Prey aka Predator 5 (Dan Trachtenberg)

You forgot Kramer!

Predalien v poohalien

That could actually work.

We have seen elements of The Predator as the good guy in Alien vs Predator and Predators.

Im looking forward to this now.

Red Band trailer for a new animated Predator Anthology movie. Out June 16th

That looks very promising.

One of the trophy skulls on the ship at the start looks like one from another franchise (not Alien). The idea of a predator running amok on their home world or on one of their hive stations is gas.

There's really just one good Predator movie and that's the first one.

Everything else has been a futile exercise (to various levels) in trying to recapture lightning in a bottle. This sequel looks to be no different.

Worryingly they seem to be trying to rehash

The upcoming animated series looks far more interesting to me.

Era nobody knows what they actually want. Ultimately people just want things that are good. If this thing is good, people will like it. If it's bad they won't.

I can always appreciate a bit of swing in a new direction though, making the predator the protagonist. we'll see how they handle it.

Looks Interesting but then again i liked AvP and Predators so my taste is outside the norm

Very difficult to capture the magic of the first Predator, watching it for the first time the Predator is this mysterious creature, and the film builds to his reveal and the climatic fight with Dutch, who survives but doesn't really win. All subsequent Predator films suffer from the lack of mystery around the Predator which is simply impossible to replicate.

Obviously without the original Predator film the other Predator films don't get made, but, not sure any of the other films would by themselves had led to subsequent films, even Prey which is the best of the subsequent films probably on it's own wouldn't have led to a sequal, the franchise is still living off and trying to recapture the magic of the first film.

Having said all that I have enjoyed most of the films in the franchise for different reasons, the quality has varied wildly; Predator and Prey are clearly the best of the bunch. Will be interesting to see what the new film brings, hopefully they keep the plot simple ( like Predator and Prey) and not too convoluted.

I would put Prey as third with the first and second films taking the respective top spots. I always had a soft spot for Predator 2, it obviously draws on the trope of heat and conflict from the first and adds a little more to the mythos towards the end without overdoing it.

The second one though was entertaining and a cool concept. On first watch that is a very enjoyable flick, some original ideas, and the last scene is excellent. After that the whole concept became a video game.

Yeah I also like Predators!

I also liked Predators, would be next after Predator and Prey. Haven't seen Predator 2 in ages, from memory it was OK, but, I remember it being a big letdown compared to the original at the time.

Danny Glover was no substitute for Arnie.

Terribly miscast in the film.
