Predators

After 20 years, Predators get a sequel.

My husband and I just wanted to go see a movie, and when we looked at the cinema list, we just picked whatever looked like it wasn’t a kids movie.

We didn’t know who was in it, and it wasn’t till the opening credits that I realized that Robert Rodriguez produced Predators.

I used to love Robert Rodriguez. His first movies were fantastic. Then he had kids and let them write his scripts… I lost faith in him for a while. I stopped going to see his films. So it was probably a good thing I didn’t know he had made this before hand. I will say though, that Predators has restored by love for Rodriguez. This movie is back to his action packed best. There’s lots of blood and gore, without it being too gruesome. There’s plenty of twists in the script to keep you guessing.It wasn’t directed by Rodriguez however, that was left to Nimrod Antal.

After seeing Predator versus Alien I wondered if there was going to be a test to see if these guys could all get along, but nope, they’re all just bait. They group includes elite military mercenaries, a rapist on death row, a Japaneze Yakuza, Mexican Mafia and a psychopath. The Predator costumes are great. They didn’t change them up from the original or give them some kind of overhaul. I hate it when movies do that.

Each character battles their own personal demons while battling the Predator.

There’s some bad reviews out there for Predators, but my husband and I really enjoyed it.
