I enjoyed it. I didn't watch it in Commanche, MsH, because that was a dub and I found it a bit distracting. I never watch dubs

I also watched this in English and really enjoyed it. I think having one predator and leaving aside all the boring lore is the way to go.
My only complaint (and it's a complaint I have about a lot of movies) is that all of the CGI animals looked bad and CGI blood sucks too.

There was something wrong with that bear. I don't think bears are so out of control that they just attack anything they see. Bears are pretty placid animals, generally. If you just leave them alone to eat their fish and garbage, they won't go out of their way to mess with you.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This was surprisingly good. Loved the camerawork and the pacing... hardly a slow moment in it. I also really like how the main character was developed and behaved, felt much more natural and mature than a lot of female 'action' leads recently (*cough* Marvel *cough*).

i liked it enough. Hated the cgi really.
Everything with her and the tribe felt cheap and boring, but the action and hunting scenes were great, right there with the best of the franchise.
The Predator felt huge and menacing again, great work there, specially after the awful use of it on the previous movie.
Overall, i had fun and this one should have gone to the theatre instead.
I can believe that some of the animals would act in unnatural ways because they sensed there was a heckin space alien in their ecosystem

There was definitely something wrong with that bear. The cgi there wasn’t great, and it seemed like it had rabies or something. The mountain lion wasn’t great, either. Overall though, it was a fun watch. Not sure I buy how it went down, Predator looked a bit weak, honestly. But it was worth the watch.

Rewatching The Predator this evening. The pieces of a great movie are all there but feel like they’re in the hands of amateur filmmakers.

Looks like a hoot. I will miss the Native American Indian presence from Prey, but it's nice to see that Weyland-Yutani logo again.

I love that one with Adrian Brody but Prey was wretched.
