the success of Prey<\/em> — which Hulu recently revealed had the biggest premiere of any programming on its streaming service — has prompted a reevaluation of the Predator<\/em> franchise as a whole. It’s either the fifth or the seventh movie in the line (depending on how the two moribund Alien vs. Predator<\/em> movies are counted) and unanimously seen as a big step up from 2018’s disappointing The Predator<\/em>. Indeed, it’s been credited for elevating the franchise after decades of less-than-brilliant efforts since the classic original movie in 1987.<\/p>\n But in point of fact, the Predator<\/em> movies have often been much better than their reputations suggest. the AVP<\/em> entries haven’t helped, but taking them out of the equation reveals multiple creatively robust films that put the franchise in a much different light. Prey<\/em>‘s success has prompted a new look at them, and more than one holds up surprisingly well.<\/p>\n
