Predators Review

Disgraceful.

To begin with no one knows how they ended up on the predator planet, and you never find out either lol. The humans just awake while in freefall in the planets atmosphere and have to figure out the parachutes on the way down. LOL. Of course they figure out that they are being hunted just like the original predator movie.

I couldnt believe the blatant ripping off of the original predator movie, that was the worst aspect of the debacle. Im talking complete line for line, scene for scene copying from the original. Even the famous Arnold line "Come on, do it, kill me now, Im here, kill me!" was ripped off verbatim. Other scenes were completely ripped off like the scene in the original where Mack first sees the predator and it flashes its eyes for a second then runs off and everyone opens fire. Fucking scene copied in this movie.

Adrien Brody even muddies himself up at the end to mask his heat signature, just like Arnold. Garbage. The Japanese dude draws his sword to face the predator, just like Billy in the original movie (complete with exact same music). Couldnt believe it all.

There wasnt an original thought in the whole movie. The predators themselves werent anything special either, their pred-vision was jazzed up some but no big deal. No new weapons or different looking predators. Complete crap. The team stumbles upon Lawrence Fishburne who managed to kill a predator and use its mask/gear to activate the camo but that was the only barely interesting moment in the whole movie. Oh, that and Danny Trejo was in the movie. Other than that complete shitfest.

After watching this movie you will want to immediately watch the first predator to get rid of the nasty residue in your mind put there by this movie.
This ones gonna set back the franchise back a good ways.
 
rottentomatoes disagrees with you.

they said it's the only real predator deserving to be called a sequel

RT is usually spot on. will see this for myself.

in robert rodriguez i trust (never let me down before)
 
After the mediocre AVP, and the absolutely dreadful, AVP:Requiem did you really expect any better?
I honestly think it was a hugh plot point failure (in AVP) to make a human and a predator, allies.
 
Still probably worth a go on the big screen or a well equipped home theatre if for no other reason than the spectacle of boom, bang, flash.

If you have the urge to see a predator movie and you have a good home theater, trust me, get the original predator on blu ray (if its on blu ray).
 
I might be a little harsh on movies like this simply because im very protective of favorite childhood movies.

not really. AVP was a good concept, just poorly executed.

Needed a better script, plot and more star power from an acting standpoint.

i walked away from that movie thinking "it wasn't bad, kinda entertaining. but a total waste of potential"

you think your expectations would be pretty low after predator 2 and both AVPs. i know mine are

predator 2 sucked my nuts. what a disappointment

that was worse than AvP

My dad's got a 126" screen. :qt:

Yeah I've seen the original and I agree it is awesome. You know action movie junkies are probably gonna go see it even if they (ie me) hears it isn't so good.

Both AVPs were shitfests (i didnt bother to see the 2nd avp) and I agree, AVP was good concept, wasted potential and chit actors. Im telling you, you will think this Predators is at least as shitty as Pred2. Probably shittier than AVP1. Adrien Brody waltzing around teh jungle trying to be Arnold=craptacular fail.
 
It was pretty shitty...I can give a detailed report but I'm too damn tired right now.
 
I think this is more of a remake, though i'd call it Predator without Arnold. Heard stil it was good.

despicable me was HILLARIOUS btw!!

Sure it had a good concept, although I'm of the opinion that many sci fi's have stolen their premises from 5 million Years to Earth. Also, a concept is the seed of a film, being "poorly executed", needing a "better script, plot!!!1, and more star power from an acting standpoint", pretty much accounts for 99.9999% of a film. I still stand by mediocre, although after breakin it down, you have convinced me I was being too generous. :D
 
Yeah...was gonna go see Predators, but decided on Dispicable Me instead......sounds like money better spent!
 
no no, youre not being too harsh. the movie was garbage! the worst part is that i went in very excited about this one! basically just fan fiction with a huge budget!

Was this supposed to be a remake or something new? Even for a remake you'd think Rodriguez would've had a better imagination than that.

