** This film's design for the new Predators has been met with varied reactions. In particular, the appearance of the Berserker Predator's face looks kind of ridiculous to some (its eyes are a little too far apart and its mouth claws are a bit too massive) and impressive and scary to others (unlike other Predators from previous films, you can read in its eyes that this being is ''evil'').
** The fact that the Berserker's mask officially has a Xenomorph chin grafted onto it turns the franchise into another iteration of ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator'', which has both its fans and detractors. Some believe it is cool and appropriate to bring back the best of the franchise for this movie, while others (particularly people who didn't like ''Film/AVPAlienVsPredator'', which are not few) think it would have been better to leave the good ol' Aliens out this time.

** Granted, nobody had questioned Adrien Brody's acting chops - what with him being the youngest person to ever win an Oscar for Best Actor - but he doesn't exactly scream "action hero." And yet, here we are.

* MoneyMakingShot: Royce covered in Predator lasers in the trailer. Too bad that it ended up being an example of NeverTrustATrailer.

** The characters besides Royce, Isabelle, Edwin and Stans don't get much development or notable interactions with each other. Indeed most conversations involve one of the 4 and never the others speaking amongst themselves.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: According to Noland, and as seen earlier in the film, the Predators use the planet as a game preserve not just for humans, but also for dangerous aliens all over the galaxy. It would've been really interesting to see scenes of the Predators hunting other creatures but sadly we never get it.

own! It's generally agreed by fans upon that Noland could've been used far better than he was.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* CriticalResearchFailure: Not in the film itself, but in the Falconer Predator's NECA action figure description, it mentions that it is highly skilled in engineering and that it built its drone "using the technology of the Yautja augmented by the technology of Xenomorphs". It should be noted that Xenomorphs are bestial creatures that have no culture or technology. It might mean that it created the thing using materials extracted from the Xenomorphs, like their tough chitin or acidic blood, but the text is quite badly phrased if that's the case.
