Totally predictable story lines and vague re-hashed sub-plots. Unimaginative dialogue, boring characters. It really was just a re-write of the original 3 or 4 (I forget how many there's been) with identical scenarios.

The critters were really well done so cheers to the special effects people who were definitely the only people who actually worked on this film. The rest of the entire cast & crew, from the actors, producers and writers, just phoned the whole thing allllllll in.

But hey, that's Hollywood. Never take a chance on something new, innovative and daring. Just stick to the same old predictable and effective story lines, ka-ching.

On Edit, ok seriously? Through a jungle in a white suit AND white high heeled shoes and not a smudge in sight? Come on people! And the Channing Tatum look-a-like? Pfffffft. No imagination. Ok, now I'm more pissed off at this film than at the recent debacle of the Planet of the Apes re-hashing. I just hate predictability, I really do. I want surprise, and imagination and glory and harrow. Today's writers just really suck, clearly under the lame ass direction of the studios. Meh, Hollywood ain't what it used to be. I'll stop ranting now, lol.

So glad I didn't pay to see it!
