There was nothing about this movie that was iconic. No iconic characters, No tension, no iconic dialogs, Design of the Predator was shit, the cgi was shit and will definitely look worse in couple of years. Where is all this super hype coming from?
I don't think it's "super hype". I think it's just people responding to a movie that is competantly made, by a director with something to say, that's thematically strong, and gives us something a bit different.
It's not "super hype" to enjoy a film that's got all it's moving parts working.
As for the CGI. I watched
Doctor Who - The Ark in Space the other day. It's from about 1974. One of the monsters is literally a guy wrapped in green bubble-wrap sleeping bag. It's shot in a brightly lit BBC studio. It looks pretty bad really. But the script is intelligent and the actors totally sell it, and it is rightly seen as a classic.
The quality of special effects matters a lot less than you'd think.
