I talk about the Predator franchise and explain why I think Predators is not only underrated, but also the best sequel we have ever gotten to the classic original.
Totally agree with everything here Predators was a good film, love how they used the music from the original, you can tell this was made by fans for fans and not just a cash grab
@Intellectually Superior he tryed TO NUKE the city. Because he was being bestest. Lieutenant Harrigan cut his arm off as he was dialing the code in remember lol
@@croatiankid6595 it definitely was a good movie but ppl wanted it to be as good as the first but fuck bro … nothing was ever gonna equal up to that one
I love the first predator movie, but i gotta say, this is honestly my favorite in the series. The environment, the special effects, the world-building, and yes even the characters were all great for me. And honestly the nikolai was my favorite character. And the twist at the end really got me when i first watched it, and on sub-sequent watches i picked up on the foreshadowing they did that lead up to said twist and made it even more of a fun watch.
This is the only predator movie I've seen, so I'm not exactly an expert on this franchise, but I love this movie. The first time I watched it was when i found it at three in the morning after flicking through channels, and I was thoroughly entertained from beginning to end.
THANK YOU! Predator 1987 is my favorite film, have the comics, and saw Predators 2010 when it came out. I still very much enjoy it and re-watched it tonight after several years and I still enjoy it for what it contributes to the lore.
I love this film. I was in my late 20s for the 1st film...iconic, of course. This film is my 2nd favorite. I really enjoyed the characters. The elegant Adrian Brody does a masterful job of being a hard ass and so intelligent, but compassionate to Isabell. Then, there's the wonderful scene with the katana-wielding man, the subtle nod, the choreography and field of grass. The vicious betrayal of the doctor. The honor & kindness, bravery of Nikolai, who kept his word to the perfidious doctor. To me, it's a deeper film, with consideration of human traits (Noland's psychosis). And the note that all the people on the planet are "predators" but some are "human", perhaps.
was so excited to see it when I found out it was being made, found out because I've followed Walton's career for long before 2010 so I saw it was in production. I was not disappointed, I actually fell in love with it. Like you God only knows how many times I've watched it. It's definitely one I'd have to keep in the 'if you had to give up most of your dvds' hypothetical situation. The cast also made it so great & I love the dark humor mainly Walt was given!
This movie is like the Prequel trilogy. In which the studios fuck up the sequels so much (The Predator 2018 and Sequel trilogy) that the previous instalments are now getting the recognition they deserve.
When it came out, I liked it, but was very much in the camp of "i dont know how to feel about this." Years later, in the run up to watching The Predator (which i had already heard was gash), i rewatched the first 3 movies and had a bit of an awakening and came to realise that Predators really, REALLY, holds up. Also, after actually watching The Predator, it helped me to realise that the call backs to the original movie were really well crafted, and not awkwardly shoehorned cringe. PS, Nikolai was the second best character after Hanzo. He took the Preds penchant for blowing themselves up, and used it against them. On top of that, he was also a family man of such calibre, that it would make Guile from Street Fighter reconsider using it as an insult.
Agreed, Predators is so underrated. I thought The Predator would be great since Shane Black came back to write and direct, but it was terrible. Fun Fact they conclude the Predators story in comic form.
Great video man. Also love the cowboy bebop music use! I do like this film. It stays faithful to what we know in the universe and expands it a little. The follow up comic to this film that takes place after the film was sadly a bit meh.
I had fatigue with the series after the avp movies and so had passed on watching this when it came out. As a kid i didnt quite care for predator 2, but as an adult i can see it for the better film it is. That being said years after predators came out i watched it one late night and absolutely loved it aside from a few things. I had been told it was garbage so I didn't give it a chance. My god, was i wrong. It's a great predator movie. I guess my major dislike was topher Grace's character. He felt out of place and I felt it detracted from the film.
Absolutely! Idk why everyone cried about Adrian Brody. Topher Grace's involvement felt like your average cynical studio executive move to try and appeal to a younger audience that might not have nostalgia for the franchise. His character was written so poorly. The whole reveal about him being a murderer was executed like a clumsy child. He wants to stay on the planet because being a murderer on earth makes him a freak? Does he think that if he murders 2 of the 3 people they have left to hunt, that they'll just let him into their hunting gang and give him cool weapons instead of hunting him? He saw that they had one of their own kind strung up to a tree just for being different? What makes him think the Predators will accept him just because he killed other humans? Their ability to kill other human beings is why they were chosen to be hunted in the 1st place. 🤦♂️
Bruh, only 221 views and only 2k subscribers and you're putting out quality content! TH-cam is F'D up. This is definitely the best Predator sequel and I don't understand why fans don't love it, it was great fun.
Was stupid that the studio never followed up on this ending. They had something great here and wasted the opportunity. Predator 2 (1990) and this are the best sequels. They had passion and respect for the 1987 original. Something totally gone in The Predator (2018) and Prey (2022).
