Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed his feelings on the Predator films that his own 1987 blockbuster and they aren't great. He calls the first his “absolute favorite of the series, but thinks that ultimately the sequels fell prey to greed.
“The sad story is that sometimes studios do a great job with creating sequels, and sometimes they really screw it up bad, and it all has to do with greed,” said Schwarzenegger during a Q&A with Reddit. “They sometimes want to do it really cheap and make as much money as possible, so they don’t hire the right cast or the right director.”
"So far, no Predator, no matter which one they did after the first one has come out, has been satisfactory to the audience," he continued. The interesting aspect to this is that Schwarzenegger most recently starred in Terminator: Genisys, a sequel to the Terminator series that has been getting mixed reviews. Apparently, Genisys does not fall under 'greedy sequels.'
