Have Dewayne Johnson as the main character. make them a rescue team that demolishes a whole group of terrorists or rebels and then let the predator slowly build suspense... Im sure theres a way to incorporate the Pyramids in Giza linked to aliens. You know the predators always around the heat and killing (WELL THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO) A lot of people can connect to the war over there... they connect to our soldiers... Maybe Jon Cena can play a roll as jessie ventura's. As long as they let you connect to each character in their own way so you can feel bad when they die. "im gonna have me some fun... im gonna have me some fun"... Mac and blain were best friends that acted like they were immune to pain, like how blain got shot and didnt have time to bleed, or when mac cut him self shaving on purpose just to ease the tension. Hawkins told the stupid sex jokes and had the nerdy napolean dynamite glasses... poncho was the second in command and stayed right by arnolds side and was educated and sharp with his senses. Billy was the native american tracker that was really spiritual... They just spent a lot more time connecting you and describing each character in detail before you watch them die...

Every thing about this last movie was very apparent they were trying to make everything just like the first one... all the way down to the ending song. Just things they said... If you are a big predator 1 fan, then you sniffed that shit right out as soon as it happend. It just seemed so desperate to recreate a hit like the first one. What made the first Predator so good? It didnt go to extreme lengths to put in major sci fi graphics, it was raw. There was more than one story to the movie, Dillon set them up to help the cia and "cooked up a story and dropped the 6 of us into a meat grinder." It showed the brute force of Arnold how he lifted the truck up just to set off a bomb in the middle of the camp even tho his grenade launcher could have accomplished the same trick. It shows that Arnolds team is the best they could find that the 6 of them can beat a whole force of south americans. The predator picks them off one at a time and it builds suspense. After Arnold figures out how to beat it shows all the cool setting up of traps...((now i know everyone my age was in their backyard setting up traps all over the place after seeing that shit)) Then arnold is the biggest smartest strongest man of his team and the whole back half of the movie is arnold turning the tables on that son of a bitch and getting his payback. The predator looks REAL. The Jaws open in a real manner. The mask doesnt look perfectly airbrushed. Then arnold beats hit by himself. The first Predator movie wasnt about Predators... It was about Arnolds Character beating an alien. The same goes for the second predator with Danny Glover. It was a story within a story, he was a cop fighting gangs and the predator just shows up... The Predators movie just picks actors and says they are the best fighters, just believe it. it dont show you why they were considered the best, it doesnt let you connect to the characters. The only character that i liked was the asian guy that kills that one predator... best part of the whole movie. JUST BECAUSE it shows his skill far more than the rest, people can assume hes good with the katana, its believable. It shows how he sinks in the mud with his shoes but he can stand on top of the mud with his bare feet, giving you the idea that hes "ninja like".. I guarantee you that the asian guy was the most liked character of the new movie.

It wasn't his acting ability... it was pretty much because he was a ripped well trained major in the army that could very well be the ultimate man.. Mr. Universe.. who else? Of course Commando, Terminator, and Conan helped us connect with his character in predator considering those were hot movies and everyone looked up to Arnold. Why is it that hard for movie directors to understand? I wouldnt suggest John Cena because hes just a wrestler with crappy movies. Maybe Dewayne Johnson could pull it off just because his movie history and how big he is. Jet li wouldnt fit the description of the character we would want to see... Hes too small.. We want to see someone that could put up the raw man power to slug it out with a predator. If the predator hit Jet li one time, Jet is done for. Big name actors these days wouldnt join the cast just unless they went back to the drawing board and recreated the whole movie. Otherwise Christian Bale would sound good saying "you're one ugly mother fucker." I know hes not a big guy but we can connect better to his character because hes a great actor. If directors insist to use a smaller man for the lead roll... i would say go with Bear Grylls. He knows how to survive in the jungle Ok I think we can all agree that the one thing that all the Predator sequels are lacking is a main character that can be Arnold Schwarzeneggar’s equal.

I didn't think the movie could ever work on another planet. We need the location to be Earth to ground the story more or people can't relate to it. I also agree that the story and Brody's character have fizzled out at this point. We'll probably see another reboot soon - hopefully no sequel. Are you looking forward to any other movies this summer? I hear the Expendables might be good. Calvin,

Kindergarten bullshit just as i had expected. everything is made very obvious not like the first Predator movie where i had to watch he movie 4 times just to get the depth of it and even today when i watch it it still goes deeper . a bunch of slack jawed faggots I am extremely disappointed .The AvP movies fare much beter than this quickly made garbled shit. this is the worst movie in the franchise. Also the worst science fiction movie within the last 2 decades. shit story Wikipedia states the film grossed 103 million. i dont think so....... And whoever said the movies about muscles. And for all sakes thats the last freakin thing i noticed in the first predator movie Robert rodriguez should retire Also read a sequels coming up with brody back in it Absolute garbage. And a sequel, wouldnt be interested in it. Its all fizzled out This movie isnt even a movie that i can comment on it or make a critic statement or even recommend on how it could could have been better. Months since i posted my first message

The Duke is absolutely correct. Yes, i did see this garbage with an open mind. what is it with everyone wanting to see Trejo, he's a loser beaner who plays the exact same part in every movie including all three dusk till dawns??? Predators is a bunch of slack jawed faggots, strewn together by some spy kids producer who didnt have enough money for a real cast. Now theyve made another shitty sequel to a franchise doomed to B directors and C movies Adrian Brody is a flamer and has the biggest nose in Hollywood. The Duke is absolutely correct.

In reality, soldiers are tough but not huge, as the size makes them slow. Muscle power means nothing in an age of guns and explosions. The weapons do all the killing. All big muscles will do is make someone slower and an easy target. Having seen the movie, Brody does a great job of portraying the role, and the characters are a lot more realistic than the muscle-bound sausage fest the first movie was.

I kept an open mind....at first. Then I heard Adrien Brody talk and I just had to giggle because he sounded ridiculous! He was intentionally lowering his voice to be tough to the point where he sounds like the nerdy kid who moves to a new school and tries to change his persona. My boyfriend and I shared a quick "wtf?!" glance and got back to serious to try to enjoy the movie. Never quite got back into it though. And wth was up with the kid from "That 70's show"? Not nearly enough explanation for his character. Liked-Asian guy (Now he was effin bad ass) Disliked-not enough interaction with the actual "Predators" and too much interaction with undeveloped characters Nutshell-Started off semi-decent and spiraled into the black hole of where sequels go to die... Recommendation-wait until it's on TBS. Just saw the movie because my boyfriend realllly wanted to go. I kept an open mind….at first.

The predator is made of testosterone and lightning this is crap, brody cant pull off to be a hardass alien killer, the russian guy looked like he would start crying any minute and the woman love interest was just lame AND loveinterests have no place in this kinda movie, if i wanna watch crap like that i would go watch Bridges over madison county. Fuck me Brockback mountain was even more macho then this crap. Only semi-interesting character was Edwin but he turned out to be a dissapointment too with his "oooh im a predator oooh im evil oooh" lame ass pussy would not stand 2 sec vs a predator. Lets face it there are no real actionheroes anymore :/ This movie was complete and utter shit.
