The latest Predator film to hit streaming released just a few days ago on Disney+/Hulu. This is the second Predator film from Dan Trachtenberg (Prey), and the first of two Predator films coming from him this year. Badlands, though, will hit cinemas in the fall. I am a newbie to the Predator franchise. Despite loving Arnold and ‘80s action flicks, I only saw the first film for the first time last year, have just caught up on all the sequels as a of a few days ago. I have some mixed opinions on the franchise for sure but there’s no questioning how iconic the Predator itself is and how cemented the legacy of this franchise has been into the cinematic tapestry. Is Predator: Killer of Killers, the first animated film in the franchise, one of the best entries? Find out in this review!

But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent — the ultimate killer of killers.
