Movies How was Prey aka Predator prequel

[Protectandserve]

I liked it. It was the 3rd best Predator movie, including the AvsP movies. Which isn't saying much. Still, it was levels better than the rest, and only a level below part 2.

This is the same as I would rate it. Just a bit below 2. Just ahead of Predators and absolutely shits on The Predator.

It's easily in the top 4.
My order

1. Predator
2. Predator 2
3. Prey
4. Predators
2 Through 4 are all close in quality IMO.

Nah I loved Predator 2. I've rewatched it in the past couple of years and still thought it was great. Prey is pretty good but it's not better than Predator 2.

Same here I have Prey as third behind number 2 and ahead of Predators.

Put your scepticism aside, TS, and fire up some Jiffy Pop because Prey is pretty damn good.

It is ultimately a girl power movie, but it's so well done that I had nothing to complain about. Besides, its genre mashups of historical drama, science fiction, action and horror make the ride there really fun.

I had a blast watching Prey and highly recommend it.

I wouldn't call it a girl power movie, it's way more nuanced than those kind of movies and she has flaws and has to use intelligence to win, not physicality. Her brother was a much better fighter but he didn't know as much about the Predator and the Predator had to resort to hacks to beat him.

Predator 9.5
Predator 2 8.0-8.5
Predators 7.0-6.5
Prey. 7.0-6.5
The Predator 3.5-3.0

I'd rank Predators and Prey pretty much the same. Both had some good moments, both had some lame memberberries. Both are clearly a tier below Predator 2 though.

Fishburne's acting wasn't a problem. He delivered the character as written about as well as could have been done. Like I said the idea of a guy in his situation was interesting. Having him exit the movie the way he does...

Spoiler

...with this obviously seasoned clever stealthy survivor basically just committing mass murder / suicide by making a spectacle out of giving away his and their position in the most stupid and attention seeking way possible...

...was pretty dumb. The guy just turned on a dime and did stuff completely out of character because the writers decided the plot needed him to.

Agreed on that. It's like the budget ran out on him lol.


Like fishburne said "I'll do this shit if we can film it in a day..."

the only part I liked was the connection to Predator 2 with flintlock pistol.

other than that it was a bucket of meh

and nothing beats how bad AVP 2 was as far as predator movies go.

Yeah, AVP 2 was horrible, not sure who's idea it was to make the movie super dark so you could barely see anything, not that it was the main reason it was so bad though but it would have helped.

PREDATOR - 400 Million out of 10
PREDATOR 2 - 8 out of 10
AVP - 6 out of 10
AVP R - 3 out of 10
THE PREDATOR - Doesnt deserve a rating
PREY - 6.5 out of 10

Definitely NOT a girl power movie.

Thought the concept was great and execution was pretty good as well.

My story was better but oh well. I guess you could still have my story as a sequel to Prey but alas, not meant to be.

A lot better than the Predator, but pretty overrated. I’d have it as the fourth best Predator movie, behind Predator, Predator 2 and Predators, but just a hair ahead of the AvP movies and way ahead of the Predator which was fucking dog shit.

 

[Dizzy]

It was good. Don’t listen to the incels.

I haven't watched it as my friend told me it ends with...

I feel like watching all the ones after 2 again and seeing how I feel.

Well except for The Predator.

I couldnt even watch that one all the way through it was so bad.

I will keep you up to date on my highly sought after opinions.

Prey 1/10 and one of the worst movies.

 

[PBAC]

It was OK but we do live in the land of lowered expectations though. It lacked the grittiness of 1 and 2.

 

[cmw43]

would have been better if they used actual apache language and not english.
less mary sue for the protagonist would also have been better, and more believable. maybe make it a group effort against the predator, who also seemed way more powerful and dangerous than the one in the first movie.

There is a full Commanche language version available with subtitles.

Lol, it's no where close to as bad as the AvP movies or The Predator. It's easily in the top 3 or 4.
