"The Predator" by Shane Black (2018)

[Chakor]

Point being
In a way I saw Halloween for the first time as an Adult.. And its just some great stuff.

Oh, I don't disagree. It is definitely masterful in many, many regards. It is just not a full 10/10 on my scale, but very close.

My dirty little secret - I just never really cared for any of the characters aside from Lourie, Loomis, and maybe Myers just because he's the villain. I even gave it extra points for killing off all of Lourie's annoying friends.

Truth be told I just personally cannot stand horror where a kid or something resembling a human kid is the villain (I.E., Child's Play, Pet Sematary, Exorcist, etc.). I would honestly rather listen to Jar Jar read the phone book.

Oh you didn't just press the Exorcist button there did you?

Poor Chakor gonna end up found in a suitcase at the bottom of a lake as another victim of the photoshop killer.

Sensing the desperation with the second ad...

Predator 1 is not an example of a movie living off nostalgia fumes it is the real deal.

Very few movies are action/sci-fi/horror masterpieces and Predator is one of them.

I don't think people give predator enough credit actually.

This movie looks like trash

The first reactions are in...and it is a very mixed bag.

The reviews ars tearing this movie apart.

Bad enough there are poorly written forgettable human characters but also lacking great Predator moments.

Yikes lol

 

[Vault Boy]

Reviews say the ending ruined an otherwise enjoyable film.

The reason the Predators collect human DNA isn't all that bad. Acceptable. It fits the environmental theme of the previous films.

Apparently Shane Black cast his long-time friend, a child *** offender Steven Wilder Striegel, in the film without disclosing it to cast and crew before the whistle was blown by Munn and his scenes removed by Fox two weeks ago. He has been in three of Shane's films alongside children as well.

Shane said “I personally chose to help a friend. I can understand others might disapprove, as his conviction was on a sensitive charge and not to be taken lightly.”

Olivia ain't none too happy about this. Worst of all he played a man hitting on her character.

Predator 2 starring Bryan Singer as Dutch jr when.

Shame to see the bad reviews, but those same critics would probably hate P1 if it released today tbh. I'll wait and see what you guys make of it.

Wasn't this meant to big some big event movie??

There's a little more too it I think. I read a later comment from Black stating that his friend had mislead him with regards to the the whole thing and that he was disappointed. Which seems reasonable, he'll probably not be in any more of his movies now...

The only cure for pedos is a bullet

 

[jye4ever]

Ummm yup

Same goes for all people who liked JL lol

Man the movie ending will ruin the hole franchise and the already nice lore will go into the trash. It is sucks that you love something and 30 years later some guy just come in the **** up everything with one move with a pen. It will be horrible if they continue this move...I am just sadly disappointed. The hole lore will go into the abyss. The fans are already tearing the movie apart because of the ending on AvPgalaxy.

Spoiler

The predator iron man suit...which even has metal dreads. And it looks and acts like an Iron man suit. It even goes on the guy like that. The fugitive wanted to give this armor to us...this is why the assassin came to Earth...to stop this. They are going to invade us...and he wanted to give us the tech to defend ourselves...just lol.

That’s what happens when studios rehash the same franchises over and over

You know I just cannot understand...okay I can but still. The Alien, Predator, Terminator, RoboCop franchise have enormous potential...and we know this because of the games, comics, books...but somehow all we got is trash...all the time. Are the people who produce these movies just don't care or don't understand these franchises? Like at all? They do not care about long term reputation and therefore profit? It is sad to see as a fan.

Probably a combination of all the above

I read that spoiler and holy Christ.

It's just not meant to be. The more these films carry on the more they descend into complete silliness.
