EmpireKim Newman
A solidly okay Saturday night effort, but unambitious considering the talent involved. Maybe Rodriguez should direct Predator Resurrection, but get a science fiction writer to script it. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyNick Pinkerton
Doing The Most Dangerous Game is, for action directors, what covering "Satisfaction" is to bar bands; if you hit most of the notes, it'll do. Read full review

Time OutDavid Fear
The odor of musty, late-’80s nostalgia may still hover around this already threadbare brand, but you simply don’t see movies that leave both the curious and the fans who truly care this viscerally satisfied anymore. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
The movie is mostly about our nasty heroes being attacked by terrifying antagonists in incomprehensible muddles of lightning-fast special effects. It lacks the quiet suspense of the first “Predator,” and please don't even mention the “Alien vs. Predator” pictures, which lacked the subtlety of “Mothra vs. Godzilla.” Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill Goodykoontz
A pretty good action movie for about 45 minutes. Unfortunately, it lasts 106. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
Predators, plural, starts well and ends poorly, and in the middle it's in the middle. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
Very much bearing the creative imprint of Robert Rodriguez, but directed by Nimrod Antal, the new edition, in its best moments, is an unabashed B-movie that plays like a jacked-up "Twilight Zone" with award-winning actors delivering the pulp-infused dialogue. Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
Little happens that you don't see coming, down to which cast members will get picked off and in what order. It's a dumb action movie in a summer full of dumb movies, and yet it's always entertaining. And you won't really miss Arnold at all. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
The Predator series needed a shot of vitality, not another workmanlike go-around. SSDP: Same shit, different planet. Read full review

VarietyDennis Harvey
Perfs are adequate in a movie lacking much use for better ones, though Brody disappoints by using the stock sotto voce rasp of the uber-macho action hero who really, really means business. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerTirdad Derakhshani
A preposterous, if admittedly fun, exercise in sci-fi/horror mayhem. Read full review

PremiereNick Starkey
Predators biggest failing is that it manages to make its sci-fi violence absurdly boring. Read full review

Orlando SentinelRoger Moore
All these years after Predator, these decades past the classic film, "Most Dangerous Game," that inspired this genre, it’s good to see the idea of the hunter becoming the hunted still gets the blood racing. Read full review

Chicago ReaderCliff Doerksen
The dialogue is dumber than dirt, and the plot crumbles at the halfway mark, but the movie does what a loud summer blockbuster should, which is loudly bust blocks. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyChris Nashawaty
As a fan of Schwarzenegger's macho, heart-of-darkness original, it gives me no pleasure to say that Predators is an uninspired mess of mediocre action scenes strung together until the final reel. Read full review

NPRJeannette Catsoulis
By anyone's reckoning, Predators is a middling 1980s B movie; too bad this is 2010. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe Neumaier
Predators tries to spice up the hunt-or-be-hunted thesis, but from the get-go, director Nimrod Antal's movie has nowhere to run. Read full review
