The Predator dog getting a brain injury and becoming docile, Predators wanting the autism gene, the cgi giant Predator, the ironman suit at the end. Hated all of that stuff.
No Predator movie can ever be as good as the first one, the first one has one of the best tonal shifts there's ever been in a movie and it gained a shit ton from the mystery around the Predator for the first act of the movie, you can't ever have that again because the Pred has become so iconic
It was just one of those lightning in a bottle movies man. John McTiernan directing, Arnie in his prime, the entire rest of the cast, on location jungle filming, Stan Winston practical effects, that Alan Silvestri score, etc. Fuck, how can anyone hope to top that?
Pros:
-cutie that I would like to kiss
-cutie uses tactics because of lack of strength
-bro is a total bro
-refreshingly gory and brutal
-disgusting neo-frenchmen getting slaughtered
-movie gets better as it advances
Cons:
-unimpressive hook and slow start
-lack of soul. it's trying to recapture what made the first one so good but omitted the goofy soulful cartoon characters
-lame dialogue. silent or full comanche movie with little dialogue would have given it more kino points
-cutie's dialog is the annoying kind of feminism. just show that you're capable, no need to say it out loud to the audience. again, a mostly silent movie would have been amazing
-waaay too many instances of characters explaining what we already see on screen. I sense studio meddling to make sure the Marvel audience doesn't get confused.
-final kill is a good idea in theory but lackluster in execution
-shaky cam
Second best Predator. Haven't seen 2, but the rest is shit so the bar was low.
>but omitted the goofy soulful cartoon characters
this shit doesn't work in this day. that was a product of the 90s. Just look at The Predator. They had their cast of goofy characters and holy fuck was it awful. Shit just doesn't work in 2022
I can’t believe the Mexican qt they held up in Hell or high water is the new Arnold
Definitely superior to the first.
But still bad.

Predator 2
BAD TIER
Alien vs Predator
SHIT TIER
Alien vs Predator: Requiem
The Predator
FEMALE PROTAGONIST TIER
Prey
>FEMALE PROTAGONIST TIER
>Prey
So it’s on the same level as Aliens ?
The fact that you need to name the sole exception to the rule only reinforces it stronger.
terminator 1 and 2? there’s like one decent female lead in action movies in a generation, but I think prey actually qualifies
I liked The Predator...
You can like a movie and still recognize that it's not very good.

It reminded me of the cringe new age people that burn that same type of stick to make your room smell like dogshit.
its called incense, you philistine
Definitely not the same thing, the smells is different.
i don't know if i like it. tv didn't say much and the drunk scottish guy did not tell me what to think yet.
I know you're trying to be ironic but why don't you actually try forming your own opinion anyway
He's obviously ironic and btfo-ing nu-/misc/ but I lack people lack the self-awareness to realize it and actually think he's serious.
You will like it, anon. Trust me. New Consoomer Product will always be good.

>garden gnome makes an anti-White movie
>I dont think its better than the first, but at least something is finally challenging it.
With what? Style?
It was so ill thought out and so hopelessly miscast it was painful to watch.
