If he's under N.D.A, he will tell you as much as me :-)

yehh, but at least if he likes it we would have 2 people on the Forum who saw it and liked it

Yeah, don't expect to hear spoilers or details. Just want his opinion about the quality of the movie. You (SyntaX) gave it an 8 out of 10.
Now i would like to hear his rating. :-)

Good to see a really positive review. Sounds like another good Shane Black movie with bad trailers (although the last one was much better) if it's really as good as SyntaX is saying, I'm hyped now.

Hope this one has good rewatch value...which predators(2010) lacked!

Well ... you guys are in for a treat 

It's nowhere near Predator (honestly, what can top that one) .. but it's a MUCH better than Predator 2 and Predators. Some great humor, some really gory bits and some suprises spread out in the movie that will certainly catch the attention of those who are "invested" in this franchise.

My rating? 8/10

Unfortunatly, I have to wait till everyone else untill this thing hits cinema's again. Strange thing is ... I apparently saw an "assembly" cut of the movie. Studio's are screening the movies to critics and they will pick out the version which gets the most praise. Effects, music etc. was all done btw ...

EDIT
I'd love to answer the questions fired at me in this topic ... but I CAN NOT (and will not) go into detail regarding this movie. You can ask me anything you'd like after september 8th due to my NDA.

How were the performances in terms of any standouts, compared to Predator which basically every character had their own standout moment?

[Xan21]

Much better than Predator 2 yeah right... seriously doubt that. The designs alone look nowhere near as good.

Urgh. I've only just got home. Journey usually takes me 2 hours. Took me 5 today. So I'm in a pretty foul mood. I've gotta start working on my actual review.

I'm under NDA but I will say (and this is all until tomorrow) is that I really really enjoyed. I was actually crying with laughter at one point. However, there were 2 big things I didn't like.

Good to hear. Really excited for the reviews to start coming through tomorrow. Early buzz is pointing towards positive.

Glad you really enjoyed it overall! Looking forward to your review.

On a scale from 1 (worst) to 10 (best)...what point do you give the movie, CH?

[Corporal Hicks]

I'm not going to say anything more as I'm still seething. Need to calm down, get some grub in me and think on the film. All will be explained tomorrow.

But keep an eye on the socials. Hopefully RidgeTop gets some good stuff from the red carpet.

These 2 things were in the leaked script also or were they new elements?
