I was pleasantly surprised by this, quite enjoyed it 7/10

I thought he looked odd at first thinking about it him wearing a skull mask was interesting because predator is a trophy hunter. Him actually wearing his trophies makes him seem more formidable.
remember that this was 300 years ago, it was a less evolved predator than the ones you're used to.
Soldato
They kicked the predator quick off the ship

Really good stuff.

That was very enjoyable. I didn't realise the main actor was also in Legion but as soon as I a picture of her in that it was so obvious.

Watching this shortly, going in with very low expectations regardless of the reviews.
Soldato
It is.
That.... Is.... Awesome!

Nice will watch it here now
It's excellent probably 2nd to the original. I personally have a soft spot for Predators.(Adrien Brody) movie.
Did the Predator looked like he was different species. Looked like the bigger more powerful sub species from the Predators movie

They're meant to be a species that takes their hunting ability as possibly their biggest point of pride.
I don't think it's that they don't have the tech, given they've been shown to have been doing this for hundreds/thousands of years (IIRC in AVP it's indicated they've been hunting on earth for something like 5k years), but that they like to have an element of risk in their hunts.
From what I can remember from the various films, comics and books as it's meant to be a test of skill their equipment is adjusted for the occasion, for example the shoulder gun in Predator isn't that much more advanced than the shoulder spear things in Prey (if anything the shoulder spears are arguably more advanced, they're guided reusable micro missiles*) but the spear things are more limited in that you only get 3 shots then you have to retrieve them, so the spear things may be considered "fair" against an enemy that can only use a distance weapon every few seconds, in the same way that human hunters tend to consider it to be skilled to kill a deer with one round.
*My first thought on seeing them was Knife Drone from Iain M Banks' Culture books (small offensive/defensive AI controlled drones, often literally looking like a knife or similar, able to use it's own body offensively and usually armed with other weapons such as micro missiles).

I believe the official reasoning is that it's from a different hemisphere than the ones we're used to. He clearly isn't as classy as our regular breed.

Very average which means it was better than I expected, no way near predator 2 let alone 1
Questionable script, acting and CGI. The dog was the best actor, it was reasonable mindless fun for 90 minutes.

Easily the best bit of the film was the French guys getting offed in different ways
That was............
Fantastic.
Easily the best Predator film since the first one.
I believe a fair few people will be eating humble pie on this one.
Who would have ever thought Pocahontas vs Predator would be one of the best movies I've watched this year.

Yes, I am wondering that, though would be coll to have another film set in say 70 years later in another part of the world, but yea needs to be explinaed how they get it back.
