Predators (2010) appreciation thread. He was good for the role. Anyone complaining that he didn't have Arnold's physique is a dunderhead. Shane Black didn't have that kind of physique in the original either. Royce was probably the most competent of all the predator's characters in all the movies
This planet is a game preserve... and we're the game
Walton Goggins shows up
doesn't even say the n-word
still the best thing about the movie
Still can't believe Shane Black fucked up The Predator (2018) so badly. I mean the nigga was literally IN the original movie. I remember the leaks from test screenings about the kid having autism or whatever it was and nobody believed it at the time, people thought it was a joke... and then it turned out to be true.
based
I think this movie would have been regarded better with a different lead. Even having the woman with the sniper would have been better.
Brody just has an obnoxious punchae face that annoys me (he seems like a pretty nice guy irl i guess).
fucked up The Predator
It was the funniest movie of the year.
The punchable face works for the character because he's the kind of guy you would want to punch if he didn't have a gun ready to shoot you with. He's literally a merc.
It's The Most Dangerous Game...but with yautja.
Shane Black didn't have that kind of physique in the original either.
did he have a gargantuan jewish schnoze?

He was good for the role
nope. his voice felt forced and unnatural. he's only passable since there weren't that much dialogue to begin with.
picrel ruined the movie for me. you'd think that the preds would research their targets instead of just looking at the stats screen summary.
that's what his voice sounds like, look up his interviews and older roles like king kong
The only time Adrian Brody should be the main character of a Predator movie is if it were some sort of Zucker brothers spoof
You guys are just antisemites. This movie is obviously about the genetic supremacy of pure american kike/ israeli jew racial miscegenation to create the true Apex Predator.
This muhfugga plays an emaciated Holocaust survivor in almost all of his kinography so it's kinda weird seeing him as the lead actor playing a buff grizzled commando/operator.
Good thread. This movie was great and was probably the last good thing to come from the Predator universe. When I saw it I had never really seen Brody in other movies. Except ironically King Kong, so his role felt right on point. But THIS is what people want in a predator movie. Badass human warriors in their prime fighting prime Predators.
He looks like a dweeb, not some badass military guy.
He doesn't look dweeby enough
ugly hooknosed faggot
movie turns into a samurai flick half way in
KINO
Honey, I destabilized the small Latin American country!
someone post the webm
He got casted as the hero big shot in Peter Jackson's King Kong too
I quite liked the Machiavellian backstabbing
DIE YOU SPACE FAGGOT
is the best line in the movie.
Couldn't stop fucking laughing at the cinema when he jumped the Predator and shanked him and he yelled that
I don't remember that part lol but you're right

Literally what Dillion's job was during the first movie
Plot didn't need the Topher Grace twist. His presence is fine if you just consider that they add a doctor to every season.
That Juarez segment was the epitome of how you shoot a suspenseful scene with minimal exposition.
That's when I knew Walton Goggins was the best
did they not do exactly that by planting a deranged serial killer in their midst? he was clearly dangerous, like hannibal lector tier, so why not?
his voice felt forced and unnatural.
he was channeling hugh jackman who wouldve been better for the role
I will never understand why people shit on Predators so much. It had a unique (enough) premise for a Predator film. The action was fun. The characters were memorable (see also: Walton Goggins in literally anything).
People shit on Brody and say they couldn't "take him seriously" in an action role, but it was literally the first film I saw him in, so I had no issue buying this muscular, gruff talking soldier man in the lead role.
Topher Grace's last second villain twist was lame though.
I remember leaving the theater thinking "that was just okay, kinda dumb" and then Hollywood completely shit the bed. So I go back and rewatch it a few months back and realize it's better than 95% of movies released these days. Funny but sad.
How did the intergalactic equivalent of Africans manage space travel and planetary settlement?
They're not the equivalent of africans. They're more like Native Americans.
the point of the humans is to provide a challenge to the preds.
putting eric there would've made the humans infight, which goes against the setup of the hunt.
also, compared to the others, he's just a cowardly serial killer who kills by drugging patients.
he has a high kill count, but he offers no actual challenge to the preds.
Brody actually did pretty well in this, I found his character believable
predators was great and i didn't realize this on first viewing but goggins sells it for sure, the diverse cast of badasses is always a dope trope
They're not the equivalent of native americans. They're more like rich dentists on hunting safaris.
I've always assumed that they're so advanced and long lived that they pretty much have nothing else to do anymore so they just hunt for fun
i respect the hate for brody in this movie but I didn't really know who he was when I saw it and I'm a big enough predator fan that I sorta bought into the notion that often the most dangerous individuals look like regular guys cause its the reality, he had a bit of like an ex eastern euro operative look going the kind that committed war crimes left and right
Because he did well in the role you Anon Babble memes didn't shape your opinion back then so you were able to see it.
Most of the cast did well, even if Topher's character was a bit questionable.
when I get back home I'm gonna rape me so many fine bitches, you know what I mean?
oh yeah, for me its like 5 O'clock... bitch... raping... time..
I raffed
It was entertaining, but they should have dropped the Grace, Fishbourne and race war shit, and just focused on the group getting hunted by a few Predators.
Those other plot threads really didn't add much to the movie at all.
He was shit and this was the worst predator film by a significant margin
Shane Black's movie was the worst by any margin

