Because aside of Holbrook and Casey,
Spoiler
On a whole, I still got mix feelings. I do like some of the action, I think it looks interesting, some good shots. I do like the Predator face design. Way better than the Super Predators. Still too clean looking though and that new mask, especially that shot of it up against the original mask, is just really goofy looking. They really overdesigned it. There are so many different custom figures and artwork of Predators with different designs of mask, but are still rather simple looking without it feeling overdesigned too much. I still get a Saturday night movie schlock from this as well, especially with the last shot of the giant Predator slamming the smaller Predator. It's like one of those cheap monster versus movies. It just feels off.
Maybe drop - Mission: Impossible - Fallout premier...
We'll see.
Wat
Or we need to patch over obviously missing footage... *cough*ResidentEvil1*cough*
The pyramid was constantly shifting. We wouldn't want the audience to get lost in there.
Don't forget to cut to computerized maps for absolutely no reason.
Eh, just use the same two sets a million times, it'll be fine!
I agree, the tone was also not correct, the middle of the movie is like they are wandering about on the same set painted differently. The moving pyramid had tons of potential.
One of the nicer touches on Anderson's AVP was the ship entry at the end with the lack of sound effects for the stealth.
Everything I mentioned is already done.
I thought those laughs sounded familiar! It all makes sense now
Might have worked well for Nice Guys or something where the story takes place in a Vegas casino, but Predator...?
That's why I loved the Sabacc scene in Solo, a single bug zapper style lightbulb over the table. Atmosphere was fantastic
This is something JJ Abrams hasn't figured out either:
LESS IS MORE
I think we're more discussing what could be edited in the trailer to make it more appealing, while not changing the film.
Otherwise we'd just be making up anything and everything.
Yes.
Why not just a simple landing? Predator comes, lands, exits from his ship and starts hunting.
Shots of the jungle. Maybe throw in a little of "The Chopper."
Holbrook on his mission. Intense. Scope shots.
Cut to kid at home, with box.
Holbrook searching through scope. Looking for his target. Sonic boom.
Kid slicing box with box cutter.
Ship crashing, Holbrook trying to evade.
Kid peels back flaps.
Holbrook moving through the wreck. Predator clicking sound.
Kid pulls out the mask.
THE PREDATOR.
Hell! The kids trick-or-treating is a 30 year old sound effect
that I recognize from Roller Coaster Tycoon!!!
It's not even like it would be difficult to make a Predator teaser for the plot synopsis of this.
The structure of the trailer is quite bad. Actually it might just straight up be the worst trailer between the films of recent time. Not because the movie looks bad, just that nothing really happens.
I like the comment that says "The moment you realise it's not a fanmade trailer". Totally spot on.
having the Teaser a few weeks back now looks to be following the normal time frame for big movies

Where's the damn full length???
Which app were you trying to use?

Nope Australia.
There was also a shot before Sterling K Brown speaks of a non skinned body hanging from a tree. But can also confirm the shot of the individual loonies laughing on the bus. It shows Alfie, TJ, Augusto and Trevante
I think people just have to be ready for the basic core of what came from the leaked script/plot leaks/set photos. The bigger issues for me was how insane it got in the third act and a lot of the dialogue. It'll come down to execution for a lot of this. It can only go so far for some people, which can be evidenced by how people have expressed their opinion on here about what we have heard and seen.
Like I have said, I'm going to have faith but I have no problem calling it a bad movie if it turns out to be one.
If Black can't manage the jokes while juggling the suspense, horror and action. Then it's not gonna be pretty.
On the flip side of that, if he can utilize the jokes in a way that doesn't distract your attention from the film itself. Well, he'll have overcome a very big hurdle, that allot of fans fear he's incapable of.
No-one ever wants to look scared in front of "the team".
I watched 3 minutes of it on tv once, and had to change the channel. It was just too much. As for the modern analysis angle, I think films like Predator would be the main example for this type of thing. Something that was initially meant to be, and was seen as scary or thrilling.
