In the Predator series? Obviously the original Predator is best, I like this second best. And in third would be Predator 2. I think all the rest of them and most likely including the next upcoming entry in this series are total trash, unwatchable crap. Just money grabs.
share1. Predator - Goes without question.
2. Predator 2 - Quite underrated. A decent follow up.
3. Predators - Not great but presents an interesting take and has a good cast.
I pretty much stop caring about the rest. I guess maybe I'd put this 4th, and then a toss up between the other 2 as to which comes 5th and last.
I like Predator and Predator 2 and, even though it's not a great film and is disappointing in some ways, I do think that AVP is kind of fun.
Predators was bland and forgettable. The Predator started out okay but lost its way about halfway through and never recovered. AvP 2 is complete shit.
I'm hoping that Prey will at least be fun popcorn entertainment even if it's not an action classic like the original film.
I'd probably rank this third.
The original takes top spot comfortably. Predator 2 has it's strong points but I've never really taken to it, still I reckon it just about beats out AVP.
Predators would take fourth place. It's alright.
The Predator was silly, I didn't care for it.
AVP: Requiem is one I need to revisit...but don't want to. Didn't like it at all when I first saw it, I remember all the criticisms about how dark it was and how chaotic the editing was were sadly 100% true. That's my only memory of it. Very dark and chaotic, hard to understand whats happening during the action...that and the Xeno-Predator hybrid thing.
I remember being quite disappointed by Predator 2 the first time I saw it. I think I was put off by how different it was from the first film. I revisited it a few years ago and, perhaps nostalgia for the early 90s played some part of it, but I had a lot more fun with it than I did the first time.
As for AvP: Requiem, no, I really don't think you need to revisit it. Your memory is correct: It DOES suck. I remember it was being hyped for being rated R when AvP was only PG-13, but the rating really didn't help the movie much. It ended up being a greatly inferior movie to its predecessor.
Frankly it's not as good as Predator 1, 2, or the third predator. I'll definitlry put it above the 4th predator.
