The Predator

The Predator: Directed by Shane Black. With Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key. When a young boy accidentally triggers the universe’s most lethal hunters’ return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled scientist can prevent the end of the human race.

Perhaps I gave this movie a bit too much gruff in my previous review, but not by much. There’s a lot to dislike about the film, it is over reliant on trope heavy characters and low brow humor, but there’s enough good stuff to still make it a watchable film. The casting is questionable for nearly every character, and everyone feels over the top and cartoonish.

All that being said though, I did enjoy the advancement of our movie based knowledge of the Predators and all the various things they have going on (space cops?), but I would be remis if I didn’t suggest reading some of the dozens of books to fill even more of that backstory in.

Predators

Predators: Directed by Nimród Antal. With Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins. A group of elite warriors parachute into an unfamiliar jungle and are hunted by members of a merciless alien race.

I would argue, and I believe I’m correct in this, that “Predators” is the best film in the franchise yet, having taken the franchise to it’s next logical step. The next movie after this one is “The Predator” which I found to be a step backward from the heights that Predators reached.

The first Predator film was amazing, yes. Arnold and his ‘rescue team’ really were the best that the 80’s could offer in American machismo and explosive capabilities, but there’s only so much that a single alien Predator can do in the middle of a jungle. Predator 2 brought them into the urban jungle, but that film felt more fantastical than predatory, and Predators really hit every aspect of a good film that I could hope for, all with an instantly recognizable cast.
