My biggest problem with Predators is that the big ones have NEVER been mentioned before, the standard predators were always seen as the biggest and baddest hunters of them all, so why make bigger ones? It doesn't make sense to suddenly add new ones in. If the black predators are now the big bad ultimate hunters, how the HELL did the classic preds make it that far? Surely the big ones would have hunted them to extinction and stopped them from developing the technology.
P1 was trapped and tied by the humans, then got beat up by the new preds it's in the new prequel comic
i think they just need 2 make a pred movie were the pred kills off everyone and goes back home that would b pretty awsome
ok but when noland gives a little insight in the movie he explains they always come in 3 even after 1 or 2 die they come back with 3, different armor new weapons etc, whats to say that the new predators are just like the AVP ones where they go to get their kills to prove to their peers that they are worthy of rank? either way each movie had different circumstances and basing the new ones with the old doesn't make sense. They were all pretty bad ass in my opinion.
Yes, I want to see a Predator making his/her prey going insane from the playbacks. Holding their head screaming. I can hear it now, "Want some candy? Want some candy? Want some candy? Want some candy? Want some candy?".

The problem with the new movies, in my opinion, is the audience it's aimed at. P1 was more of an action movie than a sci-fi, purely because until right at the end you don't really get to see the Pred without the cloak or bio on. For AVP, AVP:R and PS, they're trying to Sci-Fi them up too much.
A team of hunters always has to be bested during the movie, until it's a 1 on 1 fight at the end. Hollywood can't deal with doing anything differently, because the uneducated masses complain that it's weird. They want the humans to win because, hey, we're all human and that's US on the screen. I'd rather watch the Predators win, because they're awesome.
As for AVP and AVP:R, They're good, but VERY Hollywood. I can understand why they included him, but having one character there to explain the backstory and then die is just plain insulting. They could have revealed more in the extra media, like comic books or novels, instead of dumping the whole story on us in one lump, leaving nothing to the imagination.
AVP:R just needed better lighting. Had it not been shot in the damn dark all the time, it would have been so much better. Though, they probably chose to shoot it at night because otherwise it would have gotten a higher age rating and wouldn't have made as much money. The ending to AVP:R SUCKS. The Pred should have disposed of the predalien and made a race-against-time style run to his ship before the nuke hit, surely his arm computer could have warned him of the incoming jet armed with a friggin' nuke.

Meh, just my opinion, really.
Also, Hi! I'm new here, I posted in the intro thread a few days ago.![]()
To summerize these last three films were too heavily focused on sci-fi following the Predators too closely and at the wrong times all the while killing their predator characters too soon not giving them the proper screen time. They did have a good amount of action in them, but since they were completely sci-fi'ed out they didn't feel like action flicks. Just purley sci-fi. Hey that's their faults not mine. I know it's a contradiction continuing to say show too much then complain it's not enough, but it's based of the scripts of these horrible movies. Predator and Predator 2 did it just right giving audiences things they'd never seen before with the element of surprise. They also focused the right amount of time on humans with Predators involved. I guess what it comes down to is the classic films had better scripts. And Hollywood these days will conceive any old idea.
so, you've seen it obviously now right? PREDATORSTo be honest, what I liked most about the preds from AVP was their faults. They behaved very much as I'd expect a group of kids to behave on their first hunts.
For me the movies are, in terms of my personal liking, the same as their order of release.
P1 - new and fun
P2 - pretty fair followup
AVP - finally some back story
AVP2 - one over eager pred killing for whatever. cool toys though.
RRPs - just crap.
