Did anyone else go see The Predator?

[BOBO]

I thought it was pretty entertaining overall.  There were a few things that I disliked about it but it was definitely entertaining and there were many times where the whole audience erupted with laughter.

The original came out when I was in grade school and was probably my favorite movie when I was in elementary school back in the 80s.

Anyone else see it yet?

No... sequels, in my experience do not live up to the first

but....

What about special effects and current year and stuff?

I quite liked the prequel they made of The Thing for those reason-ish reasons.

There's nothing stopping a sequel from being good (Aliens, T2 and etc) other than the makers putting out crap.  For every Aliens there's 50 AvPs, unfortunately.  I was mildly hopeful for The Predator, but I'm not tremendously surprised it's not stellar.

Effects cannot improve a garbage script or acting.

If Arnnie is not there to yell, "GET TO DA CHOPPA!" then you can count me out.
