The original predators (Predator & Predator 2) are the only serious contenders here, as I barely even consider the pathetic creatures from AVP as predators at all.
The original predator is the ultimate, the true definition of the creature, & in my opinion is still the best after all these years. It had a unique style about it that is still completely unmatched, along with many of its unforgettable characteristics.
The second predator though was still a great adaptation of the creature, & it definitely holds its own with the original, it brought its own distinct characteristics to the table, along with some fantastic new weapons & gear.
Both original predators are the true epitome of what the yautja are & indeed how they should be portrayed, which was one of the main reasons why I hated AVP, they tried to change them too much to simply appear bigger & more menacing, although in fact they did the exact opposite.
