Great to see all of the positive reviews on here....except for the few history buffs fact checking the type of trees, dirt, face paint used.
I loved it...after watching once I was like "I think I could rewatch that one again and again". I rank it #2 after the OG movie. Even the wife got into it and has never seen the other movies.
The movie really tied in well with the Predator characteristics we have seen in other movies, and we got to see the first Predator hunt
It learned and adapted....started with small prey then moved up to challenge itself
It fought with the same style/weapons that it's opponent used...to keep it a "fair" fight even though his weapon was far superior
Hand to hand with bear which was fuking bad ass. Wish it was longer.
Started using small arrows and a spear when fighting Comanches.
Dude had a lot of tech on him esp when fighting the French assholes.
It was a rookie because it took a lot of hits and would become rattled at times....OG Predator was a lot more stealth and less sloppy at times. But they are still beatable because "if it bleeds, then it can be killed" f ya.
Also Naru was learning and adapting throughout the film also....and she eventually leveled up to be a hunter also.
I wanted to see more Comanche fight scenes.
The pistol add-in was great. In the credits there are animated sketches....looks like the Predator gang shows up. I am assuming they come to collect his body and maybe the pistol is given to the Predators as a symbol of human's latest "tech" to study? Or maybe they just wipe out the tribe and take the pistol..?
