Re: Predators I don't think anyone was excited about a Nightmare remake on here, but this did enough to bring some dignity back to the franchise, and a good way to kickstart it back. This doesn't do too much new, but we need an actual sequel for a change. Every film is about trying to figure out what they are up against. They need a new formula, and I hope they make a sequel with Brody and the Girl.

Re: Predators It's actually quite good. The film does not treat you as an idiot and spoon-fed every element of the story, rather stating things rather simply and allowing the audience to fill in blanks. The mystery/thriller first half is far better than the dumbed-down action focused second, but all throughout it is a surprisingly entertaining film.

Re: Predators Gunslinger wrote: Jim Halpert wrote: the samurai fight scene against the predator with the music was easily the worst scene of all time of any film ever. This is just...not true. Every single scene in the last airbender proves this incorrect. _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself.

Re: Predators Bradley Witherberry wrote: jmovies wrote: The entire cast does not fit the bill here including the ridiculous nonsense acting from Topher Grace and Adrien Brody. I agree about Topher Grace - - I can't believe that no-talent hasn't faded from view yet. But I did enjoy the rest of the cast, though I thought Laurence Fishburne was wasted. I completely agree on every point here bradley. _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself.

Re: Predators It's not terrible, but it's almost totally unnecessary.
Fishburne needed to be in it more.

Re: Predators I loved it (for what it was). A return to form the franchise after a dire run, including the awful Predator 2 and, worse still, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Fans have been waiting 23 years for a well-crafted, worthy sequel to the McTiernan/Schwarzenegger film, and this is it. Brody was an inspired casting decision. The samurai fight was brilliant, I thought. Camp? Sure. But who cares? It was exciting and fun and over-the-top. I had a blast.

Re: Predators 3/10 -> D-
Unnecessary movie to say the least. The setup that looks like it was meant for a video game doesn't help. The characters are laughable, the action is boring and I'm really tired of endings that set up a sequel. It's really bad. Predator 2 is like a masterpiece compared to this.

Re: Predators You are right. If 'Avatar' got three points, this one deserves at least one less.

Re: Predators This is pretty bad for the most part. Brody is good, but the rest of the cast is so ugh..The predators are cool, but they don't really do anything, except die actually. The finale is pretty cool, and there's some good action going on, but the rest of the movie, the how they got there, and the meaning of it all, is just weak. Fishburne's character doesn't add anything, is annoying in fact, and that whole part in his hide-out is so bad, it's funny actually. It's a very B-level movie by all standards, score is awful.
