saw it today. def. the second best predators movie i've seen. really enjoyed the tributes they paid to the original, which included the score, credit font, and the final credit music. if you are a fan of the 1st predator i think you'll like this one. that being said, you really start to appreciate what arnold schwarzenegger brought to the table when you watch a film like this. adrien brody is a good actor, but arnold he ain't, and really nor is anyone else. this film was def. missing a legit protagnist to go up against the preds, and arnold was able to do it better than anyone.

I liked Predator 2 a ton so I'm glad to hear this might be the 2nd best one out of the trio.

If anyone is claiming this movie failed, they really aren't a fan of predator 1 or 2. If you loved those movies, you'll love this one too. It isn't quite on the Predator 1 scale, but it's still pretty awesome.
To those saying Brody didn't cut it, I'm not sure I agree. Obviously he isn't going to be as good as Arnold, but I thought he did really well. He did a lot better than I thought he'd do. I thought most of the characters with the exception of one fit the story well.

I enjoyed it. I didn't expect it to be great. I expected it to be some good scifi entertainment. And, it didn't disappoint. A few kinda cheesy parts, but overall it basically had the same feel as the first one.
Also, I never thought I would see Adrien Brody like that. I thought he did well in the role. That sucker was cut up too.
SPOILER
I really kinda liked the whole introduction of the feud between two different races of Predators. Seems like something to build on a little bit.

Are you talking about Topher Grace's character? I thought he made a great serial killer. He was Ted Bundyesque. NOBODY in the movie nor the theater expected it. If not, who?

Yeah I am thinking of his character. I didn't expect it, but I'm just not sure it fits. I know they put killers on the planet, but they put trained killers. To me, him being a serial killer doesn't make him an earth warrior. It honestly wasn't a terrible idea to do it since it put a decent twist, but I'm not sure he fits into the Predator criteria for prey since the rest were soldiers or trained killers from drug cartels or organized crime.

Understood. However, the predators would only engage you in the manner in which was your style. This made for an interesting encounter between Grace and his predator.

Did a Predator ever really fully engage him,
? The first time the Russian saved him and the second time he was pretty much dead from Brody anyway. Or was he engaged after Brody stabbed him?

He was trying to sneak up on him while cloaked. Grace threw the flare at him which exposed him. The predator never really got aggressive with him. I believe that's what he was doing was pursuing him as he(Grace) would pursue a potential victim.

Also, the second time it was a different predator, I believe. He just stabbed him to make sure he was dead.

I never thought of it that way. I mean the predator stalking him when the russian saved him. Could be a pretty good way to look at it.
Did you notice any difference in the two predator clans? A few things I noticed were the bigger clan had red eye and a mouth that protruded more. I didn't see any differences besides that and strength.

i had only seen bits and pieces of the old movies
I do remember arnolds line
you are one ugly thing lol
but i hated this movie
now maybe if you have seen the old ones maybe you like it but on its own atleast in my opinion it sucks.
typical Hollywood all through out
crappy music
predictable plot twist
typical set of characters that happen in most movies
but yeah i didn't like it
if you haven't seen the older movies don't watch this movie

Predictable? Seriously? Nobody expected Topher Grace's character to be what he was. Nobody expected them to be stranded at the end. Who are you? Nostradamus?

your right that part wasn't expected ill give you that but much of it was
like the con being killed the way he was
the 10 season guy being killed (people like that always get killed in these movies)
I also predicted that the main character the guy we should see at the beginning of the movie would live in the end.
Not every single thing was predictable but other parts of the movie where predictable
making it for me to predictable

Adrien Brody's nose keeps getting in the way of his films for me.

more problems with the movie in my opinion
who are all these people we know nothing about them, except what they tell us about themselves, not knowing alot about the movie really hurts it.
maybe they don't need to but i think they should have
spoliers
only one predator in the end really didn't i see 3 in the camp when they first ran into them.
now idk if they killed all three they didn't make it real clear if the Russian killed the predator or if he survived it.
cheesiest music ive ever seen in the moive
cheesy sceen after cheesy scene
special effects we just ok not great.
only two things i enjoyed about the movie was
the opening shot really nice shot, but after 5 seconds it sucked
then the next hour and 15 was boring cheesy, stupid line after stupid line
well you know it was crap
then the last 15 to 30 min some good action couple good plot twist.

you know what I don't understand, the movie this time is finally on the Predator's home planet which actually should have happened in the third movie after they left Danny Glover in their spacecraft, but how can ordinary humans go to their planet and track them with all the high tech shite Predators have been using throughout their movies? anyone wanna answer that?
