I concur. It had great lines, damn fine acting, a bigger struggle, and it paid tribute to some of the best moments in the Dark Horse “Predator” comics. Plus, it has Gary Busey!

For me, what made Predator 2 fun was how much it expanded what today we’d call the Predator-verse. Cool new gadgets and weapons, and that awesome trophy wall on his ship with all the different creatures he’d hunted, like humans, an Alien, etc. Made you want to know more about what they were, where and how he got them.
I think the general opinion is that people don’t like them but as an old, I remember when the “general opinion” among the fans was that the prequels were irredeemably bad.
Now that the kids who loved them grew up, they are considered an integral part of the franchise, much helped by things like the Clone Wars that… Read more

When have JJ Abrams mysteries ever paid off? That’s his whole shtick
As wacky and goofy as his ideas for the sequel trilogy sounded, they were honestly more interesting than what we ended up getting. At this point in my life, I’d rather watch something that’s bad but interesting and made out of love than something that is forgettable and made so the CEO can raise the forecasted revenue… Read more
I’m disappointed that at no point did Bugs look at the camera and say “Of course, you know, this means war.”
They can tease a sequel in the mid-end credits with a pan over a blown up Union fort.
Even Predator 2, port the concept to a modern urban setting was a pretty novel take. I just don’t think they’ve really thought the damn thing through since the first film.
It’s not “HEY COOL MONSTER”. The first one worked in large part by dropping monster/slasher movie conventions from horror onto some Swoll Ass 80's… Read more
It’s been a while since I’ve watched the original, but I seem to remember Billy (the Native American member of the team) talking about how his people told stories of a monster that hunted them or something like that. I wonder if this is supposed to reference that idea.
Agreed, wouldn’t a new a weird nature object be the whole point of discovering life on other planets? I’ve been super baffled this entire time that they haven’t gone and checked out this and more that’s been spotted, and just pass it by like “oh well that’s nothing to investigate”. Read more
nature doesn’t usually do straight lines
The Black Bolt costume looked a lot better than the one in the ABC show, but I kinda thought it made Mount look like a scaled-down version of the Tick.
And for me, Caesar
I wanted to enjoy Moon Knight much more than I did. Although its three star were superb, its story wasn’t. I would’ve gladly sacrificed Moon Knight to get Legends of Tomorrow a proper conclusion.
Better yet, how was it not revealed in the afterlife during the balancing of the scales? Marc/Steven might have the third personality so buried that they are unaware of it, but the gods? They’d know. In fact, I fully expected that to be how they revealed the third: “the scales cannot balance until you reconcile your… Read more
