Because it's Fox. I snagged mine off eBay as a disc only with digital copy for $12 shipped.

The movie is great. And honestly Brody was great. He did more with his character than Arnold did in the first one. If you want to criticize this film for anything, it's not Brody. His portrayal of a hardass was completley believable and well done.

And LOL at someone saying Vin Diesel should have been in this film. Anyone who likes that guy must either be half retarded or stuck in some kind of time warp where it's still 2001 and you're 13 years old.

You're out of your mind if you think this crap movie can hold a candle to the original.

Lucifer is the father of lies...you must be lying.

Honestly though, it certainly isn't as good as the original, but to call it crap and like the original is kind of an oxymoron. Considering how similar they are. If there was no original to compare it to, it probably would've been better recieved. And I sort of agree with him that Brody was as good as Schwarzenegger (not better). Beyond Brody and the updated effects and equipment, the original is much better, but this one is still fun.

I look at Predators like this. Is it better than the original? No, but I would say that it's as good as Predator 2. The fact that Rodriguez went with a score that was similar to the original helped quite a bit as well. Couple that with a mini-gun and you've got a decent sequel.

Lol at the minigun. Good homage to Mac. I liked it more than Predator 2 personally, although I don't dislike Predator 2 (I don't particularly like it either...the Alien skull added so many brownie points for me).

You must be kidding! I've never been so bored watching a movie in my life.

Yeah, Brody is an oscar winner. I'm sorry, I like Arnold, but he doesn't really act that much. He can act like a robot and is good in roles where he doesn't need to speak much at all. I'll give him that.

This film was a great, entertaining genre film in the classic style. It's going to be remembrered far in the future as one of the best sequels to Predator. Plenty of great scenes, a ****ign samurai sword fight with a Predator, atmosphere, actual competent photography without shakey cam. This film was done right.

What?? When in the jungles of South America one doesn't need "good acting" or to be an "oscar winner" to fight the Predator! What one needs are muscles and supreme firepower....both of which Arnie has plenty of.
Give me Arnie and his killer one-liners any day of the week & twice on Sunday, over that whelp Brody!
You hear that bomb falling from the sky...that's Adrien Brody's career. He hasn't done squat since The Pianist.
There's an idea: Place that doofus Brody, in the jungle, with the Predator, armed ONLY with a Piano and his nose...then maybe we have something. Until then....

He had a good little role in Midnight in Paris. He was hilarious. Also, many people love the newer King Kong.

Me too. I feel like that's what it was worth. It's like a B movie with an A movie budget. That's not as bad as it sounds.
