Predators

The trailer looked underwhelming to me. I think the FX look a little 'meh' but I still want to see it. I like the casting and the story could be good. :)
 
I kind of agree with the Matt, it looks ok. Part of me wants to see it but the other part of me things its a shameless reboot cash in.

Saw a trailer for a film called the Tournament. Looked like a Smokin Aces sort of action film with Robert Carlyle.
 
I saw that trailer too, before MacGruber. Apparently it went straight to video in most countries but is getting a cinema release in the UK. Isn't it usually the other way around?:confused:
 
I couldnt afford to go to the pics, but will hire it on dvd when it comes out, the last avp movie was terrible, but this looks a blast.
 
I went last night and it was first time paying full price as had one of those cineworld carRAB for a while that and a bottle of coke cost me
 
I saw it last night and it was good. It has a good concept and it's certainly better than the AvP films but it did have an air of predictability to it.

Obviously it couldn't touch Predator and I don't think it was as good as Predator 2. I'm disappointed that in the reviews & interviews they are trying to have this running straight after the 1st and ignore the 2nd one.

Although Predator 2 isn't great (Maria Conchita Alonso's acting is probably the worst ever committed to film) it does still have some stand out scenes - the penthouse massacre, King Willy in the alley, Glover's dismissive face-clap, the subway shoot out and the abbatoir attack. Predators had one, maybe two.

So it could be worth checking out, does have some tension and is entertaining but if I had a choice of what to watch again over a pizza I'd still go Predator 1 or 2.
 
I like the original Predator. . .I despise Predator 2 etc etc. . .but this looks really good and has big Lawrence in it. . .will probably go see it tomorrow. :)
 
When i originally heard about the film i wasn't convinced by the concept. But once i saw the trailer's i became interested and I saw the film earlier today. I thought it was really good and had good twists. I've also seen the 2 AVP films but not the original Predators and Alien films. So i don't care about whether the film was accurate or not in comparrison to those films.
 
Get them watched! If you somehow managed to like the two AVP films then you will probably absolutely love the original movies. The originals make the AVP's look like the dire shite that they are.
 
just back from seeing it now. very much enjoyed it. prefered the original. and even the second one over this.
still good though.

loved the bigger, meaner Predators, especially the leader.

Didnt like how they copied some scenes and moments from the original, i.e. the 1 on 1 boss fight at the end, with added traps and also a Billy type moment; the Chinese chap going off alone with a sword. his fight was good though.
would also have liked to have seen the other spieces of prey involved as well, rather then the snippits we got.
didnt quite like the hook at the end for a number 4.
 
i love Predator 2 as well. not a patch on the original - but at least they made it different from the first.
i did read somewhere that they have dismissed Predator 2's continuity - however - the film itself doesnt totally dismiss it - it doesnt mention it, but doesnt necessary dismiss it either, Maybe Isabella just didnt know about the events in LA.
Great film. cant wait for it to come out on BD - and have a day of watching all 3. :D
 
You can't beat the original and there is no point in trying, but saying that I really enjoyed Predators and hope there will be a sequel.

It does seem to be a case of airbrushing out Pred 2 and AvP 1 & 2 with the idea that Predators is to Predator what Aliens was to Alien, which is wrong and disappointing because those movies are apart of the franchise/mythos.
