Predator was a sci-fi cinema classic.

So after the tedious AvP movies, can the franchise regain its teeth with NimrA3d Antal’s Predators?

As aPredatorfan, I only have memories of the classic 1987 original to cling onto.

Im in a holding pen now, deep in the bowels of a Central London cinema.

Predators is mere minutes away, and still the tension mounts.

Can they possibly deliver the sequel toPredatorits fans truly deserve?

Last month, I pored over every scene of Antals last project,Armored, for evidence of greatness.

Were being ushered into the cinema now.

Ominously, our phones are taken and stored neatly in numbered plastic bags.


All too quickly,Predatorsis over, and now Im seated on the midnight train home.

For producer Rodriguez,Predatorsis the fruit of a 16-year-old labour of love, and it shows.

And then Laurence Fishburne shows up, and all bets are off.
