I loved both Predator 1 and 2. I don't see why the 2nd gets much hate?
The Predator (New Sequel)
- Thread starter Vivek
- Start date
I too liked P2. It's nothing compared to the original, but I never thought of it as bad.
except when it comes to the last atrocity they tried to pass of as a sequel. In that case, "no Predator movie" would have been better.
Beats me. I liked it.
... Like sex, even bad Predator movies are better than no Predator movies

My favs are also the first two. I keep saying it, but they really blew it when they made either AvP and no one thought of putting Colonial Marines in it!

Personally the only one I didn't like was predators, it just didn't work for me.

Ugh, sounds like Arny's back if he can't talk about it. MAJOR FAIL.
If Arnold really is coming back for this installment, I think I'll give Shane Black the benefit of the doubt that he can actually do something with him. I do find Shane Black to be a talented writer, director and actor who has been with the industry since the 1980s. And let's not forget that he's worked with Arnold on two occasions, most obvious one being the original Predator.
I don't think the same could be said for anyone involved in Terminator Genisys.
Shane also gets high praise from Dick Donner :thumbsup
:thumbsup
Arnold can still work. He could either be the head of the unit hunting a Predator, or be pulled out of retirement to either fight or teach the new guys how to fight them.

My problem is that the franchise isn't about Arnold, it's about the damn Predator. Nobody wants to see a Friday the 13th rebootquel with Cory Feldman, right? If Arnold had done part 2, like Sigourney Weaver did Aliens/3/4, I could see the logic, but he didn't, the franchise sputtered along, and now trying to shoehorn him in is just nostalgia stroking.

I dunno, this is one of the few sequels I wouldn't really mind Arnold coming back to, if he is brought back in to teach the new team or something like that. IMHO everything, other than the original, that has involved this creature has been absolutely horrible. He couldn't make it any worse.
Well, maybe the second one was okay. But that's just my opinion, you may like the later stuff.

didn't the "special team" say in P-2 dutch died from his wounds?? I think he lived long enough to tell the tale.... that's how they knew how to track the second pred and "somewhat" protect themselves. either way I will definitely give it a shot opcorn

I try to be positive about this stuff, but WTF are they thinking?
