Movie Review: Predators

Predators is yet another sequel in the Predator franchise first begun in 1987 with the Arnold Schwarzenegger film of the same name, and if you haven’t seen that one yet, get out from under your rock. You will, however, be excused for having not seen the millions of sequels put out since the first film, most namely, Alien Vs. Predator.

Anyway, the latest installment is about a group of miscreants who are shipped off to a planet where the Predators hunt them in a sort of lame game that’s been done a million times in a million other sci-fi films. I think you can see where this review is going.

The Good:

Honestly, the only good thing was Adrien Brody and his super-ripped body, and I’ll give kudos to cameos by Danny Trejo (soon the be seen in the up-coming Machete, which I’ve been waiting for for years) and by Laurence Fishburne. That’s about it for this section so NEXT…

The Bad:

What WASN’T bad about this movie?! The acting was overdone, the writing was terrible, even the special effects didn’t do it for me, and they’re usually what save my reviews from being totally in opposition of the films they’re in. The plot line was absolutely predictable, and without giving anything away, if you dare to spend $12 to see the movie, you’ll know exactly what I mean. I give this movie 1/5 and the only reason I won’t give it less is because nothing could be worse then when one of my friends once dragged me to see Barber Shop 2 for her 15th birthday.
