BBG News

The “” franchise recently premiered its newest addition on Hulu/Disney+, standing out from previous installments due to its innovative animated style and the best critical acclaim the entire series has ever received. After a string of generic and critically panned sequels, the “Predator” franchise finally found its footing with a skilled filmmaker at the helm when “” wrote and directed “Prey”. As he prepares for his next live-action project, “Predator: Badlands”, the director has shared behind-the-scenes footage to demonstrate that he’s on the right track with the franchise.

Killer of Killers” have sparked great anticipation for this anthology film, which features three distinct tales set within the Predator universe. Consequently, both critics and viewers are praising the movie to no end, with its initial rating surpassing both “Prey” and the original Arnold Schwarzenegger film at the moment of writing. The film currently boasts a 96% Tomatometer score, and while an audience score is still being calculated, nine out of the first ten reviews have been entirely positive.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to bits about the upcoming release of “Predator: Badlands”. This news brings a wave of excitement not just for Trachtenberg, but for us fans as well. The prospect of a Predator-Alien crossover is particularly intriguing, given the exceptional quality of recent Alien productions like “Alien: Romulus” and its upcoming sequel. And let me tell you, the anticipation for August’s TV series, “Alien: Earth”, is sky-high!

Is Predator: Killer of Killers Worth Watching on Hulu?

If you’re a fan of the Predator series, it’s likely that you’ll find something enjoyable about “Predator: Killer of Killers.” While some people have reservations about animated entries in established franchises, as seen with shows like “Marvel’s What If…?” and DCU’s “Creature Commandos,” this could be a move towards bridging the gap between animated and live-action productions.

According to Julian Roman’s critique for MovieWeb, the film “Dan Trachtenberg follows up the excellent Prey with an equally impressive animated anthology that’s packed with brutal action, compelling storytelling, and unexpected twists. The movie Predator: Killer of Killers redefines our understanding of the terrifying trophy hunters.” Bob Strauss from San Francisco Chronicle commented that the film’s tight focus on action is its strongest point, stating, “Predator: Killer of Killers” is a fantastic movie any 10-year-old boy would be thrilled to watch. This is because it essentially offers an assortment of bloody, action-packed animated tales within a single, 90-minute collection.

Despite the overwhelming positive reception from critics, spectators’ responses to the movie were not dissimilar. Tom S., much like many others, expressed his enthusiasm about the film, stating, “I had a fantastic time with this Predator Anime! It kept me on the edge of my seat! I appreciated how everything was neatly wrapped up, and I loved the Easter eggs; it was a delight for a Predator enthusiast! The Predator Franchise is in capable hands!

It appears that this consensus is shared among all the reviews. Dan Trachtenberg has managed to deeply integrate himself with the Predator franchise, something no other director has achieved in the past 30 years. With another movie coming up and possibilities for more down the line, it’s clear that Killer of Killers is not just filler content, but a valuable stopgap until Predator: Badlands hits screens in November.
