Only some of the tribe actually does pretty noble things. Her tribe gets brutally punished by the Predator for not realizing that she is the greatest person in the world and good at everything. So you know she is going to win, instantly, and she does. Her tribe is bad because they don't want her to be a hunter, even though she is the best hunter ever. In this one it was forced in.īut then Prey stars "Strong Female Lead," who is playing "Strong Female Lead," and you can tell what her check marks are because everything comes easy to her. Only in the first one, there was actually a reason to say it. "If it bleeds," and you are supposed to roll your eyes back like a shark in a feeding frenzy and applause because 'member-berries. "What, you don't conform to our party politics, well dislike the moment after you post." Ooops, must have had the wrong opinion on a political movie again, the staff at IMDb are doing the insta-ratio. And I honestly have a hard time believing that any other Predator movie, no matter how good it is, will ever surpass it.Īnd, that's the list.Reviewed by generationofswine 1 / 10 An Honest Review This contrast, and the fact that the Predator takes such a long time to actually reveal itself, makes this film legendary, and ultimately, the greatest Predator movie of all time. Like, if this hunk of beef can't take down a Predator, who can? Because in this movie, Arnold, who was the biggest action hero on the planet at the time, wasn't the predator, but rather, the prey, and it really made you nervous for a guy who could probably deadlift an SUV back in his prime. How much more of a pissing contest do you need? And the thing about the first Predator is that it commits to that idea of masculinity, even making it important to subverting the plot. I mean, there is a whole scene where two grown ass men arm wrestle in the air to prove their toughness. I know how I went on a screed earlier about how the whole concept of masculinity is kind of dated in 2022, but yeah. Predator (1987)ĭirected by John McTiernan and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura (meaning it starred TWO former Governors), and a few others, the original Predator is about a group of alpha males who go into a jungle on a rescue mission, only to find that they're being hunted by a deadly alien. Prey is excellent, but really, only one Predator movie can be the very best. The setting is also phenomenal, making me want more Predator movies set in the past. Putting it deep in the past and showing a Predator on earth in its own first hunt provides a great counterbalance to our heroine's story arc. In fact, our very own Dirk Libbey opined in his review that Prey is "the best Predator movie in years, possibly ever." And I agree… that it's the best Predator movie in years. Prey is, without a doubt, the second best Predator movie. In the midst of all of this is a female Comanche warrior (Midthunder) who kicks their asses to prove to both herself and also to her tribe that she is the most badass of them all. Prey (2022)ĭirected by Dan Trachtenberg, and starring Amber Midthunder, Michelle Thrush, and Dane DiLiegro, Prey takes the series way back to 1719, where a Comanche tribe is attacked by fur trappers. Predator Requiem bad since at least I can actually see what's going on in this movie. Jordan (which I actually kind of like), the movie falls completely apart in the third act, destroying all the fun in the earlier parts of the film. ![]() ![]() That said, much like the Fantastic Four movie with Michael B. But, it has its highlights, like some of the humor and the action. The plot, which revolves around everything from autism to climate change, is a mess. Some, like our very own Dirk Libbey, said in his The Predator review that it was an "entertaining enough sequel," while others feel it is the absolute nadir of the series. The Predator is by far the most polarizing film in the entire franchise. Starring a pretty great cast of Olivia Munn, Keegan-Michael Key, Boyd Holbrook, and many others, The Predator features a plot where predators have enhanced themselves with human DNA, but they come to earth when a boy wears their armor as a Halloween costume. The Predator (2018)ĭirected by Shane Black, who was actually in the original movie, 2018's The Predator tried to do something different, but ended up falling flat on its monstrous face instead.
