Summer is the perfect time to get caught up on the stacks of DVDs and Blu-rays that have grown over the past years. Predators appeared in 2010 to lack-luster reviews. Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the first Predator movie back in 1987. My favorite predator movie, Predator 2 (1990), starred Danny Glover. Predators is a mixed bag. Oscar Award winner, Adrien Brody, and a group of violent mis-fits find themselves stranded on a planet-sized game preserve where they’re hunted by alien predators. It should come as no surprise that there’s plenty of action and violence in this movie. But producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal add enough twists and surprises to make what could have been a predictable action film fairly entertaining. Grab some microwave popcorn and enjoy! GRADE: B
I’ve been curious about this one. The trailer looked great, but you know how that goes sometimes. I’d have to say Predator 2 is probably my favorite as well. Not seen the two AVP films. Heard they were less than sterling.
You’ll enjoy PREDATORS, Randy. Good Summer movie! Break out the popcorn! I’ll be reviewing the AVP movies next Tuesday.
I liked the first one quite a bit when I saw it at the cinema (but then John Mctiernan is a real master of suspense) but gave this one a miss as it seemed that it had all been diluted by the Alien V predator films, but you’ve convinced me to give it a go George – I shall get it as a rental, cheers.
I’ll be interested in your reaction to PREDATORS, Sergio. I hope you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
