Your life must really suck for you to put this much time and effort into dissecting and discrediting a Predator movie.

The dialogue is dumber than dirt, and the plot crumbles at the halfway mark, but the movie does what a loud summer blockbuster should, which is loudly bust blocks.

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.


Are you retarded?

There were 3, 2 got killed, one was left.

And how do you "see" music btw?

If you went into predators thinking it was an Oscar movie, you are dumb. Just plain dumb.

I don't think the music sucked either. It was the classic predator music, which is awesome. And if course the predator died after the Russian pulled out two fire grenades...in a tunnel.


And to answer the one persons question about humans tracking predators. They really didn't track them. Most of the time the predators would find them or they would bait the predators to find them. I mean they do not need to track considering they are being preyed upon.

It's not the predators home planet, it's a game reserve the predators use for hunting. The humans didn't track the predators there, they were captured by the predators on earth and taken there as game.

all you people need to understand that i was not rating this movie based on how the others where done, i was basing this movie off by it self

if the music was like the other movies great good, IDC

in my opinion the music was cheesy.

i don't fell like restating everything I wanted to say

there where alot of holes in the plot it was predictable so on and so forth

if you think im the only one with this opinion go to rotten tomatoes and read all the critics opinions some agree with me some don't im just one of those people who didn't like this movie

OMG, the movie about predator aliens that capture human warriors/serial killers and bring them to a game reserve on another planet to hunt had cheesy music and was somewhat predictable. How will the movie industry ever get over this embarrassment.

Our posts are basically saying you're overanalyzing this movie and taking it way to seriously. Who cares what some pretentious movie critics think about a summer action sci-fi movie. They likely prefer those independent films which in the words of Eric Cartman are all about gay cowboys eating pudding.

+100000

I wasn't looking for the movie to win Oscars. I wanted to have good action, cool aliens, and a pretty decent story. I got all of those things since I'm a pretty big Predator fan. The other guy didn't like it. We understand

One thing the other guy said was something about plot holes. I really didn't see any plot holes in this movie. Everything fit well into the original story and did well on it's own, so I saw no holes.

I'm curious as to how an IDF sniper knows about the events in the first movie.

I think the movie was alright. It was close on quite a few things, but not quite there. I rank Predator 2 above this one, but it was better than the AVP movies.

rotten tomatoes takes critics review combines them and gives movie ratings based on those ratings idk how they do fresh and rotten for critics reviews but i know the do it somehow

also there was only one person who was trying to bash me for overanylsing this movie. Its actually what i like to do I have hte mind of a critic to to much. But anyway others where trying to bash my personal opinion on a movie, and i was just trying to defend it and enhancing it.

I really don't want to argue on the movie board I come to this board to take a break from threads where i argue with people and have the people try to make me look like an idot for what I say

so im done

Because Arnold told the military about his encounter after he was sent back home. Or you asking how did she know because she's such a low ranking person in the military? If so, I don't know. My cousin has a theory that she is the daughter of the chick from the first movie, but I'm not buying it.

No, I was just making sure you knew there wasn't a Rotten Tomatoes review and that they just compile other reviews.

Your opinion is fine. It's a freaking movie.

I know he reported it, that's how Keyes knows about the predator in the second movie. I want to know how she knew. She was IDF, which is the Israeli Defense Force. I don't see how they come about that information, much less how it finds its way to her.

it wasnt an oscar winning movie at all - but it was MUCH better than that AvP crap that Hollywood flung at us.

all in all i was not dissapointed in the film at all - was what I expected.

I can agree with this. I knew Robert Rodriguez was involved, so I knew it'd be pretty good.
