btw they don't even look at this biggest planet, they they watch at the greenscreen and they don't even know what is on that screen and where to look at, they don't comment on the day-night cycle which would be affected by that fricked up orbital position, who even knows how long is the day on this moronic planet
Introducing a larger race/tribe of Predator was a bad idea, it should have just been waring tribes with different techniques or equipment fighting over game. With auch a large cast that was supposed to be a team, Brody and the israeliteess shouldn't have been obvious untouchable protagonists from the get go, or at all for that matter.
Fishburne was good if not comical, reminded me of the grimy little cannibal from Pandorum in many ways. Final criticism is the doctor betrayal being extremely easy to see twist. >I'm a hunter, just like them
I enjoyed everything else about it. Better than Prey, The Predatard, and Predator 2.
how the frick did he know the plant was poisonous, it's an alien planet
on that note, why did an alien plant even have a defense chemical that worked on human metabolism
its not like he even said, "they look very similar to (insert earth plant)" he just sputters out a latin name like he's seen them a thousand times before.
maybe they just stole it and it just grew
maybe the earth one came from the predators
you dont ask why do the trees and grass look like the ones on earth
They dont go around saying exactly what type of tree or grass it is. its a lot easier to assume earth like vegetation grew on an earthlike planet, than it is to ignore a character that knows something they just shouldn't
So which awful movie is getting the Prequel Treatment next? Hollywood releases a sequel with too many women and minorities, and chuds have to pretend some terrible flick from the same franchise is actually a hidden gem.
this would be true if it didn't frick with the "lore" with the moronic >those predator guys were bigger and hard to kill? >watch this they job to those NEW predators that are bigger and harder to kill! >this one is
Well there supposedly a new Highlander movie with Henry Cavill coming out. They would have to make something absolutely abysmal though for people to start defending Highlander 2 or 3.
john mctiernan is a great director.
also it was a plain brilliant casting of the strongest dudes with the biggest guns to show that no matter how strong or well equipped you are, the predator WILL beat you unless you study it and use your head
McTiernan is the best actino movie director of all time. Also, it has something you can't use in sequels, it has the element of surprise. When you don't know what a Predator is, it becomes incredibly captivating to watch these top of the line secret operations super soldiers go from wienery, quip-slinging juggernauts to scared, panicky, flighty, mentally broken survivors. You can't play with that tension when everyone knows what the Predator is.
It's also paced perfectly. There is ONE single wasted line in the entire movie.
What line? I never was a fan of "stick around" personally. I know Arnold improvised his reaction when the Predator removes his mask but that line fit the moment well enough
Stick around is GOAT one-liner. Top 5 all time, easily. And not only that, it serves to build the tension for the second half of the movie BECAUSE it's such a wienery one-liner. This man is so fricking skilled and powerful and strong and confident that he can pin someone to a wall with a knife that he THREW and then, in the middle of a massive gun battle, with explosions everywhere, he can quip at the dead guy. And then you see him like a scared puppy in the second half of the film and you realise how fricking scary the Predator is.
The only wasted line is where Dutch is covered in mud, the Predator doesn't notice him and walks away. He wipes his hand on the mud, looks at it and you understand "Predator can't see him because of the mud" and then the shot lingers 2 more seconds and Dutch mutters "He couldn't see me". Just reeks of some exec watching a screening and going "I dont get it" until McTiernan explained the thermal thing adn the exec saying that Arnold should point that out then.
It is legitimately a very smart film. It builds off the tropes and generalizations of the 80s action film to surprise the audience at every turn. It's subversive in all the right ways because, unlike something like The Last Jedi, it actually has reverence for the tropes and genre it is subverting. The macho action is legitimately well done, the suspense is well done, the cast of characters is one of the most memorable of any action film, and the dialogue is extremely memorable. That's not even to mention how great the Predator is both in concept and design.
I think it jumped the shark in this scene. It was fairly good afterwards but this shot showcased the difference between the two movies right off the bat. Where the first movie would've drawn out the reveal and built tension, the sequel sticks the cloaked Predator right in your face and demands you don't notice the awful special effects and the ridiculous pose. The first movie made sure that Yautja kept his dignity at all times, the sequel made him into a laughing stock. The first one knew how to shoot the Predator and had restraint with its special effects, this one didn't.
Predator >> Predator 2 > Predators >> Shit >>> The predator
Haven't seen the new one, but we've never had a sequel that ever came close to the original so not holding much hope.
I wish they didn't add in the Topher Grace subplot. Just have him there as a doctor and leave it at that. Definitely better than shitty Danny Glover and shitty Bill Paxton.
Something to consider for the curious and the conspiracy buffs ITT.
Consider that these movies are based on a true story, and that instead of an open sky, these poor hunted souls are staring at the ceiling of a vast cavern lit by a mysterious artificial source... then consider that this is taking place on Earth.
There's a reason for the sudden decrease in quality with the release of The Predator too... TPTB felt that this series came a bit too close to the cold, hard truth - that surface-dwelling terrestrial humans are prey to technologically advanced non-humans who hunt for sport/meat/experimentation.
There's nuggets of the scary truth of our world in many movies.
I definitely think this movie has its merits but fails to establish enough of a unique identity to stand out from the original in order to justify its existence.
> Basic same plot of a group of badass killers being stalked by a predator in a jungle setting > Dumb looking alpha predator > very forgettable characters
>neet concept >good cast/actors
My idea for a predator sequel is one where you don't know that it's a predator movie. No one is scared of the predator anymore, it's in frickin Fortnite. So, if the audience goes into the movie unsuspecting they'll be more engaged with the mystery(like the 1st one) and suspenseful until the twist reveals the predator. Granted, the advertisement wouldn't be as good, so you would have to create a compelling movie that just so happens to have a predator in it. Just an idea.
I hate that they can't stop quoting the original film. I think this one does it the worst which sucks because it could've easily stood on its own merits.
It had a lot of things going for it. Ticks the list on what made the OG good, yet I can't put my finger on what its missing to move it from "meh" to "good"
Sometimes it's stuff you don't really think about like the music. Predator's soundtrack was one of the factors that made it a great movie rather than a merely good one. An excellent score can really make all the difference sometimes
It has a lot of great buildup but the payoff usually ends up going nowhere or lackluster. The most glaring example being the middle act with Fishburne introducing a lot of crap and basically doing nothing with it.
I liked it when it came out and still do. Only issue is the lead. Brody is a charisma vacuum and his skelly self repeating lines Arnold said is just bad
Despite that I still enjoy it and it's the 3rd best predator movie for me
>Royce and Isabel encounter more survivors >new Preds show up >they both escape the planet and crash into Area 51/elsewhere >they get released after some hush hush and NDAs >there's a Pred tracking them and they don't know it yet
This movie was fricking dogshit and the entire premise was fricking moronic. Adrian Brody is also less believable than the 80lbs native in the new movie.
>just rewatched the 1v1 duel scene >they both die with honor
I don't say this often, but anybody who doesn't like the movie for that scene alone is low test
why?
I always liked Predators
it's the only one I liked besides the original
it's a distant second yes but it's the only one I count
the rest of the movies aren't even worth counting
To who? For what? I liked it when it came out. I'm pretty sure I still have the dvd in a drawer, and it's on my plex server. The 2018 one and Prey both are not on my plex server. Know why? 'Cause they suck.
>liked it when it came out
>remember nothing about it
It's not good, is it?
It's still kino. The movie came out over a decade ago so it's no surprise you can't remember anything about it.
Black Swan came out the same year and I remember that despite not having seen it since 2010
To be fair Black Swan is le psychological thriller so you're supposed to remember it.
Predators is a fairly generic (but still cool) action movie.
I have a shockingly good memory. I can remember pretty much all of AVP, which I haven't seen in a longer time.
This. Rewatched it last year and it's really good.
>5 o'clock... b***h raping time!
you think you can just go on the internet and lie? and you expect people to believe you?
I actually enjoyed it ;-;
Worst Predator movie
At least that one was something different.
Made me laugh like a Black person in the theatre when it compared Autism to evolution
funny bad > boring bad
go to bed shane
>At least that one was something different.
That's not always a good thing when the " something different " involves evolution via autism.
>different means good
look at that liberal cuck over there
why don't you do something different and cut your dick off?
Enjoy your soft reboot JJ Abrams bullshit all you want, different stuff will always be better than soulless regurgitations.
Lmao boomer go to bed.
we all know cuckseratives have biggest fetish for cuckolrdy. you write words like moronic child.
Meant for
>I normally eat chicken based foods for dinner
>one night I ate a big pile of my own shit
>at least it was something different
>food anology
You mean the Predator 2019
This
What a cool idea wasted on such shitty execution
Ronin predator is kino
Prey did this scene much better with better choreography with the Comanche chicks brother before he died.
bait
Shane Black's autistic endeavor was worse
agreed, felt cheap and rushed with terrible acting
I'm still hoping for a sequel. It was really good.
There's a comic continuation.
Second best
unironically I re-watch it regularly... i really like the eerie but comfy ambience when they take cover in the spaceship
How can you miss this giant planet in the sky and notice it only half-a-day after you wake up and walk around?
btw they don't even look at this biggest planet, they they watch at the greenscreen and they don't even know what is on that screen and where to look at, they don't comment on the day-night cycle which would be affected by that fricked up orbital position, who even knows how long is the day on this moronic planet
Maybe most of it is obscured by clouds?
heavy canopy jungle, clouds
dude they were walking through the jungle and didn't notice they are surrounded by empty cages because they were just off cadre
Introducing a larger race/tribe of Predator was a bad idea, it should have just been waring tribes with different techniques or equipment fighting over game. With auch a large cast that was supposed to be a team, Brody and the israeliteess shouldn't have been obvious untouchable protagonists from the get go, or at all for that matter.

