Movies How was Prey aka Predator prequel

[blaseblase]

Yeah the epitome of the food chain at the end. A bratty 120pound girl jumping around with a rope on her axe. Man what warrriors he faced. <Lmaoo>

This had to be an alcoholic Predator high on ultra weed to get of "fighting" that.

Seems like the movie went over your head.

 

[blaseblase]

I had forgotten about this scene but in the beginning you see a wolf going after a rabbit and getting taken out by the predator. Naru is the rabbit. The predator only hunts other predators.



Very clever foreshadowing imo.

I'm a big Predator lore fan, used to have all the comic books etc.

It's significantly better than everything else since P2 imo. Far from a bad movie in its own right, and it leans into the core lore and expands upon it slightly in a very respectful way.

I'd suggest seeing it.

 

[herpd807]

it was ok.

7/10

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Just finished watching because this thread. LMAO @ all the dorks itt complaining about the girl main character. She was badass

Yeah, they’re only crying about it because they’re hypersensitive.
I mean, if I never got pussy my entire life, I’d probably hate women too.

They want to turn it into a war room thread about “wokeness.”

Gamer Gate and Captain Marvel were like crack and they can't get the same high again. Prey is like half a jigger of Tito's when you can't get your oxycodone. But they will try to hate it because females.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

It's ok. I kept thinking of how much better it would have been without the stupid CGI bear, or if someone like Sonny Landham had the role the girl played.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

NO.

NO NO NO NO

Predator 2 is fucking awesome

The City Hunter is the most badass of all Predators.

He has the most malevolent helm and with the killing of King Willie and his assuault on the subway train easily PROPELS Predator 2 above EVERYTHING except the original movie.

Just stay the fuck out of the way bud. Sit down young man

The first will always be my favorite. But Predator 2 is also really good. And I love how it’s supposed to take place in the future but is really just a time capsule of the early 90s because crime rates were so out of control at that time.

Movies about the future always just exaggerate whatever is going on in the present.

Prey is my third favorite.
Predators is my least favorite. That’s right. Even The Predator was better than that.

I agree w everything except The Predator being better than something. Taking a diarrhea shit is better than that movie.

 

[Last Falconry]

I'm still mad that The Predator was that bad. How did Shane Black write and direct a Predator movie that sucks that much? The mind reels

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I actually liked it. Sure, people are gonna say....woke! Predator gets killed by a chick thats 100 pounds soaking wet. Doesnt dismiss the fact that its the the 2nd best predator of the franchise. Not saying much in a series full of dog shit, but ya.

I thought it was kind of a bitch move by predator to:

1. Attack a foe that it outweighed probably 4x-5x.
2. Stay invisible while attacking said, tiny foe.
3. Stand there holding it up like he's bragging about it.

That's like me attacking a blind raccoon with a machete and acting all hard b/c I killed it. I'm like, "bro, have some self respect and some standards here, you aren't impressing that lady predator down the block with that weak shit"

Theirs isn't a culture about fairness. To be a hunter isn't to play fair. It's a culture centered around demonstrating that one is the apex predator in any environment. That is why they target other predators.

Any other action they take that seems like they are affording a greater chance to their prey is merely a matter of deepening the ritual of the hunt, or as a demonstration within this ritual affirming their supremacy. Hunt, prey, trophies. These are the sources of their honor. Not fairness.

 

[Severen]

Prey was awful woke trash. I can't believe it was rated so highly. A 100lb girl put up more resistance vs the Predator in hand to hand combat than Arnie did.

That one was an absolute lump of shit.... zero redeeming qualities. Awful, unbelievable characters, lame attempts at humor.... just a sorry piece of shit

 

[TYR-I]

Ok So I rewatched Predators.

I think the hearts were in the right place. They kind of tried to make a Battle Royale thing out of this.

The opening scene for sure is an original idea. It took balls to do,and it was a great idea to just have people falling from the fuckin sky and not knowing whats going on.


