I don't know why the MCs in these Predator movies are always badass soldierdudes, other than the fact that was how the first movie went. Even the Alien franchise understood you have to mix up the character dynamics. It gets boring when every sci fi movie is a bunch of Call of Duty Men shooting aliens.

The fact one character is a high school teacher is interesting. If you're gonna put the Predator in suburbia, why not have all the main characters be normies? Maybe have one guy who was in the Marines or some shit to explain why he knows how to use guns but everyone else is just like soccer moms and office drones. Go all out with your setting.

It'll never happen because the only good thing in the original movie were the bodybuilders dudebros messing around. Even Arnold acknowledged it in interviews. Take the muscles out and you're left with a very generic and boring sci-fi film.

Alien is real art, Predator is filmed pro wrestling.

I think this is just a bad teaser.

I actually didn't think it was that bad a teaser, it's just not quite what I'm expecting from a Predator movie (not that going against audience expectations is necessarily a bad thing).

Even in regards to my earlier comment in this thread, I suppose the box doesn't specifically say it's from a Halloween costume company, it could just be that someone came into possession of the Predator armor and weapon, thought it was a fancy Halloween costume and decided to sell it as such on eBay.

The son, who reportedly is autistic, accidentally brings the Predators to Earth. That's not even half of it:



Other then stealing unused plot points from Predators, the plot of The Predator sounds very half assed and unimaginative.

Forget about vaccines and aluminium-salts, that text is enough to turn people autistic.

Or something completely ridiculous like prepper hillbillies.

It features a dude with a minigun, it's automatically awesome.
Also, this scene is art in its purest form.

Are you sure you not talking about Halloween III?
Presiona para expandir...

I really like Halloween III (which I own on BluRay), so some I'm not averse to a Predator movie featuring some supernatural Halloween costume shenanigans (okay, I know alien technology isn't technically "supernatural").
 
"The new Predator is every bit as good as the 1987 movie. I tried watching it a month ago and it was just SO cheesy. Another case of people blinded by nostalgia goggles."

You just know some schmuck on reddit is going to make that post.

A pet peeve of mine but I hate how trailers for movies like this always start with the piano music and a close up of an innocent child being a kid and then...THINGS get real. I fucking hate that shit.

Movie looks like and will be dogshit. Predator movies have to be loaded with testosterone and violence. Even the sequel with Danny Glover had Predator going to the hood. Yes, I liked that movie.

I have a theory that most people who like Predator 2 and Alien 3 are pretty chill people. I'm a little more optimistic about Predator 4 but Predator 2 is a damn good sequel.

While I will admit Alien Cubed at least attempted something interesting, it still fell flat and after discovering William Gibson's script I just feel thoroughly cheated out of what would have been a way more awesome movie.
 
Predator 2 is fun. Alien 3 is sorta okay but I had mostly liked where Dark Horse was taking the story and wasn't feeling 3 too much when it came out.
 
Watch the Assembly Cut of Alien 3. If you still dislike it then okay, to each his own. I appreciate that it was bleak and was a hard right turn for the series. Most fanboys hate it just because there's no guns and Hicks and Newt die.

The only quibble I have against Gibson's script is that it would have ended up feeling very dated with the Cold War themes so deeply structured into the plot. But looking past that minor issue, it would have been superior in every way to the movie we got.

Yeah at the time the EU (lol same as it ever was) had been kicked off with The Further Adventures of Newt and Hicks, so another installment of the movies comes in and literally kills that and you're gonna rustle some jimmies.

That was a big reason why Fox passed on his script. That and I think it was a matter of cost since it was going to be a two-parter.

I appreciate where guys like that are coming from, especially since the comics were so fucking well done (er, except Female War). But as I said, I like that the movie embraced nihilism the way it did. Shit happens. Not everyone gets a happy ending and that to me is refreshing.

I mean, the lack of Hicks is admittedly a huge drawback for me. Michael Biehn was sorely missed.

I think we can all agree Resurrection is a giant load of crap though.

He was definitely a likable character but the producers didn't want to make an Aliens 2. They wanted something different. By the time Resurrection happened they just didn't give a fuck and said as much publicly.
 
I'm in the very small minority that doesn't loathe 4.

I had already seen City of Lost Children so I was able to go "oh shit it's Aliens vs City of Lost Children!"

Also I liked the sets. I knew one guy who was hyped because he said it was the first Wynona Rider action figure.