IMDB is a much better gauge to use than RT, which is mostly comprised of snotty high-brow critics.
 
I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!

As soon as I saw those guys opening up with the heavy artillery into "nothing" I was like hey, that looks like pred 1.

Thank you superfuckingdave, I will make sure to steer my friends toward inception this weekend.

I fucking knew Adrien Bordy couldn't pull this off. :redhot:

Corrected. Please edit your OP to reflect these changes.

TYIA,



:cow:

TITCR. I now know why it was filmed in Austin instead of Cali. Because if it was filmed in Cali the producers would be slammed with state felony charges for defiling the governor.
 
i went and saw it today, thought it was awesome. Just dissapointed that you never found out why they were on there or who sent them.

but i think the idea was the aliens took them from earth and put them on there for game hunting, thats why the black dude said they come in three's and then fly back to the home planet after they have done the hunting. I think the jungle planet was like a big safari hunting ground where the aliens go and hunt for fun. And like the woman said it was a lesson to the humans to show what its like to be one of the countless animals that humans hunt on earth.

I have never seen the original predator (or alien or AVP) and I actually thought it would end by us finding out it was one big test and after they killed the three hunting aliens they would be taken home and get told they were the only group of humans to go there and stop any of the three alien hunters from going back home and surviving themselves.

Good twist at the end with the doctor though. That big russian was a fuckin badass but was an awful shot when using his big sub machine gun when he was shooting the dog's...

the main character was very clever how he used the rest as bait and set the trap for the alien at the end which i swear was way tougher than the other two...
 
Probably a good thing Inception releases here today so I don't have to subject myself to taking the missus to watch this crock of shit film instead!

After you see the original you will know why this current version is shitsticks dipped in ass sauce.
 
It's VERY easy to get film financing for movies that already have a fanbase. Try raising $40M for an original film - good luck. Make it a 80s remake - boom - greenlight!

deadline.com for you smarty bitches.

wait a minute....extramile.....you went and saw this movie without having ever seen any of the other predator movies let alone the grandmaster that was the original? Dude, what's wrong with you? Do yourself a favor and netflix the original stat. Dave's right, after you watch the first....which may be arnolds greatest, you will immediately go outside...kneel on the ground and pound your head many times into the pavement while chastising yourself. The first one is one of the greatest movies of all time. A classic beyond words.

yeah sometins wrong here. I'm not for going out and watching movies just cause there's lots of explosions and killing..cause most of that crap is old. But those movies dave just mentioned are so fucking well made that the explosions and killing are a beleivalbe part of the movie instead of the whole point of the movie like most of the modern day crap we're subjected to. People don't give enough credit to predator one for it's acting. Nobody overacted...everybody played within their limits and it came off way beleivable.

Extramile, I expect you to know what "gonna have me some fun, gonna have me some fun" and "I aint got time to bleed" refers to by monday. Trust me, You "WILL" thank me youngman.

Lol iv already heard of that one, Iv heard about it alot just never really bothered to go rent or buy the movie and watch it...

Jesus gutdamn christ son, time for summer re-education camp.

jesus they're some old movies will I be getting them on VCR lol
 
this thread is absolutely crappy and misleading.

i didn't watch this movie in the theatres because of the feedback from this thread.

watched it on Demand and it was nothing like your review dave. You basically said this was a remake, which it wasn't.
it was a direct sequel. and yes adrian brody covers himself in mud BECAUSE THEY REFERENCE ARNOLD"S CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE HIDING FROM THE PREDATOR.

was it as good as the first one? No way.But it was 10x better than crap garbage predator 2 and AvP.

The only thing the same is the fact they're in the jungle for the most part. considering how bad actions movies have been lately, this was at least pretty entertaining. i was expecting terminator salvation level of crappiness with the same type of crappy acting


I knew robert rodriguez wouldn't put out garbage.
