The sad thing is, I think this costume is much better than the ones from Predators, except you never get to really see it properly due to the lighting issues in the film.  It was just too dark.  The ending of AvP-R still pisses me off.  It was a crappy way to end a crappy movie.  It's like they were again too afraid to offend either the pred or alien fans by one of them winning, so they both blow up!  Its like writing, it was all a dream at the end, fade away..

I actually thought the Pred costumes were pretty good in Predators. They were just too damn short.

To me the problem with the Predators Predators is two things:

1. Their skin is too reptilian like. It is almost scales.

2. No netting. :(

The Predators always had a reptilian influence in their design.
And I don't see how the lack of netting is so much important. I mean, can't they get their own custom outfits, sometimes?
It's like saying that I'm disappointed in True Lies because Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't wear the same clothes he wears in The Terminator.

Netting is an integral part of their costume. Arnie in True Lies is playing a totally different character than the Terminator, so that's different.

not that i thnk the netting is obligatory, it's just that they felt very plain without it.

they could have put some straps or something.

No doubt. The netting isn't essential, but there needs to be something. The new preds lacked the tribal aspect that made the previous designs so interesting. There needed to be trophies or something rather than just flesh and armor.

This shit is so epic its mind blowing. Can anyone explain to me how these designs and makeup get sooooo much care and detail and are light years beyond anything done today in terms of realism and craftsmanship. And they are all on screen for less than 2 F@cking minutes. Extremely frustrated rant here. When I see these pictures or pics of anytime, it makes me despise AVP and Predators more and more. I miss Stan :(

I actually prefer the new spear to the old one. The new one looks like a pole, not a spear.

They are so mind blowing because Stan Winston and his studio are masters at puppetry and costume design.

Predators just wasn't quite as realistic or detailed. Winston makes you completely forget they are people in a suit. They add a lot of very subtle movements, especially in the face that look so natural. Also just the texture and pain looks like real skin too.

Look at these screenshots from Predator 2: You can see the veins on the Predators mouth, the tusks look like real bone, there is a liquid/wet look on his face, and the texture and pain looks like real skin. The eyes loo real, because they are KPH's real eyes. The eyes look like they are actually part of the face though, rather then just a mask with eye holes cut out.





As for the netting. Predators look kinda naked without it.

absolutely. the attention to detail is stunning and the love for the craft is obvious. The Winston Preds just look organic, totally real, not forced or overdone. And to add to that realism is Kevin Peter Hall's performances. Prime example of perfect sync between the makeup and Hall's awesome performance. In Predator, when Anytime swings at Arnie and scrapes the rock with his nails, then Arnie hits him with a  backfist. The reaction and subtle facial movements of the makeup is mind blowing, IT LOOKS REAL. We need this again :(
