The property itself isn't what made that movie great. Arnold achieving 'Peak Arnold' in a pack of alpha males and fighting a ****ing alien is what made that movie great.
You're not going to recapture that by putting a guy who's about the size of the average american in Camo, handing him a gun and telling Key to crack a few jokes.
I don't understand why studios keep thinking they're going to bring this back.

The first movie had great, interesting characters that were discovering the Predator along with the viewer.
The second movie managed to have another interesting set of characters along with a gritty, city setting. Not as much mystery, but still very good.
They all turn into piles of shit after that. Mystery is gone, no interesting characters. Kill this franchise now.
