Honestly, this review is very special for me, because, when i think about it, i can't recall another occasion, when i wrote a review, without seeing the rate of the movie.So as my first time, i have to say, that i don't need a side opinion, because this movie was the best sequel to an Alien or a Predator movie, maybe, reaching the heights of James Cameron's Aliens.Robert Rodriguez sure raised the bar with this third installment, although, a lot of time was needed to do so.
Adrien Brody does a good Arnie role, adding a little more darkness to the character.And he worked out a lot, it's obvious.And in one thing, Predators is stronger even than the Arnie-driven original.And that's the development.And for such a movie-a hunting movie, that's very hard.Gamer is a good example of movie, where you just don't give a ... about the characters.And honestly, Predator had an issue of itself, as well.And that i find very good for the installment.
I liked the intensity of the situation as well.I don't know, if it is because i saw the original on tape, but i just was'n feeling it.But this one-i saw it at a small pre-premiere theatre, where one is able to hear even the crew shooting the movie :) And when you hear each and every single footstep, more or less, you stand on the edge of your seat, waiting something to happen.That's why i found it so intense.
Another thing i liked was the Laurence Fishbourne cameo, eclipsed only by the Bill Murray cameo in Zombieland, in recent memory.It was cool, claustrophobic and a little bit crazy, but a needed step into making the movie fresh enough and breaking the atmosphere.
The other were fun to watch as well-Rodriguez's favourite, Danny Trejo, was interesting as ever, although, the little on-screen time for him.The others did a fine job as well, especially Alice Braga and the "unsure" Topher Grace.
Another visually good thing were the flora and fauna at the planet.The special effects were OK, and the predators looked very convincing, and most important, faster than before, although their on-screen time is measurable to Danny Trejo's.The hounds were something cool and new, seeing the movie needed something like this, to pull itself out from the original.
All in all, Robert Rodriguez made an incredibly refreshing movie, memorable and Nimrod Antal shoot it perfectly.Seeing Predator 2 very recently, i think this movie is way better than it's predecessor.
I'm giving it the full note, and i'll see it again with some friends very soon! My grade-10/10
