What's the point of the effects on the predator? If anything it makes him stand out more. So the first one was Terminator. The second one Predator. What's 3 gonna be? Alien? Robocop? Ghostbusters?

Oof! Yeah, it's a stark departure from the original film, but that's not what makes it unwatchable for me. It's the dull, lifeless action, led by a completely uncharismatic bodybuilder... Pyun, how could you do me soo dirty...

This movie is only very loosely connected to the first. Obviously the filmmakers drew a lot of inspiration from the Predator film series.
