Predators is - as the title says - a sequel to Predator with more than one of them. A group of the toughest killers are left in a jungle and have to survive against a group of predators. They are all from military or criminal backgrounds so they should give the predators a run for their money.

Predators plays with the same aspects as the original and really just keeps it that. The only real variation is that there are more of them. Actually, Predators takes a lot from it's older sibling. Some characters seem to do the same thing and weapons look incredibly familiar. Lines are cut and pasted into this word from word.

However, the film is definitely fun. The deaths of  characters one by one is enjoyable in any film and this does not go against the crowd. The predators are cool and the atmosphere makes the characters seem alone.

This is not Aliens. It does not add anything new and impressive to the franchise. It is more for the fans. It has however brought it back from death and hope to see a new Predator film in the coming years.

****Good
