Predators may not as brainless as its predecessors

Predators is the latest movie in that mediocre franchise which keeps on going for some inexplicable reason. I can understand the success of the first movie as a summer action movie and perhaps a sequel to cash in on the popularity of the first, but why do we need another one? Let's not even mention the Aliens/Predators cross-over movies.

It turns out that this installment, titled Predators, may not be as brainless as the others. Perhaps, it's because the big star is an actual actor and not an Austrian bodybuilder leading a bunch of wrestlers around on the screen. It seems to be getting more positive than negative ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and the score is mixed on Metacritic, although the fan rating there is through the roof, which might go a long way to explaining why this movie was made.

Roger Ebert, a critic who I always turn to for his opinion, doesn't seem to think very highly of the movie.

If you don't think much of Ebert, or professional critics in general, why not become your own film critic? As this article explains, anyone can do it thanks to the internet.

In fact, you may not even have to leave your house to be a movie critic as studios are considering the idea of distributing first-run movies direct to your home in the future.
