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.

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 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!

Man that Predators looks really, really bad.

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

Matt Alex S. on 03-20-2010 02:55 AM

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".

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.

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.
