Re: Predators (Antal, 2010) — The Reviews Thread

Thanks for the review. Looks like I can push my skepticism to the side. I'll be watching this at the drive-in anyway so I'd only be out a few bucks if I hated it (which I probably won't).

Re: Predators (Antal, 2010) — The Reviews Thread

Is it just me, or was the review a bit spoilerish (it sounded like it, from the pre-review line about Laurence Fishburne's character)? I stopped reading after the first couple of lines because I didn't want to find out more than I should about the film. But I love the Predator franchise and have movie cash for the film, so nothing will stop me from seeing it.

I've been seeing commercials for it about 5 times a day for the past three weeks.

I've seen plenty of ads for this the last few weeks.

The Rotten Tomatoes score is sitting at 77% with 31 reviews in.

Re: Predators (Antal, 2010) — The Reviews Thread

Saw this today and loved it!
It has alot of musical cues from the first film amongst other nods (I actually thought there was gonna be another one to the 2nd movie but that didn't work out the way i thought). the cast do work really well together. Some great humor is in there (perhaps a little too much for me) but Walton is great.

The Predators were well designed and moved really well, the best I have seen so far.
Will not add anymore but this is a great return to the series.

Roger Ebert wasn't impressed.

Re: Predators (Antal, 2010) — The Reviews Thread

Saw it about 7 hours ago. But for once, the time difference works out as a plus!

I don't think I could buy this on BD. For me I don't think I could watch it too many times. But what I saw I liked alot!

and yet everyone here raved about 'The A Team' and I was rather non-plussed by it, since this is actually rated R and has some gore, I'll probably be more entertained.

I've no idea actually. I just...noticed that he was gone at that time..and after that his status was legend around here. *sigh* 2 hrs. and rated R..meant it was worth watching. And animated films weren't....films. He had some form of elitist type beliefs there.

Re: Predators (Antal, 2010) — The Reviews Thread

prob someone complained about his trolling jobs

If the run time of the Social Network is correct (and its R rated) he'd be in heaven

Re: Predators (Antal, 2010) — The Reviews Thread

All I've seen are clips and trailers yet I already know Ebert didn't pay attention (as he'll often do with films he's not interested in seeing or just plain doesn't like):

The last thing they remember is a blinding flash of light. Now they're in free fall, tumbling toward the surface, screaming, grabbing for ripcords on the parachutes that they didn't know they had.
One of the Adrian Brody clips shows that the parachutes are clearly automated.
