All of the 'Predator' movies, ranked

• "Prey" is available on Hulu now.

• It is the latest movie in the "Predator" franchise.

• We ranked all the titles in the franchise, including the "Alien vs. Predator" movies.

5. "The Predator" (2018)

This sequel has a very unique group of actors making up the cast, including Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Keegan-Michael Key, Thomas Jane, Trevante Rhodes, Sterling K. Brown, and Jacob Tremblay (yes, the kid from "Room").

Plus, it's directed by Shane Black, who not only starred in the original movie (he played Hawkins) but also was responsible for some of the rewrites done to the 1987 movie.

Despite all that, the movie is awful.

We don't care about the main characters, and even worse, the Predator aliens are laughable, especially the super buff one.

It's just best we never speak of this movie again.

4. "Predators" (2010)

Once more, an interesting mix of actors makes up the ensemble: Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Walton Goggins, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Mahershala Ali, and Laurence Fishburne.

They all star as people who have been placed on a planet that is a gaming ground for Predators.

Now, they have to fight their way to figure out how to get back to Earth.

The story, created by Robert Rodriguez back in the 1990s, is the movie in the franchise that doesn't get enough respect. It's clever and there are some great performances. Seek it out.

3. "Prey" (2022)

The newest entry in the franchise is a prequel that's set in the 18th century and follows a Comanche tribe who face off against the Predator.

Director Dan Trachtenberg ("10 Cloverfield Lane") creates an impressive story that makes a star out of its lead, Amber Midthunder, and delivers on the action with some extremely bloody fight sequences.

2. "Predator 2" (1990)

The people who say "Prey" is the best "Predator" movie since the original need to go back and watch the first sequel in this franchise.

Written by the creators of the character, Jim and John Thomas, and starring a great cast, the movie is a gem in genre filmmaking.

Set in Los Angeles in 1997 during a heat wave, the Predator shows up and completely overpowers the drug cartel scene. This leads Danny Glover's Lieutenant Harrigan character and his team to figure out who the new player in town is.

It ends with an amazing ending onboard a Predator ship that rivals the fantastic conclusion of the original.

1. "Predator" (1987)

What can you say about the original that hasn't been said already?

Directed by the great action director John McTiernan, written by Jim and John Thomas, and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger at the peak of his stardom, the movie is a masterpiece in the action genre.

The secret sauce of this movie, and what the franchise has attempted to replicate time and again, is the great ensemble. With the casting of the likes of Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, and Sonny Landham, they elevate the brotherhood of the group and the fear of these men trying to face an unknown evil.

And we can't leave out Alan Silvestri's amazing score, which also elevated the movie to icon status.

Bonus: The best "Alien vs. Predator" movie is…

Who knows if we'll ever see another "Alien vs. Predator" movie now that Fox is owned by Disney, but honestly, two might have been enough.

This head-on collision of two iconic evils didn't result in treasures in filmmaking but it was fun.

And if we had to choose if 2004's "Alien vs. Predator" or 2007's "Aliens vs Predator: Requiem" was the best we have to go with the 2004 movie.

Listen, neither one is great, but at least they tried to make the first movie work.

And we love that Lance Henriksen was cast as his Charles Bishop Weyland character from the "Alien" franchise.
