Are you aware that [Predators] is getting decent reviews?

There were definitely a few dogs hanging around the Predators in one of the shots of all the Preds posing together in their camp. There still could have been other, untamed dogs running about the planet, though.
Glad I wasn't the only person who saw that.
Are they meant to have both an endo- and an exo- skeleton?
Right but then why introduce the idea of a blood feud in the first place? I'm saying it's better to go in one direction or the other rather than doing it all half-assed. Why were they hunting the other predator? Were there others? It's never shown or explained. If that's how they're going to play it, might as well have just had three classic predators as the main antagonists and left out the super predator angle altogether.

Again, it sets up the entire climax of the movie. It not only provides the characters with a clear goal to try and attain to move the plot forward, it gives you a little bit of what you wanted from the set up to begin with: an onscreen fight between two Predators. On top of all that, it's an attempt to introduce something new to what little backstory the aliens have without going all out and explaining their history and culture. These things love killing so much that they'll hunt variants of themselves, enough to (presumably) kidnap them and drop them off at a terraformed game preserve.
edit: I feel kind of weird defending this movie when I only thought 2/3rds of it was really good, and the thing as a whole was certainly not as good as the original, which it leans on for much of its appeal. Still, with all the things that were off about the movie, I feel that a lot of this stuff we're discussing isn't an issue.
Had the "Blood feud" been introduced earlier in the film or had any other bearing on the plot besides being a device needed to bring about some easy closure to the finale, I'd agree with you. But it wasn't, so I can't.
It was good if you were looking for popcorn action flick. Me and my friends liked it.
But WTF was the piranhas trailer about? I hope it was a joke, because we were talking about bad 80's horror movies and piranha and frogs came up.

It's not MEANT to be scary and it looks to me to be intentionally funny (in an eight legged freaks way).
Made me say What The Fuck out loud.

Well great thanks for spoiling predator 4.
I never asked for this!
Do...do I just give you my ticket money now or do I got to wait?

1 huge plasma caster with a tiny predator standing on it's shoulder.
Also this film was good mindless fun, could have been a bit more Predator action in the mid but still decent.
That scene was created specifically for the trailer, and the film was never meant to have more than the three. There's a screen cap a while back that shows that shot compared to the film, and it's clear in still frame that all the sights were photoshopped in after the fact, except for the one that was actually there. It was just a quick and easy way to convey in the trailer the severity of the situation as well as the fact that they were dealing with more than a single Predator.
