I used to think of Predators as being mediocre, I had it only above the atrocious The Predator, but upon rewatch I'd say it competes with or surpasses Prey and Predator 2. My only issues with it are that Walter Goggins character is too one dimensional, too on the nose and that the Predator dogs took too many bullets/were too easily missed. Oleg Taktarov's character should've whooped a little more ass with the minigun but he goes out like a gangster. It's well done and a lot of fun. I remember thinking Morpheus died too fast the first time I watched it but I didn't have an issue with it this time. I liked his character a lot more on rewatch, it was a better performance than I originally thought.

It's a pretty good movie, way better than I initially gave it credit for.

I think I rank them:

Predator
Predators
Prey/Predator 2 (Can't decide)

Of course when I rewatch Predator 2 I might change my mind. All four are good to great.
 
Never realized Shane black directed one of them along with a few other good movies
 
Shane black one is straight trash. I have Predators tied with Predator 2. I felt the samurai sword fight a bit cheesy I think less would have been more. The way Billy was with his last stand in the original predator.
 
I didn't like that one of the predators died from a guy with a sword. 7 ft monster born to kill with advanced alien tech gets killed by a guy with a katana in a 1:1 duel? At least in Predator 2, the predator was already shot multiple times and had one of it's hands cut off so it was a fairer fight.
 
I only watched it one time back when I was in HS. I liked it as the ending was similar to the Batman vs Predator comics.
 
I liked it.
Motivated Pianist with look in eye was pretty good in this one.

I thought the same the first time I watched it, I liked the duel the second time. While far fetched it doesn't bigly bother me because the predator confines itself to one wrist blade, it self imposed a massive handicap. It'd be like an MMA guy, say, boxing a pro boxer ;)
 
Hard to pick any faults with the movie besides a missed opportunity to show more lifeforms on the Predators planet it was kind of ho hum in that area would be interesting to see a different assortment, this has much more entertaining value then the other ones but the first one is slightly put together better but not by much , I preferred Brody over Arnold he sounded like a real mercenary and better tactically sound with much more intensity but he didn’t exactly have a crew equal to him he carried everyone .

The fact they were stranded at the end on the planet was cool to , as it wasn’t the typical good guys win on earth deal .

These titles are way too similar. Which one had the autistic kid? Saw it on a plane. Was pretty good.

It'd be like a veteran heavyweight MMA fighter boxing a boxer half his size. Also the MMA fighter is an adult while the boxer is still in his preteens.

Nah. And the predator fought with one wrist blade and was sporting

The Predator
 
is The Predator really that bad ? A few times I almost watched it but ive heard too many times that it is shit.

It is a complete abomination.

Predators is decent. Biggest drawback is it just doesnt capitalize on its good ideas. I also couldn't get over how fat the wilderness survivalist was.
 
Doing cocaine and "forcing" himself on hookers or when he calls the predator a "bundle of sticks"?
I thought he was referring to his Tattoo line at first? But the graping female dogs is probably the worst.