I do love the fact it takes place on a game hunt planet with a bunch of people with certain aspects that made them predators on earth and made them worthy to be hunted by the super predators
Predator 2 might not be as good as the first but it definitely does deserve more credit!! A great sequel and in my opinion the design of the city hunter is much better and more sinister.
There kinda at least was a follow up comic to this - the two continue to survive and the guy goes out to hunt a lot. Eventually it seems that he was taken notice by the Predators and given some of their gear. Don't remember what happened after tho.
It’s was entertaining. I wish there a scene that showed the dog creatures kill a character to show more viciousness. Cameo of an well known actor at the end would be interesting too
Perhaps if they were all from the same squadron of mercs or elite soliders and with more character development? Yet I still loved it and it's my second favorite Pred movie as well.
Shame on you Fox and Arnie for not getting Rodriguez on board for Predator 3 and a curse on you fox for not letting Rodriguez finish his trilogy. Fubadaaaaarrrhhhh!!!!!! ⚔️ ☠️ 📽️
What made the Predator work wasnt the jungle. It was his interactions and psychological warfare with the cast. He literally plays on peoples weaknesses and words. How are you conflating the predators worth with a narrow set location? Rather than how the character and noted ticks of the predator?
Predators and predator 2 are underrated after rewatching them for a third time. I just think people expect them to be on the first movies level but if you go into them not thinking that you can still enjoy them. Also prey is probably the best we've had since the first but still not better to me and overrated.
I've found something I could enjoy about every predator film except for Shane blacks movie and prey, which I've not gotten to see just yet (prey), believe it or not. Lol
I remember watching predator and alien on my PSP (LOL) and thinking the predator was the coolest freakin monster I’d ever seen in a movie. Then I see AVP 1 and 2 and am supremely bored, outside of the ancient aliens theme which intrigued me. I then played that 2010 AVP game and saw this and thought both were the coolest things of all time (2010 was good to the predator franchise!) This was also my first rated R movie I saw in theaters so it was beyond a big deal to me, I went with my older brother and I thought it was the most badass shit I’d ever seen on film and wanted more….then we got nothing until the predator, and I wish we had just gotten nothing lol.
Predators was awesome. The people who complain about Adrian Brody, are just mad that they can't stare at a muscular body for an hour and a half. Prey was awesome and I saw someone rank it as the new 2nd best. Knocking Predators down to 3rd. I still think Predators takes 2nd place. Prey does a great job of respecting the original in a fresh new way. But Predators actually expands the lore and in a very interesting way. I don't think I've ever seen a more shocking opening scene to a movie.
I think the Predator franchise is one those franchises that aren't completely dead yet. Predator is fantastic, Predator 2 is great, Predators is awesome and Prey is good with only The Predator being the bad movie in the bunch. Overall, the Predator franchise is still going strong so far
Honestly I’d argue the first alien vs predator is also an extremely good predator movie, just a bad alien one, tbf never been the biggest fan of predator but I think the first alien vs predator has a lot of really cool action and I like the more heroic side of it and tbh I don’t even think the added mythos is that bad
Predators 2010 did everything the predator 2018 tried and failed doing, like the super predator, the hell hounds, a predator sympathetic to humanity, a rag tag group of people who don't know each other (kinda) etc. Except predators took itself seriously enough and over all executed those ideas infinitely better than the predator could dream. The dogs were scary in predators, Mr black and his crew were scary in predators, the blood feud was way cooler, the predator fight is way cooler, everything is superior to the predator. Yea the super predators from predators are some of the coolest yautja in the franchise and I desperately wanna see more of this blood feud. But whenever I see the predator I wanna Guage my eyes out so I won't have to look at that terrible cgi abominations that are the dogs with predator heads for some ungodly reason, they look ridiculous design wise and they look like a ps5 cutscene.
When they came across the dead black ops guy and his gun is still in his hand they walk away and leave it there. OK. So the Bill Paxton substitute death row inmate was fine with his shiv. Fuck that gun! It almost took me out of the film as much as Busey`s top half floating in the meat locker.
A knit pick but goggins spinal rip Predator fatality lacked a loud pain scream really lacked impact with the sound. Thankfully Alan Silvestri's score was amazing but sadly no Predator 2 expanded score. Oh the trilogy we never got damn shame !!!
Predator 2 was way better than this. In fact I would say the quality of the Predator movies literally matches the order of them. 1 is the best, 2 is 2nd, this is 3rd and The Predator is way last. I do agree that Predators is not as bad as is made out but i don't agree it is better than Predator 2, which I think was a good sequel and boasts an equally impressive cast (for the time).
