The Predator Reviews

[happypred]

I will NEVER understand this "support the films at all costs regardless of quality!" mentality some people have. Its what leads studios to not even try when making sequels, knowing that the fanboys will still eat it up.

Yeah...that is naive attitude. I used to have it

Birth.Movie.Death has a pretty on point review with a good opening paragraph that sums it all up quite well -

To paraphrase the great Joe Bob Briggs, "you can always tell whether or not you're watching an A-Movie or a B-Movie depending on if they kill the dog. If they off the poor mutt, it's definitely a B-Movie." Well, Shane Black's The Predator kills the dog, then it goes after the kid, the mom, and then slaughters pretty much everything else in its path before arriving at a climax so utterly over the top and ridiculous, you feel like you just watched five mini-Predator pictures back-to-back. Each of its acts crams as many insane ideas and vulgar one-liners into its rotten, day-glo green stew until you can't take any more, becoming a crass concoction of wanton juvenilia. But that's also what renders it one helluva time at the movies.

So Hicks do you think that the next movie going to be in 10-15 years from now?

I don't think we'll be seeing anything for a while.

That's really sad  Hopefully Shane not going to have too much troubles after this movie.

I havent seen the film yet, but i have fear, i havent read any spoilers but for the reviews ive read...
I dont understand why directors force theyr shit while they have amazing lore, amazing expanded universe, comics, books.. Material fans love... They pass, look at scott, i dont think he has even seen any alien movie since 1979...
Hope is not the case here, hope this is not iron crap 3..

I don't think we'll be seeing anything for a while.

I would be fine with only good books and games.

I don't think there's anything upcoming for Predator in that regard.

This was a big fear of mine, that the movie would be so bad the franchise ends up shelved for another decade. Or more, depending on just how poorly it does... 

[Ultramorph]

I'm basically resigned to Predator being a once-in-a-decade franchise at this point. I really wish they would stop with the trilogy baiting before a movie even comes out.

Seen the movie with my gf here in the Philippines

it's tolerable for me as a fan

for casual movie goer like my gf it's ok, fun and brutal

It's safe to say we won't be seeing much of Alien or Predator...
Face it, both franchises got the nail with the last 2 entries.

The franchises have been living the good life on paper. I've said it before, it's the best place for them as of this point. Hollywood is a mess, and I don't care for the ideas they're bringing to the table.

As someone that over the last years started to enjoy reading more than watching movies, its been going really well.
