I only wanted to see this because Elle Fanning is in it, and I thought maybe --- just MAYBE --- that could get me on board with the Predator franchise. AND IT DID.
This was probably my favorite action movie of the year. Sorry to Captain America 4, Thunderbolts, Mission Impossible 27, Jurassic Park 14, Fantastic Four, and Superman.
