The pacing of this movie was really great. From the surprisingly good cinematography and establishing shots, to the animal scenes, to the introduction of the trappers and the final battles. I think this is probably going to go down as the second best in the series.
I dont understand how anyone could say predator 2 was garbage. One of my fav action movies. Too many dope characters. Had the same feel as first that theyve never been able to recapture.
Predator vs king willie > every predator film cept the first.
The predator took out each animal in the style of each.
He got on all 4s to kill the wolf
Went head up with the bear
He only shot arrows when the indians shot arrows
Only used more high tech weapons when surrounded with guns
If anything I thought this was a more honorable predator than usual.
This was a good one. Predator tanked a whole lot of damage through the entire movie before being taken down but went out swinging. Predator got a spear put through his foot, then a bear trap, blasted in the back of the head, got a spear put through him, numerous lacerations, lost an arm, jaw broken, quick sand and then had to fight someone he couldn't see (the plant she ate made her body cold).
What does it for me with this movie and what makes the first two so great though is the first half. The 2nd half of these movies are about the actual confrontation/battle, but it's all about the build-up that does it. This was the first movie since the first two to get that 100% right.
If anything they could have prolonged or drawn that first half out for a little longer: maybe make her and her tribe come across some of their hunters who've been killed. They got it right with some of the animals on some "What could have done this?" but seeing that happen to other humans brings that sense of danger to another level. I can't even complain about it though because that was the first time in decades somebody got that vibe right.
First two Predator movies > Prey >> the rest. Like another breh said, finally got the trilogy this series deserved. Top Gun: Maverick and Prey went 2/2 to me and were my biggest anticipations this year.
