Hmm Edward Cullen vs a predator. I would love to see that to see him get his twinkling ass blown to bits.
Sorry for the quoting of the review.

STROPPY teenage vampires not grabbing you?
Take heart, brother. Cos next week sees the release of a movie that's so far from Twilight, it might as well be 90 minutes of a machine gun-toting alien punching R-Patz in the face.
Predators. It's not a 'reboot', or a 'reimagining', of the 1980s, Arnie-starring, cult classic, man-versus-monster pic.
It's more like the ultimate work of fan-fiction.
But masterminded by Robert Rodriguez...who's produced something that holds up not only as fan-service, but as a worthy sequel in its own right.
Along with director Nimrod Antal, RobRod has resurrected a 20-year-old creature feature (unless you count the Alien Vs Predator films...which I don't) and made it shine again in all its dreadlocked, mandible-thrashing glory.
Adrien Brody - yeah, the same guy who won an Oscar for The Pianist - is BRILLIANT playing against type as a musclebound merc who wakes up strapped to a parachute, hurtling towards a jungle.
On the ground, he meets a rag-tag bunch of bad guys - including a sniper (Alice Braga), a serial killer (Walton Goggins), a drug gang heavy (Danny Trejo) and a Yakuza assassin (Louis Ozawa Changchien) - but none of whom know why they've been put there.
Although after a few nasty close encounters, they quickly work it out. As the Earth's foremost predators, they've been chosen to be hunted. By the biggest predator there is. A predator called...a Predator.
Thankfully, the film resists the urge to get the Predators on-screen quickly - and spends a decent amount of time introducing the various scumbags who are about to be killed for your amusement.
And when they DO arrive, Rodriguez has opted for old-fashioned rubber body suits and creature effects where possible. (CGI's used sparingly, and only where needed.)
The pacing's ace, too. There's a late introduction of a new human that keeps things spicy (long-term survivor Laurence Fishburne - judging by that spare tyre, the foraging's pretty good in this jungle), a beautifully-staged samurai sword battle in a field of long grass, and a majestic ending, where Brody goes 'a bit Apocalypse Now'.
With Predators, Rodriguez and Antal have made something old-fashioned, in the best possible way. They just GET what made the original such a hoot - and by and large, have reproduced the same thrills here. This movie sets action film-making back two decades. And hooray for that. "
BUT
I think alittle bit of pee came out at another review which praises the film so highly. Cant help but feel very very hopeful and excited now.

Yeah well it's been since what 93, 94 since PREDATOR 2 was released? It's an understatement to say Pred fans are excited. Hard to find the right words to explain the emotion.
Booking my tickets tommorow,Going with one of my best buds from back in the day (We used to watch Predator on VHS together)
Can't believe how stoked I am for this film to arrive,It's genuinely been a VERY long time since I was this excited about a film,I think it's great that we've got this board to express it on,And great to be among such like minded folks
Esdain# I know what you mean about your mates,a couple of the guys I work with are starting to groan at the 'daily updates' however there's a good number there who are Pred heads too....................So we're arranging a Predators Viewing and BEER night
Roll on Thursday
