Well, I will say right off the bat that you cannot judge the Predator species based on this movie. Their own films are actually awsome- 2 of my favourite 'man in monster suit' films of all time, actually.

And yes, I did notice the startling/annoying similarity between Army Lady and Ms Weaver, but dammit people- that only works if she is actually a hard-ass!

Edit: Wow- my itallics went all in the wrong place then. O_o
