Movies The Dark Knight or Predator - Which is the better film?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Both legendary films, which do you think is better?


The Dark Knight - plot summary:

Set within a year after the events of Batman Begins (2005), Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new District Attorney Harvey Dent successfully begin to round up the criminals that plague Gotham City, until a mysterious and sadistic criminal mastermind known only as "The Joker" appears in Gotham, creating a new wave of chaos.

Batman's struggle against The Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to stop him. A love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent, and Rachel Dawes.


Predator - plot summary:
A team of special force ops, led by a tough but fair soldier, Major "Dutch" Schaefer, are ordered to assist CIA man, Colonel Al Dillon, on a rescue mission for potential survivors of a Helicopter downed over remote South American jungle.

Not long after they land, Dutch and his team discover that they have been sent in under false pretenses. This deception turns out to be the least of their worries though, when they find themselves being methodically hunted by something not of this world.

I think Predator is a bit more "pure" personally and more consistant as a film, Dark Knight does get a bit messy and over plotted at points. Underrated in just how well its made as well, some very high level camera work in a difficult filming environment.

Predator is more fun, more exciting and more alpha. Plus it has many memorable one liners. You don't see many Sherdog usernames that came from the Dark Knight

 

[Sobek]

Predator and not even close

 

[fungi]

Predator is good action and decent sci-fi.
The Dark knight is about a dude in a spandex suit with rubber ears. How can one even dare to compare those two???

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Predator is one of the best movies ever made.

 

[ChickenBrother]

The comments above nailed it lol, this isn't even close. TDK isn't even the best Nolan Batman movie but at least that's debatable.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Sherdog.

Goat movies are T2, Predator, Maverick.

Why even do these..

How fucking dare you.

Maverick is Cruises most overrated movie. Its really good, even great but it wouldn't make my top 10 cruise movies

 

[Zyklon R]

Love Predator but TDK is the better film

 

[Thrawn33]

Ledgers Joker is great, but outside of his scenes TDK is an above average to good movie.

Predator is much awesome.

 

[HHJ]

Predator is a perfect film.

Dark Knight is really good but, aint no put on gruff super hero voice can ever beat Predator.

The fact that the last quarter of Predator has almost no dialogue, makes it timeless.

 

[HHJ]

Predator and not even close

This is always the answer.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Predator by a good margin.

That being said,
that scene is one of the best ever.
Nolan nailed a vilain introduction like never before.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Predator director made only one mistake.

Showing the spaceship in the opening scene.

 

[HHJ]

Predator director made only one mistake.

Showing the spaceship in the opening scene.

Yeah but, it really winds up not mattering THAT MUCH in the end.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Yeah but, it really winds up not mattering THAT MUCH in the end.

I know, but sut still, keeping the audience guessing for half the movie would have been a plus suspense wise.

 

[William Huggins]

Predator director made only one mistake.

Showing the spaceship in the opening scene.

Yes but it was a pretty common opening scene for a film of that type in that time.....

 

[HHJ]

Like so much happens between the opening scene and when you get any kind of sense as to what the Predator even looks like (since it's cloaked, up until the scene when it jumps in the water which is like past the midway point of the film) that you dont really think about that it's an alien, you are still wondering what the fuck does it even look like?

Then when it takes it's helmet off at the end, it's so fuckin satisfying, shit just gets SO REAL bruh.

Nothing in TDK is as cool as that moment.
