[Krug]

This Sweded version of the original Predator is awesome!

Film is directed by Nimrod Antal (who made the really good Kontroll) and not Rodriguez by the way.

Nimrod Whonow?

It's Rodriguez's baby, no doubts about that. Produced at his studio from a script he came up with. Sometimes the director is just the guy dealing with the lights and boom mikes and crap. Granted, Tom Savini, Antionio Banderas, and Cheech Maron are nowhere to be found, and we're left settling for only Danny Trejo, so his influence isn't total.

The premise is weak, the acting won't be stellar, but it will make a fine Satuday afternoon summer film. Sometimes the cliches work the best.

The premise seems to be pretty similar to the original movie. And Adrian Brody and Lawrence Fishburne are going to be deliver sub-stellar acting? Well, maybe... I mean, Natalie Portman as Padme Amidala, after all. But they're certainly capable of more.

I saw Predators on Friday. It was definitely better than Predator 2. It doesn't stray too far from the original, and was an enjoyable popcorn flick.

I also liked it. It is a worthy successor. (Not as good as Aliens but still enjoyable)

In my mind we go straight from Predator to Predators.

Sounds like a definite miss for me then.

Thanks for the heads-up

I've actually changed my mind after various conversations with friends who have now seen it and place it as Predator 1.5

Cheers

Just got back from seeing it and while it's not as good as the original predator (no longer much originality in the premise) it's better than any other movie featuring the predators. I enjoyed it enough to give it a steady thumbs up.

The big thing I didn't like in the trailer is the scene where all the laser dots appear on Brody. As far as I could tell, none of them overlap each other, which instantly kills the illusion for me. Is CGI really that much easier than actually pointing a bunch of laser dots at someone?

I wonder if that actually could have been a safety issue. That many lasers makes it not hard to believe that somebody could move the wrong way and get a few too many shots in the eye.

I saw it last weekend. It wasn't bad. It was pretty much what I expected: an action flick slash monster movie where everyone gets picked off one-by-one. For movies like this I usually like to try to predict what order they'll die in, but it was hard to guess the order this time because almost all of them fit the "soldier" stereotype.

It won't win any awards, but it was worth the popcorn.

Fun movie and a worthy addition to the franchise.

I just saw this tonight, and I thought it was great. Of course, I'm a sucker for anything related to the Predator franchise. Now, I want a sequel set on the Preds homeworld.