i actually thought the israeliteess was gonna be the last one to survive, and brody was gonna die fighting the predator
>Better than predator 2
Lol no, it was good but 2 is a much better movie in every way
I liked it. Also liked Prey. I've nothing to apologize for.
Your car Emma, your fricking car
So which awful movie is getting the Prequel Treatment next? Hollywood releases a sequel with too many women and minorities, and chuds have to pretend some terrible flick from the same franchise is actually a hidden gem.
What.
IIRC, Predators was always in the "okay" camp. More solid than AvP 1/2, not as good as the originals. Way better than The Predator.
this would be true if it didn't frick with the "lore" with the moronic
>those predator guys were bigger and hard to kill?
>watch this they job to those NEW predators that are bigger and harder to kill!
>this one is
This. Every unimaginative sequel has to have its Spino vs T-Rex moment. Even The Predator was guilty of this.
how else we know whos stronger??
Well there supposedly a new Highlander movie with Henry Cavill coming out. They would have to make something absolutely abysmal though for people to start defending Highlander 2 or 3.
I saw this movie recently and I liked it a lot. Great cast.
>No Goggins on poster
wow
>Die, you space homosexual!
I'm surprised they kept him in the movie to begin with
What makes Arnold version so kino? Male fantasy?
It's made by men for men.
military consultants
john mctiernan is a great director.
also it was a plain brilliant casting of the strongest dudes with the biggest guns to show that no matter how strong or well equipped you are, the predator WILL beat you unless you study it and use your head

any talented anons feel like drawing a seething yautja wojack?
Frick off George the prequels are shit and Predators is shit
I liked the movie but Adrian Brodey was ridiculous casting.
I sincerely apologize for ever watching this rubbish. Thank goodness the new P R E Y movie was so much better.
Predator
Predator 2
(Step down in quality)
Predators
(Severe step down in quality)
Prey
AVP2
AVP
Agreed, although I guess I liked Prey a bit more. Rank it at about the same level of this one if not slightly lower.
I think I like av2 more than prey
good ranking
I forgot to include The Predator but honestly I'd rather just leave it out entirely because it's mega shit
I'm tired of pretending Predator 2 was good, it wasn't. The graveyard scene alone should tell people this shit was ridiculous
I think it jumped the shark in this scene. It was fairly good afterwards but this shot showcased the difference between the two movies right off the bat.

Seethe. The first movie had shots like this, none of that power ranger shit.
friendly reminder
How many of these husbands were in the closet i wonder.
Go back to gif with your homosexualry.

I was with you until you mentioned Paxton and Glover. Now THAT'S a step too far.
Total goofy trash, anyone who says they like it is immediately outed as having irreparably shit taste
horrible cast
horrible action
horrible setting
horrible aesthetic
horrible movie

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. Go dilate.
Its alright but its easily the blandest of all the Predator movies

Yeah I honestly was expecting more from his character. They play him up and turns out he's just a scavenger that kills other people to survive
I liked it when it came out and still do. Only issue is the lead. Brody is a charisma vacuum and his skelly self repeating lines Arnold said is just bad
Despite that I still enjoy it and it's the 3rd best predator movie for me

Good thing you're not a screenwriter.
Would watch at 1 am on encore action and say "wow"
did people really not like this? i found it enjoyable
Predators is bad fan service.
This movie was fricking dogshit and the entire premise was fricking moronic. Adrian Brody is also less believable than the 80lbs native in the new movie.
Frick this moronic meme.
Also this movie is so cliche and derivative it puts me to sleep.
>just rewatched the 1v1 duel scene
>they both die with honor
I don't say this often, but anybody who doesn't like the movie for that scene alone is low test
the predator died to a manlet with a shitty sword, he lost all honour
>honoUr
You almost had me
why?
I always liked Predators
it's the only one I liked besides the original
it's a distant second yes but it's the only one I count
the rest of the movies aren't even worth counting
Please stop posting that
its wasn't completely terrible, but Brody cant act tough and ruined the vibe with his bad acting shenanigans