In a world where AvP Requiem and Prey exist, please kill yourself.
Oh, and dont embarrass yourself too hard when you're defending Prey like the troon you are.
It had a unique (enough) premise for a Predator film.
Biggest issue is it doesn't really seem like a Predator movie. Feels like it was something else and they threw predators in last minute.
NTA, but all the best bits of AVPR are Predator related.
Definitely better than The Predator (Iron Predator suit) or Prey
Predators isn't the best, but it's pretty inoffensive.
Im sure there is a ton of lore about the Yautja but the fact I even know they are called that is honestly too much. Predator stories work best with their race being a relative mystery. Any time they try to delve deeper it ends up taking away from the series rather than add to it. We dont need or want a predator cinematic universe even if you think you might right now.
They are better. They are a solid 3/10 compared to this weak 2/10
I went and saw it opening day.
Shane owes me a lot more than a refund.
thats what killed aliens
I think Brody did okay but another lead, someone like Gerald Butler or something would have fit better
Also had the movie come out just a few years later when every series was doing the whole reboot/sequel/remake combo movie it probably would have been a bigger hit
Ppl are rediescovering this movie. I've always liked it just fine. the 3rd in the now establlished cannon classic trilogy. Everything after was lets face it shit.
P1 > P2 > Predators > AVP2 > AVP > Prey > The Predator
That's not at all what killed Aliens. Alien 3 is what killed Aliens. The comics and games did a good job ignoring that shitty turd and keeping the series alive. But allowing Ridley to start making pretend prequels (actually reboots with nothing to do with Alien) killed it again.
These both made me genuinely laugh which is more than I can day for most shit these days. Hollywood doesn’t touch comedy anymore, even if small bits like these don’t retract from the movie because the premise is already silly. Brody was fine. He’s fucked up looking but not a bad actor imo.
Luv Goggins, simple as
Except Fishburne's arc was good and did at plenty. Hunting can't carry the whole movie. It gets tired and can only take up an hour at most. Exploring the environment, finding there are other survivors, and understanding how they lasted as long as they did adds complexity to the story as well as demonstrates the limits and capabilities of the hunters. It also allows the team to face an unexpected challenge and to get skills/tech to fight back that they otherwise wouldn't have.
Am i the only one who prefers this movie to anything else in the franchise?
P1>P2>POWER GAP>Prey>AVP>AVPR>The predator>predators
Yes, my beautiful little unicorn. You are singularly unique in that respect and we all love you more for it.
Yes.
You should probable talk to your doctor about getting a CAT scan.
Severely underrated Predator movie and light years ahead of the slop we are currently getting. Very, very good movie with an extremely high repeat watch value. A ton of good actors, all the characters are interesting, etc. It's a perfect ending of the Predator trilogy.
No. There are plenty of other retards
oh and Brody did really well in the role, all of them did.
Freindly autistic dog predator hybrids are better because I hate Whocares McJewnose
Look at this man, look at him and laugh
fishburne was necessary for the race war. somebody had to drop the exposition bomb between the old pred and the new preds.
foreman, not so much. his mystery was being hyped throughout movie, only to just get turned into a bomb trap minutes after betraying. his betrayal timing didn't even make sense.
its easily 2nd best after the OG
Bad is better than bad and jewish
Dr. Topher was there to demonstrate that in contrast to the strong badasses who know how to think like Predators, this guy actually THINKS he's a Predator. He even dies asking the super predator to help him because he's "one of them", contrasting what the Predators were trying to do by baiting the team with Machete. That's why he betrayed them and wanted to stay, because he's a transhuman scumbag psycho and that's basically why he kills people, and perceives his similarity with the alien hunters with pride rather than caution.
hitler was trans
all i remember from this piece of shit is morpheus doing a 180 and becoming insane and eric forman trying to rape that brazilian chick in the middle of getting hunted by predators
their equivalent of pic related was never overthrown by the ywte space crackas
nobody (you) should take seriously is shitting on it. its a great flic and on par with pred 1 and 2 paying homage to them while expanding the lore in a reasonable way
