I enjoyed it, but a missed opportunity IMO by playing to the formula.
There was an opportunity for more of the wonderful scenery, and I wondered if a longer deeper look into Comanche life by slowing the pace in a kind of Dances with Wolves style piece may have added more interest and mystique. The French hunters were too abruptly introduced IMO.
Perhaps a balance of Comanche life with the naturalist background with the hunters starting to impact their life, and then subtly people on both sides go missing leading to the intro to the predator have been better.
Worth pointing out to some people that by the time of he final scene (for the predator) he’d been wounded quite a few times, and exhausted a lot of his weaponary. Comanche were known to be fierce and brave warriors using stealth, guile and speed to overcome a larger enemy based on their need to defend/hunt lions and bears, and to capture horses for trade, which I thought the hunting scenes were trying to portray.
