Movie Reviews of Predators
Movie Review: Does the Predator franchise proud
Summary: 5 Stars
A very good entertaining solid action film. You knew with Robert Rodriguez and a very capable director Nimrod Antal, you knew this be good. The plot and story is pretty thin but then again so was the plot of the original Predator film.
The good thing about the film starting off is that obviously you don't need to have watched the first film to watch this. Originally Robert and Nimrod said this was a "sequel". It doesn't quite fit the bill as a sequel as it only briefly mentions the events of the first film and that's about it, but that don't matter.
So anyways, the plot of the film about a group of selected "participants" who arrive on a planet inhabited by the Predators works well largely to the great cast, tension, slow buildup, and eventually the action scenes that we come to expect.
The script is good enough to give us a taste of every character though some characters stick out more than others obviously.
Adrian Brody has the lead as the mercenary "Royce" while Alice Braga is a nice supporting character in Isabella. Rounding out the cast is Topher Grace as a doctor who doesn't quite belong here with the other targets. Walton Goggins, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Trejo, Oleg Taktaro all have nice parts in the film.
I think the character development is good enough. I mean this obviously supposed to a survival horror type of action film, so we weren't going to get a lot, but you know they picked the characters to expand and the ones that they did expand were good choices such as Fishburne's Noland character. He doesn't have a big part, but gives you the idea of what's it like to be a survivor among the Predators. Adrian has a big enough part obviously as the lead to portray part of his hired gun persona.
I liked the slow buildup, Nimrod and the writers for the film don't show off the Predators right of the bat instead have us gradually becoming aware of the presence as the targets are knocked off. Then from there the action scenes and tension are pulled really well, and the cast for the film is perfect.
Then once the action is halted, Robert and Nimrod know when to take a break, and then the characters cope with the situation.
This was a very well polished action movie.
There were a couple of big names and some other names that while they be recognized "big" actors are all actors with a lot experience.
The script also has a lot of memorable scenes and quotes like Laurence's "You talk to loud", and "I am the one that got away, the one you **beep** with".
Some people mentioned they were afraid about the casting, and some of the choices. For me, I didn't Adrian could pull of the lead, but after reading interviews with him from the directors and how he wanted the role.
All in all a great film for Predator fans.
