Video of the Week: Predators trailer

Dudebros, I'm actually all for the unusual casting of Predators so far. Not only should they not be trying to mimmick the muscle-bound characters of the original, having lanky guys like Adrien Brody and Topher Grace up against these Predators makes the situation more terrifying. Theoretically. Watch the video.

I love Michael Caine in those types of revenge flicks so "Harry Brown" is going to be on my want-to-see list!!!!

I'm going to be honest here. That plot of Predators is pretty gay. "All of the biggest bad asses get dropped off in to some predator game preserve?" Give me a break.

Who the hell even calls things "gay" anymore? It's like I'm back in high school, surrounded by morons.
Anyway, Predators looks like it might be promising. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Hey, screw you! The plot is "Stupid", a$s bag, not "Gay".

I'm psyched for Predators, as it looks absolutely awesome and it's got a great cast, but I do agree wholeheartedly with BlackPanther that the plot feels very contrived. In the original two Predator movies, the Predators were 'drawn to heat and conflict'; they didn't engineer the scenarios in which they hunted, they just went where the hunting looked interesting. I really liked how the respective protagonists in each movie were essentially just caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, there was no grand scheme behind it all. But in both this new movie and in the first Alien vs Predator, it almost feels gameshow-esque, with the Preds setting up specific scenarios in specific locations to suit their purposes; it makes them seem too human, too civilized, compared to their portrayal in the first movies, where though technologically advanced, they had a definite wild, barbaric, nomadic aspect to them.

But in spite of that, Predators is probably my most anticipated movie of the year. Here's hoping that despite the silly concept, they still pull it off.

Hmm, I guess I should throw out a disclaimer that I agreed with BlackPanther's meaning, though not his choice of words.

Ok im pumped about Predators I think its going to be great...however Im not one to look over the problems...maybe I will be wrong but this is the MAIN problem with Predators.

Ok so the first Predator was sent to a different world...to hunt its locals and survive the outcome to get his ''manhood'' so with Predators it would seem to make the Predators weaker...how? Ok they take this ''prey'' and remove it from its homeworld confusing it and then hunting it...so who has the advantage? the predators...they know the planet they know the surroundings...then it makes us question...are these new bad ass black ops peeps better than Arnies group of bad asses? maybe...that kinda takes away from the first predator film. Other than that We never know. There is rumor that there are other forms of ''prey'' from other worlds in this game reserve...so maybe if they are able to survive the other prey then the predators with have a worthy foe out of the group...give some comments and some views...all in all im so glad that there is no more AVP films...raping the alien life cycle and the amazing script from the origonal Predator.

Predators looks brutally awesome.

Agreed that the plot feels contrived and a little dumb, but I'd rather have that than it be on earth again. Too many humans=terribad.

I think they were just trying to imitate the feeling of the original, without actually copying the original. A group of lost humans being hunted and terrified.

I'm ok with the plot if the general feeling of the original is there!

Predators looks totally Hetro/straight to me! =)

Anyhow, having ship capable of going from planet to planet, I'd hope they had some sort of civilization. And there are human tribes that put males through a hunt or trial to become a man. That is what the AVP title went for, but I just think some of the casting was weak (the female lead). I don't mind the idea they're going with here and will reserve judgement until AFTER I see the movie.

Predators plot looks gay, hmmm sounds like BlackPanda has some personal issues with the Predator. The plot sounds fine to me, a different spin on sci-fi classic and automatically the Predators movie sounds like it could be a rip off of Brokeback Mountain.

Adrien Brody in Predators?
See, I REALLY didn't want to see this, but now I kind of do.
It doesn't look as bad as I thought.
Maybe it won't be a disappointment? =3
If I see it and Im wrong, I will eat my hat.
...I better put some salt on it just in case.

King Thor

King Thor on 03-19-2010 10:15 PM

Yeah I'm really looking forward to Predators. If it gets smashed by critics and has a rotten rating, that gonna be such a huge disappointment =(

hope not though, hope its great!

allyn h. on 03-19-2010 10:50 PM

haha, of course Predators is going be killed by critics and have a terrible rating. Its going to be a terrible movie, and will most likely get the 30% rating it will probably deserve.

But, that being said, for anyone (myself included) who is actually anticipating it, will probably have a great time. Its almost impossible to make this a truly good movie, besides for pure entertainment value. Just look at the original: awesome movie, but come on, a movie starring Arnold? fails as a truly good movie for jump street.

Like Terminator: Salvation, god awful movie (only worth a recent redbox rental), but right up my alley style/story wise, so very entertaining and definitely worth a dollar.

Man that Predators looks really, really bad.

Now all of my bets are on Stallone and the expendables. Here's hoping

Predators looks really good :)
one question...in the 1:43 of the trailer,what's that creature right next to the Predator? it looks badass.
I hope this is truly a reborn,instead of an abortion (AVP).

about the Expendables,I couldn't agree more with this: "Finally they put out a decent looking Expendables poster. We all know all about the cast. We all know about how they're planning to shoot this action flick with minimal CG. We all know it's probably going to be awesome".

@Matt S.

That creature was one of the hunting "dogs" the predators use, I heard about them in an overview of the script awhile back(the overview was quite positive).

I'm pleasantly surprised by Predators; I love the first one, but I was not on board with this reboot, but that trailer has me optimistic about the whole thing, it looks like a blast! It has a nice intense vibe behind it, and I am starting to like the cast they have amassed, although I am wondering what Topher Grace's role is, he looks like a nerd in the trailer, not someone familiar in combat like everyone else. The thing that has reversed my expectations for the movie is mainly the mood, the trailer gave off a lot of the feeling from the original, with tribal music and a very intense atmosphere, plus a few nods to the original(anybody else catch that brief shot of Brody running through fire bare-chested, covered in mud like Arnie?). Hope it really does turn out good because it definantly has potential. And is anybody else's mind racing with possibilites with that shot of the Yakuza gangster guy whipping out the Samuri sword? Samuri vs. Predator!!!!! lol.

Wow...many comments on here almost sound Jr. high school level or worse. Anyway, Predators looks...judging from the trailer...about as great as one can possibly make a movie involving the Predator. Essentially- it looks like it's going to kick a lot of ass....but don't expect Shakespeare (nor should you...the original certainly didn't.) That being said, I think it may get good reviews....it looks fun, the actors are all more than capable (and a few of them are downright fantastic) and it looks particularly well-shot. The cinematography is crisp and get's it "just right"....and the intensity level looks like it's gonna be through the roof. And why on Earth is anyone looking forward to the Expendables? Why would you want to watch a bunch of washed up old guys try to relive their glory days from 25 years ago? Not to mention- Stallone as a director? The guy can barely carry a sentence.

MADDAZ

MADDAZ on 03-20-2010 05:47 AM

Crack up brandon s. Stallone as a director? The guy can barely carry a sentence. I guess Predators aint to everyones tastes and no, Adrian Brody wont be playing a piano in this one, but damn us Predator fans have been waiting for a descent follow-up to the original. Curious as to what part Foreman has to play in this movie, he looks alittle geeky. Im glad the original Predator gets a guest appearance, you can see him all tied up in the sneak peek if you look closely enough. I cannot wait, bring on July

You're gay! No, you're gay! NOOO, you're gay!!

Who cares how that word is used? Get over yourselves, people. He wasn't aiming that word towards any of you, so you really have no basis to bash (pun intended!) him for using the word 'gay'. Gay gay gay gay, and gay. lol

You can all now head back to fart tasting parties in your Prius' now. lmao.
