Re: Predator Reboot...

So you want it to be just like every other slasher franchise... Fair enough, I guess.
I'm kinda tired of tasteless sequels with no originality or subtlety.

That's not even close to what I said. Whether you liked it or not, Predators had some decent production values and performances. That is all I ask from a Predator movie, along with decent practical creature design.
 
Re: Predator Reboot...

Predators had some decent production values...
The CG FX were decent, everything else - not even close to the level of original two films.

... and performances.
Great cast wasted on poorly directed boring characters.
Fatburn was the only memorable part.

... decent practical creature design.
They looked fake as ****.
"Classic Perdator" couldn't even close his mandibles correctly. The cringe...

That is all I ask from a Predator movie.
I ask for the level of P2 and nothing less.

It did yes but just because you cover a turd in diamond doesn't change what it is, it's still a piece of crap.

This new Predator movie needs to be completely new and original. Predators thought it was but really it was just the original with poorer characters and cheaper looking and poorly acted Predators.

Predators was a pseudo rehash of P1. I think it's unavoidable that it's going to be the same formula with this one. The original is just too much of a masterpiece to not do it again.

You can still copy the formula without making it a rehash. You take the Predator out of the original and you still have a great action movie with great characters. All the new movie needs to be a is good action/thriller/crime/whatever it needs to be first and follow it up with some solid Predator action.
 
Re: Predator Reboot...

maybe they can bring Predator/human hybrids into the mix, that would be cool. (the predators trying to make a new race to kill for sport, then one of those escapes and ends up on Earth

they could make them be cool looking like half pred half human,

This is the way to do it, but Hollywood doesn't want to take risks mostly. Investors want a safe bet to get a return. They know the series has a big fan base and they don't want to rock the boat.

Maybe Shane Black will surprise us...

Although, Predators is much better than the AVP movies.
Well, AvP is a different thing altogether.

I think it's unavoidable that it's going to be the same formula with this one.

The original is not a masterpiece of cinema, but 100% classic.
If not Arnie, McTiernan and Winston it'd end up as "just another 80s B-action".
P2 is so great and appreciated today because it was a completely different approach to the formula.

I watched P2 the other day a little bit on TV. It's not great, but at least it's different.

For whatever reason the production department was obsessed with giving every single gun redundant attachments.
