The Predator Early Reactions Thread

[Tetsujin]

It looks good.... 

Wonderful! 

[Xerxész]

All scenes from the final trailer still in the movie?

yes / no

No. 😁
Anyway, good question. I would like to know the answer as well.

Syntax, this is a very important question, how would you compare the body language, movements, of fugitive VS Kevin Peter halls from p1-p2?

[Xerxész]

SyntaX, when did you see the movie?
Oh, and an other, maybe answerable question... How where the dialogues?
I read the script and found the dialogues quite weak. I don't like when every second word is f**k and shit.

Seconding this question! Also, would you say Fugitive has much of a "personality" that we can see?

[Huggs]

In regards to the ending, does it appear to set up sequels? Or can this movie stand on its own?

Any after-credits scenes or surprising "cameos"? No details or name dropping is necessary. Merely if you saw someone you didn't expect.

[The Old One]

If you can tell the blood is CGI, is it really doing it's job?

The score's a more complex subject though.

[Hollywood]

How is the Chemistry between The Loonies? Are they memorable or just throwaway characters?

I'd also like to know about this.

You can always tell when blood is CGI, no matter how perfect it is. Most of the time we can always tell when anything's CGI.

So the original main theme is there?

That's not true. Apart from the creatures; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t-8nR0w6wM

I'd wager most people didn't realise the majority of things in the above video that are CGI.

If CGI can't create blood as believable and indistinguishable from the real thing as those trees and extensions of sets,
then CGI shouldn't be used for that purpose.

Very strong statement, and I am personally as 3d modeler not agree, but I do see your logic.

CGI is often used for blood these days because it's a lot faster to do a retake than when you have to clean up and redress a set. Very little to do with what is convincing or not.

[The Old One]

I know why it's used, doesn't stop me from disagreeing with that as enough justification for it's inclusion.

But I also disagree that CGI blood is always obvious, static or in movement.

It's hard to top Kevin Peter Hall.
That being said, the Fugitive/Assassin share similarities but are both individuals. They are both Predators in terms of movement. And yes, they are threatening as hell. While the Fugitive resembles the Predator from P1 and P2 in terms of movement and cold precision, the Assassin is different. More direct, so to speak. It does, however, show plenty of similarities to the Predator we all know.

This movie can stand on it's own, for sure. However, it's setup so that sequels might happen.
Can't answer(Y)the (E) last (A) part of your(H) question though

Thanks for the answer. How would you rank fugitive among wolf?
