Predador: Assassino de Assassinos

I just finished watching this movie and wanted to write my thoughts down while I watched this so they're fresh in my head.

First Story:

This part was a headache-inducing mess. The animation was choppy, shaky, and overall just unpleasant to look at-it almost made me feel sick. The story itself was messy, cringey, and totally missed the mark when it came to historical accuracy. It felt more like a video game fight than something grounded in its time period. I just couldn't feel anything for what was happening.

The one redeeming quality here was the sound design and voice acting, which were genuinely great and easily the best part of this segment.

Second Story:

The animation improved here-still not amazing, but much smoother and easier on the eyes compared to the first. This made a big difference.

The story was a lot better as well. I enjoyed the characters and the overall motion of events, even though I don't know much about the real history of this setting. It was much more engaging and easier to follow. Again, the sound and voice acting continued to be strong.

Third Story:

The animation was dull but serviceable-not nearly as bad as the first story.

However, the story itself immediately felt lame. It came off like a kids' or tween TV movie, with annoying characters and unrealistic, almost silly ideas. For something that's supposed to be based on Predator, this just felt too cheerful and dumbed down. As it went on, it only got worse-characters doing unbelievable things that completely take you out of the experience. It felt stupid and out of place in this kind of movie.

Final Story:

This part was okay. The biggest issue was the return of that awful character from the third story-he honestly ruined the whole show for me. He felt like a character from a completely different genre, something made for kids, and just didn't belong here. Because of him, my overall opinion of the film dropped significantly.

I didn't mind the ending itself, and the animation here was decent-definitely far better than the first part. I don't understand why they allowed the first segment to be animated so poorly when the others were more than good enough.

Overall:

This movie had potential. If it weren't for the shaky, poor animation in the first story and especially the awful character from the third story, I might have rated it much higher. The sound design and voice acting throughout were consistently excellent, and the fight choreography was a highlight.

But because of those major missteps-especially "Mr. Part Three Guy"-I have to give this a 5 out of 10, maybe a 6 if I'm being generous. The core story isn't amazing, but it's the bad elements that really bring it down.

I was skeptical about an animated Predator movie. But the animation was very good and the style lends its self very well to the subject matter.

It seems to be an anthology but its all tied together at the end and leaves things open for much more in the future.

Speaking of tying things together there are interesting references to the other films and hint at a much wider universe that we hopefully get to see.

Don't be put off that its a cartoon its much cheaper to tell a story this way than with live action so more chance of followups.

In Dan Trachtenberg it seems they have someone who can take the Predator franchise in a much better direction than it had been going prior to Prey.

I recently watched Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) on Hulu. The storyline follows Predator warriors on Earth across different countries and historical eras, battling human warriors to the death.

The film is co-directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey) and Joshua Wassung, and features the voices of Michael Biehn (Aliens), Doug Cockle (Band of Brothers), and Rick Gonzalez (Old School).

I really loved this. Every segment felt solid, and the ending was tremendous. Funny enough, I spent most of the movie underselling the writing-there were even a few moments that made me roll my eyes-but the conclusion pulled everything together in a way that was much smarter than I expected.

The animation is excellent, with striking visuals: the flying scenes, blood effects, fire, and fight choreography all looked fantastic. The initial Viking sequence was easily my favorite. I also appreciated how each segment included its own human conflict or war that naturally led into the showdown with a Predator.

The different Predator designs-variations in size, shape, and weaponry-were cool and added depth to the world.

In short, Predator: Killer of Killers is a unique and worthwhile addition to the Predator universe. I'd score it a strong 7.5 to 8 out of 10 and highly recommend it.

Idk, it's fun to watch but ultimately it makes predators look weak!! Suggests the predators don't know wtf they're doing. It should be RARE for a predator to lose. Same reason John wick 3 bothered me, this super strong character gets kinda beat up then kicks the others ass but let's them live so they can keep fighting only to lose? Predator doesn't respect weakness so they should've ALL lost...

Disappointing, wanted deadliest warrior but with predator just to see who did best against them, but we got some bigger story that was kinda lame.

*takes deep breathe* guess I can fly this spaceship now >:(

I genuinely didn't know what to expect from this, turning a live action property into animation doesn't always work. That being said, this was absolutely amazing. I loved the animation style, the sound design, especially for the predator was excellent, the different settings, the voice acting was on point, the action absolutely top notch, as to be expected. Of course the storylines of the 3 vignettes were a bit lacking, some better than others, but who comes into a predator movie for the riveting story telling? This really was a legitimate predator movie, and did the titilur character justice. Very gory, great pacing, I highly recommend this.
