You see, the films that followed wanted to recreate the same magic that worked for the first film. Predator 2 went with the same settings merely replacing the jungle aesthetic with downtown LA. The AVP films brought in a rich culture to Predator lore, albeit lost in translation as they resorted to mimicking the earlier films. Then in 2010, Nimrod Antal’s Predators sort of remade the first film with more grit and gore. So, don’t take me wrong, all these films are damn watchable and might I say, entertaining.
But, are they unique? Do they offer something better or for worse something different? They all peas in a pod, be the same kind of rehashed films overdone by boring writing and underdone by lack of imagination.
