Predators

It only took twenty-three years, but they finally made a decent sequel to Predator. Predators goes out of its way to make you remember just how awesome the first Predator movie was by recycling some of the original film's score and by putting the Predators back in a jungle setting. Despite the occasional pause for some exposition, the movie keeps up a good pace, moving from one action scene to the next. The special effects are good, with lots of 'splosions and minimal crappy CGI. The performances from the human characters are also uniformly good, even That '70s Show's Topher Grace (no, really).

Rating: 87%

Saw it last night and agree wholeheartedly. Everything in this movie was gleefully over the top and dammit, that is as it should be. I could have done without the random character introspection, but good action and Adrien Broody looked fn incredible even if he did use Christian Bale's Batman voice.

You liked The A Team. I'm skeptical.
