The continual destruction of great 20th century sci-fi is alive and well. Fuck Hollywood.

Shane Black has given us some real turds at the theater recently, but I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic.
Yep. But as someone pointed out to me on another thread, Shane Black was actually IN the first Predator movie (spoiler alert - he dies). So I guess we have to give it a chance.

The Predator reinvents itself
Most of the predator rehashes lack the feel of the original. The predator was cloaked through most of the first film stalking and observing, so you never really knew what it was. In the new ones, stealth and the stalking doesn't seem to be in the characters. Only viscous death. And this one, at least by the previews, doesn't seem to express the dread of the eventual victims like the first.
Redbox for me.
I agree with your point however at this time in the Lore humans have seen predators before and their weapons, that fear is no longer going to be as it was the first time.
That, and the vagina with teeth face would make me die of a heart attack.As a race/species, sure, mankind has seen them. But 99.9% of actual people would still have no idea what these towering alien motherfuckers, shooting plasma bolts and jumping from tree to tree while invisible, actually are. They should still be terrified.
As excited as I am to see a new Predator movie coming there's a reason I haven't seen anything past Predator 2. And to be honest this trailer feels a lot like the rest of the trash we've seen. Looks cool but feels cheesy. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Not me. I'm picking up the 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray of the 1987 original.Meh. I'll wait for video.
film can be grainy so it will get transferred too.I just got the Predator collection from Amazon in 4k BR - Predator, Predator 2 and Predators. Great audio but video (on the 1st two) are on the grainy side. I'm guessing the masters / originals are what they are.
Alien - replace one guy with gal and you have Aliens as well. I liked Alien 3. Not sure why it was disliked so much.Why have the creators of Alien, Predator, Aliens, etc. completely MISSED THE POINT with the sequels?
Predator: A movie about tough-as-nails commando guys filled to the ears with grade-A American testosterone get literally torn apart one by one by an invisible, terrifying force much stronger and more powerful than them. Only one man, using his brains and cunning can survive.
Predator sequels: LOOK ACTION BOOM EFFECTS BLOOD AWESOME
that prob means audiences likes will be at 75%+ rotten tom's usually backwards.Alien - replace one guy with gal and you have Aliens as well. I liked Alien 3. Not sure why it was disliked so much.
This crappy movie comes out tomorrow. 41% Rotten.
