This movie was complete garbage.

unwatchable after you have seen it once. the story / characters are that bad.


without a doubt the worst predator movie ever made/conceived.

'The Predator' was absolutely horrendous. If you were trying to make a case for 2010's 'Predators', you might have something. But really they are all trash next to the original Arnold masterpiece.

Idk about being the worst one but it’s quite bad

What you don’t realize is the only good one is the first

predator 2 is underrated.

predators had an interesting premise, (the game preserve). aswell as decent/well done homage/nods to the original movie.


THe predator... honestly cant really think of one decent part of the movie that was enjoyable or memorable. (the lobotomized space dog that suddenly becomes their friend and they play fetch with....?) Without a doubt the worst movie in the franchise. Offensively bad.

+1. predator 2 is so underrated. predators is really really really good too tho that is kinda like reboot on steroids situation but like you said the location and everything was different enough that it works well. and robert rodriguez knew.

Having a predator movie is better than not having any.

Alright, point taken.

Now that is a good point and hard to disagree with.

I think 2 isn't half bad, it has some cooky humor and a very 90's style. The main actor does a good job too. It also has one of the funniest side characters in any movie for me, King Willie ^^ Now that's some funny acting ^^ And scared the hell out of me when i was a little sh1tkid too ^^ "This is dread, man!! Truly dread!!" And the line "You can't see the eyes of the demon, until he comes calling!" and looks at his snake head with rubys for eyes ^^ Then precedes to have his head chopped off, lol xD Just great ^^ The predator acting is great too.

Point taken again. The dog thing is kinda weird. Not saying it couldn't work.

I can watch it when drinking, it's a half decent mercenary movie. One flaw i can't overlook: The doctor is cringy and just misfitting as all hell. They could at least have him disguised as something, make him be a little bit tougher in appearance. It's a decent concept. But how can he know about plants and poisons on a foreign planet... One other thing is the "berserker" predator, is undewhelming. He should be 30-50% larger than the others and much larger arm claws. One last thing: The main actor should just talk with his normal voice, not force out this low-tone dark voice, i don't think it does any good. But, can be overlooked. The best scene is probably the samurai fight scene. That's a great concept.

Everlasting argument, isn't it ... quality over quantity. What i can say is, at least they try. At least the franchises isn't dead. We won't have to wonder for 30 years. So knowing is better than not knowing. Perhaps ...

terrible movie, the little autistic kid effortlessly deconstructing advanced alien technology and languages and being chosen by the predators to be integrated into their genetic makeup because "autism is the next stage in human evolution" might be the most retarded and patronising thing I've ever seen in a movie
