minivenom Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Well, I just got home from seeing Predators, and though I've read a lot of crummy reviews about it, I actually quite enjoyed it. I'll not post any spoilers or anything, but if you're a fan of the Predator franchise, I think it's worth a look. Maybe after a week or so, we can start posting spoilers, but in the meantime, if you've seen it, I'd like to know how you feel about it. The first is still the best to me, but I felt that Predators was worthy of the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I caught it today also and liked it quite a bit. I actually haven't come across any bad reviews for it yet. Everything that I have read has been pretty much positive. My only small gripe I had was the pacing at times was so slow. Otherwise I think it was well done and blows away the lousy Aliens vs Predator movies. I hope that the sequel to this movie happens soon and is done by the same people (Rodriguez and Antal). I don't want to wait as long as we had to for this movie to finally get made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I saw it last night. It was alright, not the best of the bunch, but alright. I agree with the pacing comments that Crippler mentionned but what really bugged me was the heavy recycling of stuff from the first movie. Watch it and you'll understand. And if this movie was to be a "reboot" of the franchise, why was the premise / outcome of the first Predator movie mentionned in this movie? Strange. Anywho, check it out and decide for yourselves.

MiniFiend UK Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 From The reviews I have seen/read its supposed to be a direct follow on from the first movie so kinda ignores everything else. Again from what I've read its a ok movie you get exactly what you expect so to be honest I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entertheninja! Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 the review is on my blog if you want it a bit more fleshed out. I think the pacing needed work, a bit more back story wouldve been great, but overall there were more positives than negatives. It works as a sequel to Predator and ditches AVP and AVPR.

IndieMate Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Saw the movie a couple days with a couple of friends. A'ight movie, I guess. Boring scenes are BORING, but badass scenes are badass. I'd give it a 3.5/5. Its worth a watch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
