Recently watched Predator and Prey.

Prey first. I liked the concept and setting good. It was fun but not memorable. 6/10

Predator was better. Even though I was late to it. I enjoyed it more than Prey. There was an appeal to having super jacked guys in a jungle saying stuff that wouldn't be allowed today and fight an alien. 7/10

Predators was the most generic 2010s blockbuster I can think of. Everything is predictable. You know every one in the group of color was going to die. Knew the 2 white guys were crazy and would ultimately be Adrian Brody and the girl.

Topher Grace heel turn was predicted. Royce revealing his name at the end was predictable.

Action seemed worse than the other 2 despite being decades after or before.

The beginning where everyone was figuring out what was happening was good I guess

5/10, would not recommend

It's a solid 7/10 and the third best Predator movie. Love the further exploration of Predator behavior and it taking place offworld is great.

Definitely should have been followed up on instead of what we got after it. Do some Predator comics shit and have Adrien Brody teaming up with some Predators.

Does prey make predator's tagine obsolete?

"Earth has never seen anything like it before."

But prey says otherwise

Yeah it was lame. Predator, Predator 2, and Prey are all significantly better than it. Like you said, it was just really generic and ultimately pretty forgettable. Hell, even The Predator is a more memorable movie, and that's the worst in the franchise by a mile.

Everything did happen a little too perfectly. Like all the jerks get shitty deaths and all the cool dudes get cool honorable deaths. You can just about set a watch to the next death and there's nothing really surprising. But it's still fun and adds some interesting stuff to the world of Predator.

I watched Predator and Prey. Even those were slightly overrated, prey moreso. Franchise just isn't for me

I am not watching predator 2, reviews don't mean everything but they are horrible and even the well reviewed ones were overrated. I'm surprised this franchise is as popular as it is

For the 5 mins he was in. He'll the MCU used him better

The Predator movie came out after Predators. It is where we find out one of the races of Yautja is working with humans to stop evil Yautja who want to steal Autism from humans to further their hunting prowess, because Autism is the next step in human evolution.

Predator and Predators are bangers, even if Predators kinda screams early 2010s blockbuster, I have a lot of fondness for that era of blockbuster. Kickass concept, action, and casting.

I enjoyed Prey in the moment but to be honest it's kind of faded over time for me, both in concept and memory. The second half didn't go as hard as it should have. It gets points for respectfully portraying indigenous people well, which is cool to see in a sci-fi movie, but if it wasn't for that I think it would have been pretty forgettable. It's still a worthy addition to the franchise with cool moments and a unique setting though

I thought the first half was fun but it became too generic half way. I didn't like prey much but it was better than this

Also what do they eat on predator planet

Also Topher Grace character you could tell was suspect but he revealed his hand at the worst time and in the most underwhelming way

Before it released and the script was leaked everyone thought it had to be fake because it was so ridiculous. Whether it was a hoax that someone put an insane amount of work into creating or the actual script, the answer was disturbing

Predator 2 is actually pretty solid. Unfortunately, it's biggest strength is learning more about the Predators and seeing some the new tech. Much of these become franchise regulars.

FolkenRawr posted...
... What
To explain:

the lead scientist theorizes that the reason the Predators always take the spines and skull is to extract DNA from prey they deem worthy. DNA they use to further their own evolution. They also state that some scientist believe that Autism might not be a defect, but possibly part of the next stage of human evolution.

Both of these are proven true when a super predator shows up with genetic enhancements. The super predator also goes on to kidnap the main protags son, Autism.

Why? Earlier, that same scientist also remarks that mankind's time is running out, due climate change and human bungling. The aliens are aware of this, and are determined to catch Autism.

But prey says otherwise
The first movie said otherwise.

"The old ones in the village cross themselves and whisper crazy things. 'Demonio, cazador de trofoes...Only the hottest times of the hottest years...' Crazy things...This year it grows hot. And we begin finding our men. We find them sometimes without their skin. Sometimes...much, much worse. Cazador de trofoes...means the demon who takes trophies."

They certainly were a little prescient with the name, seeing as it generally takes a few years to start expressing itself.
