Now, on to the added footage. Does it make the film much better? No, not really, but it does off a slight improvement in terms characterization and also restores some snippets of trimmed gore and effects footage.
There really isn't anything of great important put back into the movie at all. There are some extensions to various bits and pieces of dialogue and some of the kill scenes go a little bit further and a couple of the battles go on a bit longer but that is about it. Don't go in expecting a different movie, as you're really not going to get one out of this release.
Most of the character development that is added, and keep in mind it is minor, happens in the first half hour or so of the film while the added action and violence is in the last half hour. To this extended version's credit, however, there is an added scene that does do a better job of explaining why the Predators are here in the first place and that fills us in on their ways a little bit more.
