Given the name you should be expecting a remake/homage to the original film in a similar vein to Alien to Aliens. In many way it was, just a much less good attempt, that was possibly tried too hard be a homage to the original.*
*Apparently the director said something to the affect of:
"Rodriguez says he hopes to reinvent the series, so that people will remember Predator and Predators, and forget the bad ones".
I enjoyed it though, but I'm very good at managing expectations when it comes to films. I find mediocre films can be a lot more entertaining if you go into watching them with the right frame of mind.
The film was very, very trope heavy. Makes me wish I hadn't read the TV tropes website at times, other than for the usual reason of the feeling you get after you've discovered you've lost an hour or two of you're life to it.
( Some spoilers below the cut. )