No complaints about Adrien Brody. He held the movie together. As I said before,I didnt really have a problem with the human characters except for the doctor,and the prisoner. Yakuza guy being there was dumb too but he really was only there so they could do that fight scene. The sheer thought of Predators actually busting the prisoner out of jail just to hunt him was so stupid. The guy could barely fight and didnt have any weapons anyway,at least the others could be seen engaging in warfare and be taken right then and there...at least that was plausible... The doc and the yakuza guy?? Cmon man... They went too far with that..


The other problem with the movie is the CGI isnt that great,and used in a over the top way too often. Like when the Predator's plasma cannon all of a sudden makes Fishburne completley explode in a cgi splish splash,its kind of hard to take seriously.

The Predators themselves look OK,at least with the helmets on,but the way they are filmed when they arent fighting...you just see too much of them. In the earlier films,it was filmed in a more mysterious manner. Also The cloaking shit was also too flashy and over the top too,cartoonish looking.

I will say the fight scenes,esp towards the end,look pretty good. They are really able to do good fight scenes with a guy in a suit and not cgi,and the hand to hand fight scenes are notably much better than they were in 1987.

However,when they arent fighting,its just sort of meh.


Kevin Peter Hall really knew how to make the Predator's deliberate movements stick out. Those first two Predators in the first two movies had a personality in the way they moved,and the way they were filmed. This movie just seems like they are any other "guy in suit" movie monsters. Like remember when the Predator couldnt find Arnold cos he was covered in mud. You could "feel' The predator frustrated that he couldnt find him,and opening and closing his fist. In Predator 2 when Harrigans shoots at The Predators shoulder cannon,you could see the predator pull it off and throw it on the floor in frustration.

These movies dont got none of that shit.

The predators with the helmets off look like shit,they never got that right after Predator 2. Even the tied up predator,which was meant to look similar to the first one,just looked retarded lol

I really liked Lawerence Fishburne's performance,but it wound up grinding the movie to a halt. Its more in the pacing,then it being a bad idea.

Anyway I think the original idea for the movie was good,but it wasnt executed to its best,and the movie starts to get less good about halfway through it. Brody's final fight with the Predator though was actually pretty good. The CGI ( i know its 2010 but still) was just a bit too show offy,and it wasnt needed.

The less said about the prisoner and the doctor the better.

I'm gonna give the movie a 6 out of 10.

The good: Adrien Brody,good hand to hand fight scenes.

The bad: Too much CGI,Predators kind of didnt look that great/saw too much of them,and some characters that really didnt need to be in this.

The surgeon was so fucking lame

He betrayed all fans of the first movie. Thankfully he is the first one to die in that movie.

 

[TYR-I]

I like the idea of it more than the execution. It just had too much going on and it all suffered because of it,except for Fishburne,who fuckin killed it.

The samurai shit was corny and lame. People keep saying they should do a movie about just that,just so they can see a non corny version of that play out...but they need to work on making better movies before attempting that. If they can get to some serious shit,that could be cool

Anyway back to Predators...Stop with the two races of predator bullshit,stop with their little fucking hunting "dogs" and evil "That 70s guy" and it coulda been some shit. They tried to do too much.


Opening scene was a wicked sick idea tho. Cant say they ripped that off of ANYTHING.

The dogs looked so dumb... like something some 3rd grader made of clay instead of an ashtray

It was close. They had something there but they went too far with it.

In my head The Predator is always a teenager. I think of it like Leonidas having to go into the forest to kill a wolf as as a puberty ritual, to go from boy to man.

The predator comes to Earth as a boy and returns as a man. Or not at all. So humans are always fighting a teenage version of their species.

Now I don’t know if that aligns with later movies. I have seen 1,2 and prey - and I saw the one where humans are on a planet together but I saw that in theatres when it first came out and I don’t remember much about it
