One of the most bad-ass villains in my lifetime is undoubtedly Predator, but for my money, there hasn’t been a good Predator movie since Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jessie Ventura battled the killer alien in the jungls of… whatever country the original was set in.
I just saw a preview for Robert Rodriguez’s attempt to give Predator fans something to enjoy, and his “Predators” offering looks awesome.
While I’ve got more information about WHY I’m excited for the flick, if you don’t want any information on the film before seeing the trailer, then here you go:
I don’t see any way that this movie could be bad. I know that sometimes good actors make poor movie choices, but rarely do more than one or two make the same mistake on the same film. Predators has the following:
- Adrien Brody
- Laurence Fishburne
- Topher Grace
- Alice Braga
This movie is going to be good. I’m not saying it’s going to win any awards other than the SpikeTV Scream Awards (and maybe something from GuysNation), but I’m sure it’ll be sell a lot of popcorn. The concept sounds good, the acting should be better than one might hope for a Predator film, and the special effects should far trump what you saw in the first Predator film.
On July 7th, I’ll be there.
I disagree that there hasn’t been a good predator movie since the original… I think Predator 2 is a vastly underrated Predator movie. Danny Glover and Gary Busy were great for their roles.
The final scene in that movie is terrible, ruined the entire thing for me!
