A few repeated beats/scenes does not a copy make it. There's so much more to Predators than that.

Haha. It's never a good thing to trigger the person in charge.  Sorry!  ;D

Predators has a lot going for it, and has definitely grown on me since my first theatrical viewing so long ago. But I think it would have faired better for many of us if it hadn't fallen in such trappings.

A sentence that would make Yoda proud!

Or just plain copy it!  Take Hanzo the Yakuza.  He stops fleeing with the survivors just like Billy. Turns to face the oncoming Predator just like Billy. Takes off his shirt just like Billy. Un-sheathes his bladed weapon just like Billy. The exact music plays, just like it did with Billy.

J.J. Abrams would be proud!  :P



I thought the point was that fans wanted to see the Billy Predator fight?

No, no. When it comes to conveying dread and suspense, there is such a thing as showing too much. The little we saw from Billy's last stand was just perfect.  :)

Come at me, bro! Because I voted Predators. I think it gets an unfair rap and is far better than the vocal opinion seems to be.

Predators is mediocrity incarnate.

Predator 2 is a trashy fun time.

I read this in an Adrien Brody, Royce, "I'm Batman" voice.

For me is the First Predator the most atmospheric and thrilling part. It is a masterpiece of moviemaking for me. But I also have to say, it works best, if you see it the first time. You dont know what's going on and what that creature is.

But the predator movie that I have seen most, is Predator 2. I think that movie expands the predators best. It works for me as an action movie with some humor very well and I also love the style of it. LA is the best summer heat hot spot for predators to hunt. I love the first shootout against these crazy drug gang. There is also this aztecig gang style, that gives the city this jungle touch. And I also loved Danny Glover how he handles his job with a trunk full of weapons.

I also like Predators, but this movie is for me too much a turn back to the original one. I think, that movie would have been worked much better on an strange Riddik like planet. I miss the big there-is-no-way-out feeling in that movie.
