PREDATORS

Predators is a pretty deceit attempt to bring it back...there r no real surprises in this one, alot of the same ol same ol....but don't get me wrong i wasn't disappointed..

This installment has a very oddly picked cast i believe due to being directed by Robert Rodriquez(Spy Kids, Desperado and the upcoming Machete). This one stars Academy award winner Adrien Brody(King Kong, The Pianist)Which was a unbelieveible performance of the cool tuff bad ass army guy sent to control everyone with his coolness and tuff man words..(which i must say is the only reason why this movie is rated R..they had to beef up Adrian Brody to make him seem more lead manish "drop those F bombs Brody they'll love that") and i almost bought into it all until he had to take off his shirt...ok im sorry but this didnt make Adrian any manlier..it reminded me of the kid back in high school that weight in at a whole 70 lbs and took the height to 6'7''.. you know the one you used to call STRINGBEAN..the kid that always got picked for skins when playing basketball and because he was so skinney he had to puff up and cuss alot out on the court just to look cool ....Topher Grace(That 70's Show,Spiderman 3) who gave the overall best performance as a dorky doctor in the wrong place at the wrong time (always gotta have that one)Lawrence Fishburne(Matrix, Apocalypse Now)in his absolute laziest...DUDE ..Lawerence what r u doing ? did you quit acting in the middle somewhere?? jesus i know ten years that could do a better performance ..hope u got paid S.A.G. for that... and Danny Trejo(Spy Kids, Desperado)doing exactly what Danny does best...the scary angry mexican guy...and totally kicks ass doing it...the acting was overall 50/50..couple pointless characters that are obvious marked men..like the silent ninja warrior who spoke about five full sentences..but has one of the best fight scenes in the movie...and only one girl in this one, Alice Braga(Crossing Over, I am Legend)whom i think was picked because Michelle Rodriquez was busy already..
It takes place on the PREDATORS game planet..in which rapists, ex-cons, crooked military men and other wrong do-ers are dropped off by parachute on some strange planet, in some strange alien jungle, left to fight to survive while being hunted by the PREDATORS , a plot that has been done numerous times i.e. Condemned, Surviving the Game, AVP..the special effects are just as good as ever...with a few new suprise critters..lil JURASSIC PARKISH with their pointless imagery..
This one is for the die hard fans only or for the guys day out with their boys..if i had taken the wife she would have complained of boredom of having to sit thru this rushed predictible film...and i would somewhat agree, but it was on the other hand very entertaining..the stress factor has worn off alot but its still fun to watch it all play out..im dying for PREDATOR VS. JASON...the film has some clever tie-ins to other great Tarantino/Rodriquez films which also made it kinda fun...but listen close..

MCFUNKYFRIED IT..
3.5 OUTTA 5 STARS

THIS ONES ALL FOR THE GUYS, TOTALLY AND THE GIRLS WHO'LL TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM AND LET THE GUY PICK THE MOVIE...
