Quote from: skull-splitter on May 10, 2018, 05:44:45 PMWell, Hicks, that is the opposite of what they're saying...That most people liked it and paid money made it make a profit. It did not make it a good film. It was solid, well executed and looked good, but other than that it basically retold Pocahontas.

Nothing. I'm liking the feel of the film there's nothing wrong with that.A tribal race of intergallactic hunters resort to high texh splicing to stay ahead of the curve? Nice plot twist, but like the hybrid shit in Jurassic World totally unnecessary. It feels like cheap writing, give them a new trick to play with without actual need for it.Quote from: Xan21 on May 10, 2018, 04:15:37 PMI have a feeling some are just desperate for something they just accept anything... This is what I meant earlier.Also: no forced humor? What about the guys commenting on the interogation? Cringe.I've seen people shouting about the comics. What comics mention intensive splicing?Damn you cringe easily A lot of people hated Iron Man 3 despite it being a fairly decent movie in terms of directing, but of course most of the people don't give a shit about directing and just want their beloved iron man to do this and that... It's cinema first and foremost, predator or not... And Shane Black is good at cinema, i think it matters greatly. But hey i'm wasting my time anyway, like i said too many people don't care about filmmaking. They don't realize they have a good director. And some of them don't seem to understand jack shit about editing a trailer either regarding all the complaints about the kid part and the ship crashing Iron Man 3 was pretty terrible, but that's because the script was terrible. If The Predator turns out to be on par with Iron Man 3 it's probably time to retire the franchise. There is nothing in Iron Man 3 that comes even close to being in the same league of film-making as the original 2 Predator movies. It was shallow commercial entertainment with little to no subtext. It was fast food entertainment. Garbage for the masses. Just my opinion of course. I expect more from properties like Predator.Perhaps because it hurt your personal feelings more than just it being "a terrible movie" ?

They were on the same trajectory as the old films and just extrapolated the thirty year time period. The ones not liking it could be broken down to two options: not liking it because it changed too much and not liking it because it didn't fit their expectations.That being said, I'm complaining my ass off over this film the same way I complain about Jurassic World's changes without need for it. Just kept it at dinosaurs and I'd be fine. All this hybrid nonsense isn't needed to make the creatures creepier.

It did not make it a good film. It was solid, well executed and looked good, but other than that it basically retold Pocahontas.A "solid, well executed" film that "looked good" doesn't equate to good just because it retold an old story? Again, just because you or I don't like something doesn't make it bad. As with everything these days, the vocal minority thinks it represents the majority and that's just not the case. Iron Man 3 was a success. Critically, financially and evidently with the movie going audience that could be bothered to sign up and vote on aggregator websites - and it's usually the ones who don't like things that are more willing to go to the effort to tell people how much they dislike something.
Quote from: newagescamartist on May 10, 2018, 05:57:21 PMThat's great that people liked it. I have no issue with that. I didn't care for it at all.
QuoteThat script leaking was the worst thing that could have happened. I feel like it soured everything regarding this movie. It's just too hard to overlook. Bad script typically = bad movie. Let's hope they fixed what didn't work. Obviously we can't judge the movie until we see it, but the red flags are basically screaming at us. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
