- Dragan Antulov @ Draxblog VI [Croatian]
- Caio Bogoni @ Cine Grandiose [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Different from the previous entries, which is far from being a fatal issue in this new Predator film.
- Alex Brannan @ CineFiles Reviews
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: a muddle of a script that seems to have been constructed from the cinematic equivalent of baling wire and chewing gum. The cut-rate, generic chewing gum. The kind that doesn’t really hold its snap.
- Van Connor @ Movie Marker
- Excerpt: The Predator is the worst movie to ever feature a Predator. But it’s still more enjoyable than Alien vs. Predator: Requiem.
- Blake Crane @ Film Racket
- Excerpt: The Predator spends too much of its time hunting for ways to bring several uninteresting plot strings together and not nearly enough indulging in its throwback action swagger.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: The film is a big, weird, sloppy mess, but it’s a fun mess, assuming you’re attuned to Shane Black’s particular sense of humor.
- Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered
- Excerpt: The Predator guts and slashes its way to gory sci-fi mediocrity, failed by abysmal pacing that loses characters, subplots, and interest along the way.
- M. Enois Duarte @ High-Def Digest
- Excerpt: As the latest entry in the series written and directed by Shane Black, The Predator crash lands with a spectacular dud instead of reigniting a fiery enthusiasm for the franchise, a massive misfire that’s ultimately sleep-inducing and a chore to sit through.
- Vadim Grigoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
- Roderick Heath @ This Island Rod
- Excerpt: Black’s delight in the gallows’ humour of both soldiers and families is the connecting thread here, exploring the way both groups are defined by a mixture of indulgence and tedium, the affectation of brusque discourtesy and an entirely earnest openness to each-other’s problems and sense of mutual care.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Garbage. A bad excuse for a movie, even for the pulpy disposable popcorn nonsense it wants to be. Incoherent and illogical, cheap and shoddy. Wannabe sci-fi action horror that can’t pull off any of it.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Shane Black exchanges Ahhnold, suspense, and horror for an embarrassing mess. The goofy family drama, the busload of psych cases that could, and Olivia Munn as an ass-kicking evolutionary biologist may make you feel shame for ever liking the original.
- [New] | Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: It’s fun in spurts and has the vibe of something made back in the late-’80s or early-’90s, but give us 2010’s moody, tense, exciting sequel “Predators” any day.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: It’s entertaining, but nothing particularly special.
- Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
- Excerpt: The Predator is a goofy, gory, muddy mess that makes less and less visual and narrative sense as it races to its nonsense conclusion. That Sterling K. Brown and Olivia Munn though.
- Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: I’ll call it a missed opportunity since the stuff you come to see a Predator movie for is all here. Black has [simply] never seemed like someone who needed cheap tricks to earn an honest smile.
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Prey tell.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Eddie Pasa @ Gunaxin
- Excerpt: The Predator feels like it’s dragging us along with it and daring us to keep up; it’s brutish, loud, and incessantly forced, but this might be just what you’re looking for.
- Adam Patterson @ Film Pulse
- Excerpt: Like the super predator, what we’re left with is an 11-foot hybrid monster that probably shouldn’t have attempted this evolution.
- Tusshar Sasi @ Filmy Sasi
- Excerpt: The Predator’ is a film that severely lacks in ambition. It does not contain the adrenaline high of the 1987 version or even the basic splendor of the subsequent inferior editions.
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: No lasting impression but ‘The Predator’ offers plenty of fun to enjoy while it lasts.
