I kinda liked it, mainly because it once again showed the Predator culture as having a sense of honor. The respect for a worthy adversary shown in the original Predator movie when the Hunter chooses to fight Ah-nuld hand to hand at the end, and in Predator 2 when the rest of the hunting party awards Danny Glover's character a trophy for defeating the Hunter, in this case goes even further as the last surviving Hunter actually forms an alliance with the last surviving human.<br><br>On the other hand, the overall kill ratio seemed off -- the Hunters were getting their armored butts kicked (even the one survivor had an Alien embryo in him), and the speed at which Aliens gestated and matured was awfully fast. Oh, well -- maybe the Predators had made some genetic modifications to the captive Queen.<br><br>(I can come up with an explanation for just about anything. viz. my responses to critiques of my stories!)<br><br>Robert M.
