From Dusk 'til Dawn and Planet Terror

Reason enough for me to give this movie a chance.

Robert Rodriguez is making a predator movie?!

holy crap it's like everything the 15 year old me ever wanted out of a movie.
Well, except excessive boobs.........will there be excessive boobs?

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #7 on:** 15 Mar 2010, 18:15 »

Well, he's the producer so I don't really know if that qualifies as "making' the movie. Also Dusk Til Dawn sucked.

Lines · « **Reply #8 on:** 15 Mar 2010, 20:22 »

I think boobs is more of an Alien thing. Predator movies seem to be all about sausagefests. (This does not include any of the AvPs because they are silly.) Who knows!

lprkn · « **Reply #9 on:** 15 Mar 2010, 20:50 »

I like how he describes Predators as...predators.

This is going to be better than every installment since the first one, at the very least, I am sure.
And the first one wasn't exactly an outstanding piece of film, just a very good dumb action movie.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #12 on:** 19 Mar 2010, 09:49 »

New traileeeeer

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #13 on:** 19 Mar 2010, 14:45 »

alright, I'm definitely hyped up for this movie, now that i've finally gotten a chance to watch a trailer.

question: did I see Topher Grace in there for a second or am I losing it?

KvP · « **Reply #14 on:** 19 Mar 2010, 15:04 »

No but there is the incomparable Wally G. Oggins!

I'm going to see this movie. It'll probably be bad. But whatever.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #15 on:** 19 Mar 2010, 15:09 »

Well, apparently he's in it.

Yep, I'm seeing it.

Buttfranklin · « **Reply #19 on:** 24 Mar 2010, 10:55 »

Predator is one of my favorite movies since two of its stars (Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger) went on to become Governor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Predator holds the Buttfranklin Book of Records for the movie with the most actors who went on to become Governors.

LeeC · « **Reply #20 on:** 09 Jul 2010, 15:07 »

Heard good things about this movie from movie bob and there is some twilight bashing in the review too.

Emaline · « **Reply #21 on:** 10 Jul 2010, 11:48 »

If they made a movie called "Adrian Brody Sits At The Table And Slowly Drinks A Glass Of Water" I would watch it. So yes, I will be seeing this.

Alex C · « **Reply #22 on:** 10 Jul 2010, 17:30 »

Funniest part about the cast is that Adrian Brody alone lets me argue that yes, a Predator movie, one of the schlockiest franchises ever, is a virtual lock to have better acting than the movie the lady wanted to see this weekend. Granted, she wants to see Eclipse, but still. The face she made as she realized she had pretty much no come back to that was priceless.

Dazed · « **Reply #23 on:** 10 Jul 2010, 19:52 »

Man maybe it was just The Village and King Kong and The Jacket, but I really really really dislike Adrien Brody.

KvP · « **Reply #24 on:** 11 Jul 2010, 03:16 »

I can't really knock him as an actor, but he is apparently quite obnoxious in person. Not an asshole, but rather a guy convinced of his own lovable wackiness. Hence his getting banned from SNL and famous kissing of Halle Berry.

Anyway, all the informed opinions I've read and heard have made the movie out to be somewhat inert and disappointing. A shame, the cast and director showed quite a bit of potential, not to mention the nearly foolproof premise for an action film.

Ikrik · « **Reply #25 on:** 12 Jul 2010, 01:35 »

The reviews for this have been really interesting to read, to see people claim it as a wonderful reboot or continuation of the Predator franchise and the people who think that as a reboot it tarnishes the Predator.

A couple of my friends discussed watching this as like a monthly "go see a horrible Hollywood action film" thing but I'm kind of hoping that this is going to fall through, I don't think I've ever enjoyed the Predator franchise.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #26 on:** 12 Jul 2010, 01:55 »

That is because the first Predator is the only one worth a dang.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #27 on:** 12 Jul 2010, 08:47 »

Eh, the second one had it's moments. But goddamn I hated AvP

Runner4406pack · « **Reply #28 on:** 12 Jul 2010, 20:59 »

I'm agreeing with the last person, everything was good individually until you added it into a summation of crap. Maybe character development would have been a good choice, so throughout the movie I wasn't secretly hoping that the entire planet would miraculously spin out of its orbit to collide with the nearest sun and be destroyed leaving a big bang and be done with it.

Didn't you know? Hollywood Action Movie Guns (Hero) use Transporter technology in their magazines

Nonexistent Link Blue

Lummer · « **Reply #32 on:** 17 Jul 2010, 11:11 »

I liked this flick one hell of a lot. I was thoroughly entertained!

ALoveSupreme · « **Reply #33 on:** 20 Jul 2010, 05:42 »

I was reminded of the scene in the Men in Black trailer that never appeared in the film ("you know how to use these things?..." "... I have no idea" -cocks gun- ).

Maybe I was at an advantage having been completely aware of the fact that both AVPs would be absolute crap before bothering to see them so the films didn't taint my idea of the franchise. I thought the movie was a good mix of awful camp and action/sci-fi. Yes, it is really stupid when stuff like Lawrence Fishborne's character EXPLODES from being shot with the plasma rifle happened but I was totally entertained by the swerve that he was a crazy hermit that just ended up trying to kill them and therefore was only given a cameo role.

The only REAL disappointment I felt afterward was in regard to the romance between tough guy and sniper girl. The fact that the original completely lacked anything like that AT ALL is what made it one of the better all time action movies, if not the best (not that I've seen many, but I always felt like that was a very smart thing to leave out... it's pretty unnecessary).

ackblom12 · « **Reply #34 on:** 20 Jul 2010, 08:29 »

It can't be the best action flick because it's not called Aliens.

Earl_of_slander · « **Reply #35 on:** 01 Nov 2010, 23:55 »

Predators was just about alright. I actually liked to build-up to the moment they discover why they all were on the planet. Loved the atmosphere and the guns. For me, Topher Grace acted the best. I would have liked if more people had survived in the end. They looked terribly stupid for fighters who had killer-instincts and were supposed to be 'predators' of the human race

scarred · « **Reply #36 on:** 02 Nov 2010, 01:24 »

I actually just watched this and it was better than I was expecting. A good dumb action movie.

jwhouk · « **Reply #40 on:** 04 Nov 2010, 17:16 »

Yeah, the loss to Phoenix was really hard. We're really missing Suter back on the blue line, and no Erat or Lombardi up front is giving us fits when we're trying to advance on the power play.

...huh? Oh, this ISN'T the sports thread? Oops.

Nevermind.

I was looking for that shot, and when it didn't happen I definitely had a moment of 'What the fuck?' but I just let it go, because it's far from the first time that movie has pulled a bait and switch on me. Hell, even videogame trailers do it. I'm just used to it now.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #42 on:** 10 Nov 2010, 10:06 »

coincidentally enough, I just watched this movie yesterday and um....well......it was highly innovative in the sense that it bored me half to death, something no other Predator movie has ever done.

keep on thinking outside the box, rodriguez.
