Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The latest installment in the Predator franchise. This has to be the best film I've seen all year. Even better than The Batman. It is wonderful to see a native American influence in the franchise again. One of the characters is Raphael Adolini. This is the name inscribed on the flintlock pistol that Harrigan is given as a trophy in Predator 2. As Jesse Ventura tweeted, Amber Midthunder ain't got time to bleed. Very highly recommended. The only criticism that I have is that the film is only 100 minutes long. It should have been 107. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder17 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Agreed , fantastic film. Makes all the others look really poor in comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Not wanting to be the voice of dissent here, but I thought it "watchable" only. Certainly won't be one I'll be watching again, anytime soon. Chris. Edited August 31, 2022 by spruecutter96 Correcting a typo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 But you've got to admit it was far better than any of the AVP offerings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staring at a blank wall for two hours would be preferable to watching the AVP movies. They were a pile of dog's eggs, pure and simple. Two great opportunities, utterly wasted.

In no hurry to put it on again though, unlike the original Predator which still remains great after many, many repeated viewings:) And to be highly controversial, I LIKED AvP..... (... but not the 2nd AvP...) Edited September 14, 2022 by IanHx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 We watched it and it’s “okay”, unfortunately the tension is blown by the baddy being revealed way too early. A pity really, as it’s beautifully filmed in fantastic locations, the actors perform well and it seems to be set in its period convincingly (ignoring the sci-fi element!).

Mike Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I quite enjoyed it, although I wouldn't put it in the 100 best films category. It was nice to see it going back to the old ways, using practical effects where they were able, as long as it looked realistic. I watched Amber Midthunder in another movie about ice road trucking with Liam Neeson's nose in it. She was good in that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Mr. Leeson's nose possess "a very particular sets of skills" in this movie? The British public need to be made fully aware of these things... Chris.
