 ;D I'm a long time fan of aliens and predators and I really enjoyed the new predator movies. The new approach with lots of comedy and mental disabilities used as strengths is like an upgrade lol but also with the traditional blood massacre.
My only negative is the leaks I saw implied the humans were fighting together with the fugitive predator, but that really has nothing to do with the movie. Be cool to see humans and predators fight together again like in AVP and the comics  ;D

I think it's sad that the Predator we know and love dies half way through the movie and we're left with that CGI nonsense after that.

Speak for yourself. Even the fugitive was shit. It didn't act anything like the true Predators of the first two films. Nothing it did made sense and it came off more as a man in a suit than an actual character. Killing people it, was here to save? Brutally killing and hanging a guy in the first ten mins in a contrived manner just to say to the audience, "hey everyone look,  it's a skinned, hanging guy in the trees! Look out its the predator!" made no sense especially since it wasn't here for trophies.

Predators don't hang everyone they kill unless it's for trophies possibly to eat later though this is never confirmed. This movie is basically a bag of terrible ideas sprinkled with what the common audience member thinks of when they think of predator. No one should be considering their half cocked thoughts ever when making any film. Make a good story simple as that.

I agree,  to an extent.  I had misgivings when you first see the Fugitive walk by and he moved unlike any other predator I'm familiar with.  Jungle hunter and City hunter did not move like that... Oh,  how I miss  Kevin Peter Hall.


Only thing I can say about him killing the lab people  is that they were holding him captive and obviously not being friendly. The rest  I totally agree with.

Second movie where classic Predator takes a back seat to a new "improved " variant,  and then dies to it.  A shame.

@ avp-capcom.. couldn't have put it better man... yea its not the most fantastic/Oscar worthy/chin dribbly film of the decade..... but its awesome in its own right, its a predator movie at the end of the day and it had all it needed in my opinion ( and im sure im not the only pred nerd that thinks so).... also thought avp-r was awesome, il admit, the outcome was edited bad with all the dark tones, it was ridiculous n unnecessary tbh, I saw a fan made video where they brightened it up and it was great... Iain white was amazing as wolf, the characteristics were flawless!  :)

I wouldn't call that mess a Predator movie . you liked it?  Groovy.  I would never tell anyone else what to like,  but, this movie was more about an obnoxious sniper,  his kid,  army rejects and humans killing humans than it was about Predator.  Even the Pred motives go beyond the norm..

For me,  it was just a wasted opportunity.

This isn't the Alien 3 of Predator films, but it might be the Alien: Resurrection!!

Did Olivia Munn get a co-directing credit?
Yeah Agrred I think The Comical Aspekt of it is like in Resurrection

I'll tell you all you need to know. It's trash. Youre welcome

:laugh: absolutely agree on this stance. I was so disappointed in the movie and expected a lot more from Shane Black. Thought he would be able to have his fun but hold true to the Predator lore and not whatever the hell the DNA shit is about...trash and hard to watch. The Alien:Resurrection reference is fitting here :(
