i liked the first predator and the second AvP. mostly because the predator (in AvP:R) acted like an actual predator and kicked some ass too. acting (except from the predator) was extremely bad, though. dialogues too, they gave me the impression they were there just to be there.
gonna have to take a closer look to Predators, even though the concept of the movie sounds bit weird.
Finally watched the movie. I know...I waited a long while. Really didn't get the time. But anyway my impressions. SPOILERS AHEAD.
I liked the movie.
While it didn't come close to the original predator, I think it did quite a good job. The first predator was based on the premise of an unknown alien monster hunting down humans. It was a true action thriller- the suspense throughout the movie was great and so was the action though it was all shooting.
I think any subsequent predator movie would have had great difficulty in emulating that effect.
Now for the actual movie. The action was decent.
Plot-wise, I wasn't expecting much. The usual prey and predator game with the preys trying a few new tricks maybe.
They tried a little bit too hard to add some kind of twist though by putting in the crazed psycho that revealed himself in the end. But even that went relatively ok.
For parts that I didn't like at all- lameass Yakuza beating a predator with a....sword. That dumbass didn't even look like he had any skill with a sword, let alone kill a monster who was resistant to bullets. That bit annoyed me. Seriously.
Same thing goes for the 'dogs'. I mean...again similar mistake. The doggies show unbelievable resistance to bullets and Royce(or whatever his name was) slices the head off one with his knife..What the fuck!?!
For parts I really liked-
Morpheus getting blown to bits.
That subzero fatality that the predator pulled on the prisoner guy.
That scout bird-machine used by the predator and how the three were presented. Pretty badass appearance. These fucking showoffs.
For the part I felt a bit sad- The good old predator getting owned by that other 'new' predator. It was only a logical conclusion though since our old friend was captured and probably starved and weakened. Plus the movie wouldn't have ended too well if the old predator had won. Would have been too cheesy i guess.
I'm wondering what Yakuza had anything to do with the movie at all. It sounds like there's too much in the movie for me to roll my eyes at to really enjoy it. But yes, they haven't made a good Predator since the first one. The only reason there were sequels was because the alien looked so badass and they didn't want it to go to waste.
A racquetball game might also have been preferrable.
