alien/sci-fi film fan.  Though it was a bad film it's still worth watching if you're a Predator fan, besides, who are we kidding?  The previous Predator films weren't exactly top-notch either.
