Predators: A Review
Surprisingly this movie is good. It starts with action and ends with a lot more action. There isn’t much development in terms of the characters but the story itself and being in the Predator mythos made it okay. Predators is a fitting sequel to the original Predator series (not AVP). It also leads room for another one. For those who thought Adrian Brody wouldn’t be a good lead role, think again. I was one of them. Skepticism was at its worst and to be honest I didn’t expect much. His role and anti-hero was surprisingly played well and for the concept, it worked well. The beginning of the movie shows groups of people being plummeted down on parachutes and the action starts. Predators get revealed along the way, and an all out battle ensues amongst human and predator. Sadly Laurence Fishburne does have a small role in it (8-10 minutes of total screen time). Nimrod Antal does fit the environment of the first Predator to this one very well. We are essentially misdirected, but in a good way. I highly recommend it and if you’re looking for a well contrived plot that transcends character development and story development, you won’t find it. If you’re looking for a good sequel to the Predator franchise, then you’ll find it within the first five minutes onward.
Also, just a reminder that San Diego Comic Con 2010 will happen in three days and will last through the weekend. I will send updates as I get them throughout the conference.
