Should I even waste my money to buy a ticket for it? :confused:

I mean does it even compare to the original Predator or is it as bad as the Alien VS Predators series is?

:o

    I dont know I will likely watch it when I can find a good HD screener online, I rarely pay for movies now.

    The original predator was a classic, the second wasent as good and the AvP movies have been so so.

    Since this isent another AvP and more like the first one it might be good ya know.

    Yeah I'll probably watch it online too. Can't be as bad as the Alien vs Predator films I guess; they do have a decent cast after all.

    Two friends of mine went to see it, both hardcore Predator fans. One fucking loved it, one fucking hated it.

    I'd still really like to go see it in theaters.

    Just saw it this morning in the theater. Loved it. You can tell they cared about the series and didn't do anything to tarnish it. They expanded it like they should have 20 years ago.

    Is Topher Grace any good in this? The only reason he is doing it is so they will cast him as the lead in the Venom movie.

    In this movie Predator 2 didn't happen right?

    Topher Grace isn't given enough time to shine IMO. But he is pretty good in it.
    They never mention the events of Predator 2, so it's possible they retconned it. But I heard that Lawrence Fishbourne's character was Danny Glover from part 2 until a rewrite that involved all original characters. I read that there will be a sequel in comic form, so there is always the possibility to connect it later.

    Compare to the original? No, but it was a damn good homage to it.

    And I believe it was far superior to either of the AVPs.

    I saw it a few weeks back. I liked it personally. I thought it had a decent plot, as opposed to the normal random group of people who get killed off. In this, some of the greatest fighters from around the universe were abducted and placed in the predators reserve. Which makes a lot of sense when you think about the series, as predators were glorified as hunters who pride themselves on the thrill of the hunt. I'm just surprised any of the other predator movies hadn't thought of this plot. It's just seems like a natural progression. I mean, putting a predator in a metropolis setting? Wtf were they thinking?

    It's not a bad movie at all. It's not amazing, but it's pretty cool. Pretty much a solid action/suspense flick.

    It didn't suck like AvP so don't even worry.
