I saw this movie in theaters.
Like most other Predator movies, it still doesn't hold up to the original. The first film was a mystery, suspense, action thriller sci-fi and ahead of its time. This movie tries to be an action sci-fi comedy.
And where it does get a few good laughs on some of the jokes, it mostly falls flat.
The writing is nothing special and the visuals are noting unique. The characters seem all the same, and there is very little to be left unexpected.
All that being said, it's not a bad film. It's entertaining and fun. It's just nothing special.
Mistake Status: Caught one while in theaters. I plan to eventually go through the Predator movies for mistakes.

Coyle: Hey, Baxley! If your mom's vagina were a video game, it'd be rated E for everyone.
Trivia: The spears shown in the lab are from Predator 2 and Alien vs Predator.
Question: Spoiler: It's revealed that the first smaller predator was coming to bring a weapon to the humans to fight back against the bigger Predators. If this was the case, then why was it killing people when it first crash landed? It came across a completely different situation going on with soldiers taking out other humans, and it starts killing them, giving Quinn a chance to fight back and steal it's stuff. But why was it killing people to start with if it was bringing us a weapon to help?

Answer: The Predator had landed in the middle of a group of hostile Earth soldiers, who it judged would likely have just shot it immediately. It would have defended itself. And there's also the fact that it could just be for fun because, hey, old habits die hard.
