I have a Copy of the Governors Edition lol  (Arnold and Jesse both Governors )

Will say they are set up for Prey 2.... if they want to do it..  as the Predators need to come collect that pistol.

And Prey did get all the 1 liners in there except the choppa. (Cause you know no choppas yet)      So they could remake almost remake the Predator musical.

Why do I get the feeling that the Predators come to collect the MC from Prey and she travels with them. That would make a ridiculous, but cool movie.

I wish I had never watched Cinemasins and other critical reviewers as they have shot what used to be an incredible suspension of disbelief.

Over all I would rank it somewhere with Predator 2 as 2nd best movie in the franchise.

My main gripes with this movie was the final fight. We've seen how ridiculously fast and strong the predator is. Strength from knocking a bear out with one punch. Speed from the Lost World tall grass running sequence where he ran down the two of them. They could have easily cut that fight better to include more traps and ways for her to screw with or slow down the Predator, but she ended up in multiple scenarios where the Predator could have and should have easily killed her. 

Only thing I would say to counter that was an issue with him not being able to see her because she took the magic blood cooling flower thing ahead of the fight, but he still got his hands on her. I also hated the shield and rock sequence. I seriously doubt it would be that easy to rip off one of a predators mandible things.

Alas. Still a good movie. Definitely recommend it to fans of the series. The Predator is fun to watch, but it's definitely the worst movie.

iirc they had a set of Predator armor in that movie which could have been made a super interesting concept, but did not use it the way I expected. I think the overall story arc had a lot of potential they just did not use it in the way I thought. Almost like there was a mega police predator that they use in case a Predator defects or his technology is taken and not destroyed. What would have been awesome would have been having the MC don the predator armor and tech to even the playing field with the 2nd Predator.