It was decent as a Predator movie sure, though Predator 2 is very Underrated. Predator Predator 2 Predators The rest vs aliens doesn't deserve to be on my list (especially the last film 2018 was a disgrace)
No, it's not. 1. It exploited the original one. Almost the way the creators of the second Predator were trying to avoid. 2. The hounds. 3. The group of comic characters that were drawn together in the middle of nowhere for hunt. Is it ok? Ok. But why comic? The way they killed them one by one is more than stupid. There is only one Predator movie and it's the first one. The closest attempt to success is the second one. With flaws, but made with care. Everything else is just a pile of garbage trying to exploit the franchise. It fails over and over again. First, because the creators are trying to impress the viewer or trying to "talk to a new audience". They are unable to adapt the old movie for the new standards or use the new standards in the old movie. There are good ideas, but they are undeveloped. Unfortunately.
A better question would be why do you like it? There's not much to like about it. If you're judging it as a movie, it has awful acting, a terrible screenplay with atrocious dialogue and flat characters, and bland directing. If you're judging it as a fan of the franchise, it's bad because it retcons the predator lore to include aliens in a way that doesn't make much sense, it has a bad predator design, and it focuses so much on the cardboard human characters that there's barley any Aliens fighting Predators in a movie called Alien vs Predator.
In Predators we saw 4 predators die and 7 humans. Damn those Predators need to take up badminton. Humans are scary dangerous! P.s I literally disagree with every positive comment you make
Predators looses me instantly on the premise, how did the predators beam up the killers in the beginning? Do they have Star trek tech? How did the predators find them? Do they have a surveillance team on Earth looking for killers? How did they find the doctor assuming he did all his killings secretly... So damn stupid and I've never seen a review talk about this
You've never seen a review talk about it because it's nitpicky as hell and irrelevant to the overall quality of the movie. The objections you raise can easily be raised with other, more classic and revered sci-fi movies. It's called suspension of disbelief. If you can't get with it, ok, but most other people aren't going to have that initial problem.
@@RandalltheVandal thanks for your reply you are right, i just cant get over it. the story they want you to believe is so ridiculous and outside the predators nature it completely makes the film unwatchable for me, the predator hunts prey, it doesn't have an intelligence and surveillance department with staff using beam me up technology
Given that one (classic) Predator is being held captive by [another creatures]... ...if those [another creatures] had been Xenomorphs, this would have been the best AvP movie.
Dudes constant bagging on Predator 2 almost made me click off the video. There's just no way you lump Predator 2 in with AVP and so on. It literally gave the predator some of its most iconic moments, with weapons and lore expansion and was the last predator movie outside of Prey to keep in continuity of Predators only coming in hot seasons. No way you're doing this deep of a predator dive and come out thinking Prestor 2 still deserves to be sandbagged with the reason of the trash. Predator, Predator 2, Predators and Prey are top Predator media.
In the words of a child, this was the first Predator film I watched and I WAS impressed.
It's also the first one I saw
Totally agree with everything here Predators was a good film, love how they used the music from the original, you can tell this was made by fans for fans and not just a cash grab
*cough cough* The Predator *cough cough*
Honestly I didn't like how they used the score music. It would come in while they are walking around and it would make the scenes lose some tension
Predator 2 was NOT better than the original BUT a hell of a sequel. As good as could get for the times💯
@Intellectually Superior definitely didn’t suck. Just wasn’t as good as the first
@Intellectually Superior he tryed TO NUKE the city. Because he was being bestest. Lieutenant Harrigan cut his arm off as he was dialing the code in remember lol

Yea predator 2 is better than people give it credit for, but predators was objectively the best sequel at least until prey.
I think predators and Predator 2 were better than prey but it was still good
Predator 2 isnt a bad movie...anyway Predator>Predator2>Predators the rest suck and wont even watch the new one I gave up
Predator 2 was whatever
Given that one (classic) Predator is being held captive by [another creatures]...
...if those [another creatures] had been Xenomorphs, this would have been the best AvP movie.
Predator 2 is a great underrated movie . Not appreciated at all
Your review is far too apologetic. Brady was perfect casting. And all the “flaws” you point out are actually features.
Dudes constant bagging on Predator 2 almost made me click off the video. There's just no way you lump Predator 2 in with AVP and so on. It literally gave the predator some of its most iconic moments, with weapons and lore expansion and was the last predator movie outside of Prey to keep in continuity of Predators only coming in hot seasons. No way you're doing this deep of a predator dive and come out thinking Prestor 2 still deserves to be sandbagged with the reason of the trash. Predator, Predator 2, Predators and Prey are top Predator media.
Predator 2 is better than Predators.
Predators is meh !!! Better then both apv movies for sure but not better then predator 1 and 2
I was bored Predators because human talking too much
You have the attention span of a child i guess
The concept of PREDATORS is awesome, the movie is not. The ending twist is so CRINGE and LAME.
There's only 2 real predator films. Predators is another lame cash grab.
No
