So I saw this movie a couple of days ago. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t really good either. With the “new” predators, I would have liked to see more of this supposed blood feud. Maybe even seen how they worked together or communicated. Being that it was a Predator movie, I can’t say I was disappointed.
But when did Adrian Brody become an action star, after King Kong? I have a hard time buying him as a bad-ass. Not because of his acting, but just his build. I guess you can call him “wiry.”
“Predators” – hah. How can they be so lousy fighters. They have all the high tech weapons and technology and power and still bunch of gyus from earth kills them easily. I had a lot of expectation but what a stupid movie. Bad dialogue, bad casting, bad storyline and stupid end. Feels that they really underestimate the audience.
First of all, to many predators for me. One hunter and one captured strung on a pole would have been enough. One pred is a big enough challange for us humans and enough to see the rivalry between the 2 preds. And the captured pred helping brody was way to AvP… thats not good…
I did like Topher’ character, but it was not necessary in this movie. It is a movie about hunting preds not dubbelcrosses and crazy psychos. His character was good, but played out wrong…
The biggest problem was i did not feel the danger. In the first (and even the second) movie, when they walk trough the jungle/streets you feel the predator, you feel the danger. In this one, even at the basecamp of the preds, i did not feel any danger, there was no evil lurking around the corner. They only managed to bring that feeling at the destroyed facility when Topher was cut of the group.
Well the Predator helping Brody was just showing (as it was in AVP) that this breed is not just a bunch of mindless killers. They hunt for sport and have a code of honor. That’s why they hunt on earth and not on a game reserve planet.
The three big ones however are more on the mindless killer side. the still “hunt”, but they cheat a little.
I really enjoyed as a one-time watch. Absolutely no desire to watch it again, but it was an entertaining and intense action movie with fine characters and Brody pawning in the role.
there are many sci/fi action movies that i can just simply watch at all times. predator is one of them. this movie to me is like james lipton meeting paul newman, pacino and brando all in one sitting. i gotta say – i love it. now, when you take the simple, but intimidating concept like the predator why would you set it up so greatly just to ruin it by horrid FX, dull dialogue, and sub-par acting. i went to the theatres so thrilled. so hyped. i seriously had confidence that it would worth seeing. mostly, if not all from rodgriguez being linked to it… but no i totally forgot my faith was in the the guy who invented “spy-kids.” The beginning – good. intriguing, cool characters, youre curious to know more…
but im sorry – we have our crazed doctor who knows poison flowers on a predator rock hunting preseve not of the earth, crazed larry fishburne who helps them only to NOT help them. i must say i should have walked out of the theatre as soon as i saw the larry’s CGI ass evaporate. WHAT. WAS. THAT. people ive seen all predator movies to date. avp, avp requiem and i have not seen such a cheat, such a cop out death like that in any of them. predators savor their kills. yes i understand they have updated their technology in this one, but i would have settled for a good beefy cauterized whole on larry’s body than what they chose, which was nothing but a cop out. moreover, the CGI predator blood that literally looked liked the sci fi channel effects. when i thought at least one scene would be worth watching – yakuza vs. predator and they did it again – set it up only to be ruined. yakuza is left behind, tall grass, wind, some cool aerial shots of two figures in the grass. what could have been such an epic battle was deemed so uneventful. i just dont know how they ended up making it so dull! it looked like they tried to pay homage to probably an old samurai movie (this was probably highly influenced by tarintino to rodriguez) and just failed in the process. also – adrien brody? adrien brody as a hitman/mercenary? a hitman/mercenary with feelings? a hitman/mercenary who magically has his revelation of “oh yes! he CAN care about people other than myself!” all while fighting off predators and trying to save his fellow other mercenaries? its a bit much huh? now, ive obviously ranted all i over the place with this and dont know how to end. peace.

This movie makes me curious, I think I should rent this movie and see what is this “new” predator looks like.

The movie was ok, but there was to much missing.
SPOILER!

Bad acting, a ninja in the movie, and no where near as good as predator with Arnold.
Bad acting? …………………… what?
i wanna watch this
cant wait
