Bullshit. John McTiernan was The Michel Bay of 80' and had Arnie, Jessie and Apollo effin Creeed in his team just to name a few.
John McTiernan didn't become John McTiernan until after Predator, is the point.
Shane Black is making a Predator film after he became thee Shane Black.
No bullshit here.
Shane was never praised for his directing skills, but he was praised for his writing skills.
Shane directed smart, critically acclaimed movies that were also liked by the audiences, and that's what makes a good director.
Point is, McTiernan was never praised for anything up until Predator, in fact he made one movie before that neither did good financially or critically, so they took a risk.
Shane Black is a household name in Hollywood and a lot of people are excited by the fact he's doing the movie, if you look at social media, a lot of people that never cared for Predator will only watch this because it's a "Shane Black movie", so yeah, at this point this is in fact the very first prominent director this franchise ever had, and to top that, at his peak as well.
Shane could do a bunch of other movies, he's only doing this because he's passionate about this franchise.
Will it be a good movie? We'll see, there is no guarantee for anything, but we have every reason to believe this will be a cool movie experience, they even go for IMAX this time.
All I can see everywhere is legitimate negativity toward the news,it's a fact, deal with it Johnny Boy.
So let's check the filmography of Shane as a directror.
Iron Man 3, hated by the fans to these days.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which was a flop and a so so movie.
The Nice Guys, a movie with potencial ruined by a kid.Also it was a commercial failure.
:oSoooo impressed by his directing skills.
Iron Man 3 hated by fans? A solid 7,2 on IMDB, the best f**king plot twist ever made, liked by most critics, made over a billion.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, praised by critics, a solid 7,6 on IMDB.
The Nice Guys, a solid 7,4 on IMDB, liked by critics. I loved the wise-ass kid in it, but that's my opinion.
Predator 2 didn't flop? Dude, i
love the movie, but it did flop, hence no movie for 20 years.
Man, in what kind of alternate reality you live in? We're talking about the same movies? I'm not saying he's f**king Christopher Nolan, but it is a fact that his movies are well received and universally liked/loved my most people, there is really nothing to argue there.
No one is expecting you to like anything and it's OK to be cautious... take 10 people on this board, at least 8 will have very different expectations of what this movie should be, what any movie should be, really... and like anybody else, i just care for what i like.
Having said that, now would be the time to at least stop making yourself look like a opinionated person with no knowledge whatsoever about anything you talk about, 'cause you come across as desperate now
