Predators

[Dowly]

Couldn't find a thread about it (I'm sure we had one, tho :hmmm:) so here goes. The new Predators flick hitting the theatres sooooon.

Can't say I'm too thrilled about it, for one, Adrian Brody can't act and for second, I don't like the idea of having "Super Predators" in it.

Anywho, AVGgalaxy has an review up, with 4/5 stars, have a look:

Discuss.

Yea just started seeing ads for it on TV here, due out in cinemas soon. Hope its good!

[HunterICX]

I'll probally watch it to see Predators having a good hunt :O:

not fond of the human cast either (apart from Danny Trejo, he's awesome but most likely to get the worst death in the flick :haha:)

I'll watch it as a Predator flick, not a sequel of Predator 1 & 2.

Maybe Brody will get hunted down early in the movie. That will take care of his less then stellar acting. Looks ok though. Hope the Aliens win! :yeah:

[Jimbuna]

I like the Predator films so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

[SteamWake]

Someone say Predators?

You sure the new movie "Predators" is not a documentary of Wall Street?

:D

or the Obama regime. :haha:

Maybe it is because i just came back from a bicycle tour and have had a very ice-cold bear rushing to my head, but I read this German review of the movie (shreddering it), and I burst into laughter about the "Schreibe", it is written in a very laconic, funny tone. I liked it, though I probably would not like the film. If you want to have a laugh, a good read:

Is this the ice-cold bear you're referring to, Sky?

Some do typos with small letters, others with huge, large, site-filling pictures...

[TarJak]

Might leave it till DVD gets released based on this: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/predators-20100709-103gf.html

I think what made the original Predator good along with the original Alien was that you had no clear idea what it was that was bumping off the cast until the very end. Not seeing the danger makes it far more threatening than knowing the form of your tormentor.

This seems to be one of those hate-love movies looking at the reviews. There's good ones and there are bad ones.

This seems to be one of those hate-love movies looking at the reviews. There's good ones and there are bad ones.

I think it's best to say you'll have to watch and see it for yourself.

[kiwi_2005]

Anyone here seen it yet, and what would you rate it out of 10. Haven't seen this yet as i can't be fagged traveling to go to watch this, wait till its on dvd.

[thorn69]

Reminds me of the hunt down of Milli Vanilli!

Have you see anything yet...? :hmmm:

[Castout]

I wasn't expecting much but gore and action and in that it wasn't so bad. It;s a pop corn movie sometimes you need to see this and not to care much about whether the movie means anything.

[HunterICX]

The last thing you'll find in a Alien and Predator flick is a meaning :haha:

HunterICX

[ryanglavin]

Ha, I"m about to take my girl to see it... for her 3rd time. She just loves it, hehe.

[kiwi_2005]

*ducks for cover* Wasn't all that bad of a movie.

[Dowly]

The last thing you'll find in a Alien and Predator flick is a meaning :haha:

HunterICX

This begs the question; Have you seen any of the other films apart from ALIENS? :hmmm:

[HunterICX]

I've seen them all mate, apart from the obvious big bad corporate uses the humans as expendable test subjects there isn't more of a meaning there.

Now I'm getting confused, are we talking about the plot or the metaphors/messages here. :hmmm:

Actually I don't give a damn, I just want to see people beeing thorn apart by the metaphors! :rock:

[Dowly]

Someone should tell Mr. Rodriguez that making references to an earlier movie in the series works if not overdone. I didn't count all the references or re-enacted scenes from Predator 1, but I'm guessing it was 7+. :doh:

[Weiss Pinguin]

Laurence Fishburne had the best scenes IMO. The convict and Eric Forman were also funny, but I'm starting to hate the 'boring serious lone wolf leader guy' and 'serious lone wolf leader guy survives with the girl' crap :yep:

[Dowly]

Yeh, I liked the Fishburne's character, too bad there wasn't more to it. Definitely more interesting than Adrian "Forcing my raspy voice" Brody being all macho. :O:
