The Predator Reviews

[The Old One]

Thor Ragnarok is one of the best superhero films ever made, so no- you're wrong "The Lone Ranger" on that.

So for reals.... there's

a Predator full body combat suit similar to Iron Man with dreads? That's what the Fugitive and Assassin are fighting about?

Rotten tomatoes can't be taken seriously... comprimised as hell.

It's simply a collection of everyone's review and a percentage of critics who recommend the film. It's worth taking into account but some people think a movie that is at 50% means it's a terrible movie when really it means 50% of critics recommend it.

No it isn't whatsoever, it's been proven they've shown bias in how scores from reviewers are translated to the percentage on the rotten or fresh meter.

Anything Disney related or Marvel Studios related, or SJW related no matter how piss poor or average at best of a film, see black panther or last jedi, gets the huge pass. And usually get asinine score rankings greater than the some of cinemas instant classic's LOL

You got to be kidding me?

No. That movie is hot f**king garbage. It doesn't take itselr seriously, because then it would then be held to higher standards.

Like most of the Marvel Studios films.

They rely on tension deflating jokes, at all times, which undercuts any sense of drama or tension.  This was even an issue in a much superior film (thanks to RDJ) with Infinity War. 

The jokes on occasion work on first viewing, they didn't for the vast majority of Thor 3 but the over abundance of humor make repeat viewings boring and unwatchable. When you aim to be the clown, you're not held to any standards.

It's much more difficult to take material such as Thor and treat it seriously, and get an audience to treat it seriously or invest thoroughly.

See what Christopher Nolan did for Batman, and what Zack Snyder at least had the balls to try to do with Superman.

Thor Ragnorak is shit.  And thankfully all it's fluff and pointlessness is thoroughly destroyed in the very next entries opening scene in Infinity War.

Still need to see this one. I was passing a room where it was being watched a few weeks ago and all I managed to hear was someone talking about a giant anus. Giggles, but I do hope they wrap the marvel universe up soon. Preferably on a serious note like Logan. I'd like to hear and see them as real people for once. Dealing with age, death, and going their separate ways. An end to heroes, as it were.

Wow. "The Lone Ranger"

That's a lot of swearing,
must really make you angry that it's so good.

[Hollywood]

Nah, RT is generally a good tool in determining whether a film is accepted or not. Simple as that.

[Danversity]

I just want The Predator to be Certified Fresh because I'm sick and tired of having to defend popularly hated movies. Won't determine if it's good or not, what will determine that for me it's my own experiences, and scores and reviews have no influence there. But I just want a Predator movie to be commonly well-received.

[Ingwar]

RT don't mean anything as long as you enjoy the movie. Certified Fresh or not it doesn't matter.

I hear ya, buddy - but if there's anything you can rest easy about it's the fact that people aren't unanimously trashing it as reviews seem to be mixed. Just a matter of whether you're able to roll with it, which is more than what can be said about this weekend's The Nun, which is a bummer because me and my friends were all excited to see that tonight haha but that ultimately helps The Predators box office prospects since word of mouth on The Nun isn't too hot and likely wont carry over to next weekend.

I've never heard a bad word said about the original. As far as I know people seem to respect it, and it seems generally well received. So there you go. Now, as for this latest film, critics and reviewers will compliment the actor's chemistry and the music, but everything else will get slammed...hard. But don't worry what other people think about the movies you like. If it works for you, that's all that matters.

No I just like swearing.  I know all the Thor movies and even most of the MCU movies are hot trash.  Cinematic equivalent to McDonalds honestly.

Oh yeah I wasn't counting the original on that. Was thinking more of Predator 2 and Predators. And many other films that get trashed and I end up loving them.

Now that's a new one.
