    I love how people cry about the realism of science fiction movies. There is NO WAY a guy like Brody could kill a predator!!!!!!!!

    Its a science fiction movie. Suspend disbelief for awhile.

    I liked the movie! I think these Predator movies will continue to be good as long as the producers don't screw things up by having the predators have emotions and start liking humans!

    This monster/horror/sci-fi fan really wishes they'd spend more energy coming up with fresh concepts and new ideas.
    Enough of the sequels, how about new movies FFS?

    Seen it yesterday. Not very good.

    If I had to put a point on it, it would be a lack of action and pathetic combat scenes. Laurence Fishburne's character would have been better left out of the script. The whole Predator vs Super-Predator Blood Feud business was never fleshed out or taken advantage of.

    Most of the time, I appreciate the viewer's perspective being the character's perspective. By that, I mean they know nothing, therefore you know nothing as the viewer. Problem with that form of filming is that we do know even though they dont.

    So I have expectations attached to Predators, how they fight, how they hunt, etc. Perfect example...

    *SPOLIER ALERT*


    *SPOILER ALERT*

    ...

    When the Super-Predator fights the enslaved Predator that Brody frees to fly the ship. That was just...tough to watch. It ing sucked, very anti-climactic and horribly under-served.

    The Yakuza fight was more gratifying than that. The two basically bear hug each other back and forth for all of 2 mins. That is not what I think of when I imagine the most iconic alien species in fiction engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Horribly, Aliens vs Predator actually did the Predator species more justice in actual combat scenes. Read that again.

    **END SPOLIER**

    This movie is fine to watch when its free on cable. Paying for it, I feel ripped off.

    I suspend disbelief for every movie I go to, and my criticism has nothing to do with suspending disbelief. You might as well not watch a movie if you can't suspend disbelief that aliens kidnap people and put them on their planet to hunt.

    My criticism stems from what has been laid out before in previous movies. I'm only holding it to the standards set before it.

    I bet if they had a Predator break dancing in the movie, you'd still tell me to suspend disbelief because it's science fiction after all.

    You have all convinced me to save my money, stay home, put some popcorn in the microwave, and watch the original in all it's glory.

    Good movie. It's one of those great summer action movies where you don't have to worry about the plot and just have fun with the action.

    *SPOLIER ALERT*

    I don't care that Brody was the main character, the guy got ripped and he put a beating on that preadator.

    The Yakuza fight was great, the crowd cheered at the end, it was what was hinted at in the orginal with Billy but now we got to see it.

    Predator dogs and Fishburne were lame but they didn't last to long so its all good.

    You actually summed it up the best.

    I feel that there was too many things in this movie that were corny, and they tried too hard to make it an awesome movie.. that it just killed it.

    I would've rather watched Toy Story 3


    Also...


    **Spoiler**


    What was with the whole mud thing? Why didn't the group use the mud right after they were told it helped against they're heat sensor vision thing?

    That just didn't make sense, the fact that they saved it until the end kind of sickened me.

    I saw this movie and it was good but I still missed Arnold. As a matter of fact the best part was when someone yelled out "Run!! Go!! Get to da Choppa!!" as someone was fleeing. Everyone was laughing and smiling.
    Cool story, bro.

    I have never been to a theater where anyone has clapped, cheered, laughed out loud or booed at an inanimate screen.

    Must be a regional thing, as in people from Michigan dont do that ...ever.

    That's the point. There is no "hint" of it in the original. The whole Yakuza sword fight makes it seem like it's an even match, when clearly from the earlier films it's not. Not even close. That's what has disappointed me since AvP.

    If they actually followed the "story" of the Predators, they'd see that one guy with a sword is no match for a Predator and would die in seconds, as happened in the first film. It seems in this one they just wanted a "cool" fight scene.

    They'll never make the Predator movies now as good as they should be. The first two set a standard that the subsequent movies can't even dream living up to, I'll even say the second one didn't live up to the first one, but to be fair sequels rarely do.

    broke down and saw it yesterday afterall...

    I enjoyed the movie. I also enjoyed predator 2 though.

    So this one is the true Part 3, imo.

    I thought it was nicely done, and although there wasn't much room for character development, I like how your in the action from the beginning.

    Definite must see for Predator fans.

    Honestly, I cant remember the last comedy movie I have seen in a theater. But tbh, obivously what I said about laughing out loud probably isnt true when taken to its fullest extent.

    What I meant by my comment was that I personally have never been to a movie and been a part of a crowd that cheers, boos or applauds at inanimate movie screens.

    I should have left "laugh out loud" out of the equation.
