PREDATORS – Mr. Black Mask Life-Size Prop Replica

[Devil_666]

You disagree with me and then in the very next sentence you admit what I pointed out.

I have not.

I only really defended something that I know is wrong, or I highly disagree with.

And the only reason you aren't defending the new design of the Predators is because you can't.

They look like they were designed by some ass hat who said: "Let's make these new Predators look like a villain from The Guyver or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with some Mutated Spiderman and Sammael from Hellboy thrown in. Then we'll paint it all fruity and 'Joel-Schumacher-Batman-Nipples' gay."

 

[CelticPredator]

Well, I know you're wrong about casting a great actor.

Very very very wrong.

And I totally disagree with your "assesment" of the new Predators. I cant tell you what I think about them until July 9th. So...whatever.

And if i'm just defending everything, why are you attacking everything? I mean, fine to be skeptical....but atleast read the ____ing script if you're really THAT skeptical.

 

[Devil_666]

Well, I know you're wrong about casting a great actor.

Very very very wrong.

Um.. no. I've already pointed out that Brody's Best Actor academy award for a drama has absolutely no bearing on his performance in this kind of movie i.e. a summer, popcorn, monster movie.

Just like Hilary Swank's TWO Academy awards for Best Actress didn't magically make "The Reaping" any better.

atleast read the ____ing script

Who gives a ____ about the script!? I guarantee there's someone, somewhere who loved the script for "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" or "Howard The Duck". And I guarantee those people cringed when they saw the movie.

If I remember the Predalien maquette's pictures were pulled from preview and I had to pre-order it without production photos of the statue. I don't think they were available until after AVPR movie came out, it's probably at the studios request, and we will see the full reveal after the premiere.
Can't wait!

 

[fawk3s]

About the cast.. The guy with the minigun doesnt look anything like a tough military man. Looks like momma's boy to meee...

 

[Matt13]

He's a former UFC champion, its doubtful he is much of a momma's boy. If your being sarcastic ignore this!

 

[fawk3s]

I dont care who he is... He doesnt look tough. IMHO atleast.

 

[Rotfish]

Regardless of the moaning about the new designs and actors, we all will end up seeing the movie. Dare I say, all of us will see it on the big screen (and that's a pretty safe bet). So why bother worrying about it if in less than a month, we will all be able to judge it fair and square?

I said it before, I'll say it again. Did you see who killed the Predator in the 2nd movie? "Looking tough to kill a Predator's" bar was lowered years ago

 

[Furious1]

I love this new design...I making a "Predator" reference album for myself, and this is the new addition to the book! I'll be adding other pics from Predators as well...

 

[laudel7]

Everyone has their own opinion. I personally like the new designs.

In a movie, the script matters a lot. Why do you think many movies suck now a days? Because many productions are underestimating that and are only focusing on profits instead of script. Why do you think Aliens or Predator did very well? Because they had great scripts. A script is the source of energy of a film. And by the way, it looks like this film has a great script. So wait till you see it.

 

[Devil_666]

In a movie, the script matters a lot.

Um.. ok. That has nothing to do with what I was saying to Celtic P. My point regarding him is: No one is criticizing or commenting on the dialog or elements of the script. What's being discussed is Casting choices, on-set pics, Predator designs and crew nicknames for those Preds, etc. Has nothing to do with the script or if the script sucks/doesn't suck. Yet without fail, Celtic P's defense is always "Read teh Script!1!!!". And I keep telling him that's irrelevant to what's being discussed.

Why do you think Aliens or Predator did very well? Because they had great scripts.

They also did well because they had great and original monster designs (thanks to Stan Winston and H.R. Giger), had great and original visuals (Alien especially), had one of the biggest action stars of that time in it (Arnold Schwarzenegger - Predator) and had great directors (Ridley Scott for Alien and John McTiernan for Predator).

IT HAS TO DO WITH ALL OF THOSE THINGS. The character or Royce, who is, the way he acts, IS what makes him awesome. It all comes down to the script. Izzy is another fun character, tough badass chick with a past that still haunts her. And then Edwin, the most interesting character in the film. You put those actors, with that script, and if they dont change it too much, then this film, shall be good.

Is that what you wanted to hear? Or do you really want to be another _______ again. Because it seems, that since you hate every single aspect of the film, and I pretty much love almost every aspect of the film's choices, you're getting all douchey on me again.

that's your choice broski.

Hell, look at the A-Team, summer popcorn flick with some really GREAT actors...including your Sig and Avi's Sharlto Coplay...and you know what? That movie was great, mainly because of the cast.

 

[fawk3s]

Im pretty interested in the yakuza character. Does he speak English fluently or is the communication with him complicated? You can put it between spoiler tags, CelticP.

 

[Devil_666]

Because it seems, that since you hate every single aspect of the film

How can I "hate" every single aspect of a film that hasn't been released!? That's an assumption on your part. I haven't been thrilled with the details that have been released so far but that doesn't mean it's impossible that I'll like this movie when I eventually see it (on DVD or TV ). Even if ALL the critics/fans smash this when it comes out I'll still want to see it for myself so I can form my own definitive opinion on it. I've liked plenty movies that were considered "garbage" and disliked plenty movies that were considered "great". My opinion isn't swayed by the majority/popular opinion.

KA-BLAM! Nice one, dude. I don't know, I was originally pissed at these designs, but they've grown a bit on me.


@Devil_666: And as far as the whole "I don't care what they look like on film" argument goes, lighting changes everything:

I take it you'd be cool watching a lighting-based creature like the Alien from "Aliens" on set with no editing or visual enhacements of any kind? If you answer no, then our argument is proven. If you answer yes, you're acknowledging a great script, actors, and story that make a film watchable even like that.

So either way, what is there to fret about if the movie hasn't even come out yet, and that's our final source of closure? You can express your distaste all you want, but to use what little things we know now as a reason to judge isn't the best thing to do.

He speaks english. But he doesnt talk much, only because...

Spoiler

He has a finger cut off, and Royce asks why...he said, "He talked to much."

Oh you can hate every aspect so far bro. I'm sure you can still like the film, but so far, you've done nothing but bash pretty much everything. Which is alright. I disagree, but I dont think you're an idiot for it. I just really hate that you bash something that really shows how much they're dedicated to making a good film....but I digress.

KA-BLAM! Nice one, dude.

Now this just makes me seem like I was attacking the guy......

 

[Rotfish]

Yeah okay, my bad . Got a bit carried away, there.

YAH ! I knew that was a cool dude ! PLUS HIS A NINJA. What more can you expect
