I’m not going to lie. A lot of you sound delusional about what the Predator franchise is. You guys act like it’s some deep thought out franchise with nuance. Predator (1987) was a fluke lightning in a bottle film. While I enjoy every film after they’re all lazy not very thought out cash grabs. Predator 2 was lazy, AvP/Requiem are dumpster fires, Predators was more of the original but not as good or charming, and The Predator was a straight to VHS ScyFy original. I love them all and watch them from time to time. The problem with this franchise is that much of the good shit is comic/book form. I love the Concrete Jungle game but the story is worse than The Predator. Hollywood doesn’t have the stomach to take a risk on connecting a Predator with the comics/books because the general public won’t know or care what’s happening and the movie will flop.
Again, I love this franchise but at the moment there is no way I can see them making a great film that will attract audiences and get the franchise on it’s feet again. I’m happy Disney is doing something with the franchise and am eagerly awaiting the next installment but NO ONE should be holding their breath for it to be a good film. Especially if Tarantino is directing… great director but not for a sci fi action/thriller.
