Movie Review: Predators (2010)

One thing is for sure about this movie. It is not as good as the first one (Arnold), or the 2nd one (Danny Glover) for that matter. From the looks of it, this was made to act as a quick way to make a buck off of a dying brand.

Plot: Eight People wake up in freefall, parachuting down into a jungle. (Much like the one from Predator 1) None of them know how they got there or why. All they know is that they should probably stick together to survive. They eventually run into some mutated pig-type animals with multiple tusks coming out of their head. Basically you could do the math here. All but a few die and the humans prevail over the predators. The end~

Despite the predictability of this movie, there were a lot of funny parts. At one point the Hero of the film is face to face with a big, bad boy yelling out, “Come here! I’m here! Come get me! Kill me now!” JUST like Arnold in the first movie. I laughed and then laughed some more.

Surprisingly, with his career dying apparently, Lawrence Fishburn makes a very odd cameo as the traditional “bad-ass who has learned to survive and live off what he can” type character. He tries to double cross the survivors and ends up dying. I feel like I’m giving too much away but seriously, just by looking at the DVD Menu, I could have told you everything that happens in this movie.

Very predictable and poor quality. Luckily, this was free so no harm done to my wallet or self-esteem.
