... do people love to hate this film so much?
Admitted, it's not great.
But it's not dysmally bad, either.
The acting was OK, the musical score pretty good; the plot - well. It's OK.
As for the oft bemoaned behaviours of the guys - I wonder how many genuine Rambos, McGyvers or Arnies in Predator are out there who would have made "all the right choices"? And quite frankly, I found most of them quite relatable, not utterly daft or cringe-worthy ...
As for the mother starting to randomly kill people because some drunk hunters shot her daughter - I personally can't see myself reacting in such a way, but people have done weird things; both in movies and in real life.
