PREDATORS was already pretty boring (and stupid). That's what modern movies are, postmodern crap, copying old stuff and adding some lame references.
Predators was a C+ film. Now while the film wasn't an AVP or a Predator 2, Rodriguez still did a very subpar job, in my opinion.
When the inevitable reboot comes along within the next five years (Prometheus could absolutely spark re-interest in the Predator franchise), I don't want a guy like Robert at the helm. I honestly believe he can't do a good Sci-Fi/Horror/Action movie.
The concept was great, but the story was ****.

I absolutely agree. I liked the concept but the execution was lacklustre. I think nothing will touch the first Predator film with Arnold - someone who I believed could outlast and beat a Predator. If you're copying all the elements from the original why bother? Have the spirit, sure. But do something completely different, and if you can't don't.Very much. Predators had a very simple but very effective concept, but it managed to squander its potential at every turn.
Wait, are they inferring on a gladiator type thing for the sequel? Because that could be cool if done right. In a way I kind of want to see what happens with Royce and Isabelle. Them encountering other survivors.
I liked the film too, but I haven't seen it seen it was in theaters, which is telling. I also hated the missed opportunity with the captured Predator dude. He could have been the 'lesser of the two evils' Predator who joins the humans, but nope.
Predators/Expendables would be my dream sequel
