Adrian Brody as action hero?
I don't think so.
Will be just as rubbish as all the AvP movies. Though I'll still watch them, and probably enjoy it once I switch my brain off.
Still disappointing they take such an awesome monster/character and shaming it's name.

Well it doesn't look terrible and has a good cast plus a decent director. might be hope for a decent movie.
Eric from That 70s Show. This looks like one of those movies where you speculate as to who cops it next.
I fecking love John Mctiernan's Predator. One of my fave films just for it's manliness.
I don't even care if this is rubbish, I'm still going to take some tissues into the cinema with me so I can rub myself furiously.

Shane Vendrell from the Shield as well, cool.

This movie needed Nic Cage
See you at the party.This movie needed Nic Cage
It's going to be terrible.
I'll fecking love it.

Robert Rodriguez is involved - It's bound to be great!!!
FINALLY.
Jah! To be fair, some cracking action flicks were made in the 80s. But yeah the original one was great.
Predator 2 - There's no stopping what can't be stopped, no killing what can't be killed!
They even have Predator Hounds in the movie for christ sake!!
So you can stick your Pitbulls upyour Arsssseeeeeeee!!!
I'm getting me one.

Shane!
Yess!
I was watching the trailer when I'd gone for A-Team and I JUST could not remember who the guy was. Shane ofcourse
Apparently this is actually quite good. I'm seeing it later tonight.
Yeh it's not bad at all. Not brilliant, of course, but as far as sci-fi action movies in recent times have gone, it's good.
do you need to see the original Predator films to watch this? I've not seen any of them
Not really, but it helps.
Saw it tonight, I thought it was terrible tbh
Well you are gay.
Was surprisingly acceptable.
Eric from that 70s show should never star in an action movie.
Lawrence Fishburne was ridiculous. He looked like the only thing he'd been scavenging for 10 seasons on that planet was McDonalds. Clearly the first thing the aliens stole was his gym membership. I'd like to thank him for proving that even in space there are still crazy homeless people.

Agree'd
this movie was pretty crap
3 things that were enjoyable
"5pm... bitch raping time"
the yakuza guy.
the spetznaz guy.
the rest of it was retarded, why attack with an axe, why not use your super freaking shotgun.
Why complain about not having a gun, then go to a stockpile and not pick one up.
Why at the stockpile do you pick flares up and nothing else.
What really makes this movie is that the action is just not scary enough.... or graphically violent.
Several things that annoyed/confused me
1. What was that insect thing in the mist all about? Was that another predator trap for them, or was it another warrior the predator was meant to be hunting too?
2. Why would you piss off without nicking Morpheus' cloaking device?
3. Adrian Brody was all in all fairly useless. Apart from axing to death one already injured predator all he did was sacrifice his team mates.
4. Why is new prey being dropped in the very next day/within a week? (you can tell because he's not grown a beard)
To be honest one of the main things that annoyed me was like... just some of the writing and the mannerisms of the characters. For example a predator being right outside Morpheus' ship in the middle of no where just as the explosion went off. Or after the final battle Adrian Brody just sitting there and assuming that the other predator was dead, despite having left yakuza man to face it alone, in a field, with a sword.
The inclusion of the normal predator was pointless. Like you could have had the movie be the exact same without him.

1. That was another hunt target. They collect the most dangerous from planets.
2. The whole morpheus red pill blue pill thing was pointless other then to send them back to the camp.
3. He was a survivalist, i dont want to suggest his character wasn't shit because he was. He also had watched too much the dark night when trying to become macho.
4. Kinda makes morpheus' ten seasons sound not that great doesn't it.
Yeh the other creatures that attacked them (not the dogs) were the things in the cages - the Predators choose the most dangerous forms of life from all the planets; they obviously just drop them all in at the same time.

What was all that stuff about two different types of Predator? I've seen the first Predator plenty of times, and I'm such a geek I'm fairly well-versed in Predator lore just through assimilation of facts over time, but I'd never come across anything like that.
Has it been mentioned before? Or was it brought in purely for this movie with little to no explanation?

Count, it's news to me too and I used to read Predator and AVP books as a child. Must be for this film because they wanted something that looked and had exactly the same armour as the first ever Predator in this film as a tribute.
This is what is known as 'over-analysing a popcorn movie'. It's a common affliction that's usually cured with age.
Morpheus was pretty er...bulky for someone who'd been scavenging for long enough to go insane.
Another thing - they never did explain why the normal Predator was tied up?
And also looking at the trailer again its very mis leading. Theres abit in the trailer where like 30 red dot triangles show up on Brody's body giving you the impression theres a feck load of Preds in this film but in the actual scene theres only the one laser.

Yes they did, the big ones hunt the little ones and visa versa, a tribal thing.
Just because its a popcorn flick doesn't excuse the story for having holes.
oh...well thats bollocks. the introduction of these new preds were so fecking pointless
Most films have plot holes.
I wouldn't call most of what you pointed out as plot holes either.
I thought Arnie offed the fecking thing in the first movie.
Yep. But he had nowt on Morphues and Adrian Brody(talk about being totally miscast!)
What a load of bollocks Predators was. I'm all for popcorn flicks if they do what they're meant to - entertain, this sadly didn't. Nice one Hollywood.
