>>
the predator blood feud thing just seemed retarded
>oh they arent cool enough, we need EXTREME predators
not to mention ugly designs on the new bloods

also no good characters
>>
>>70547664
anticlimactic ending, they're basically fucked no matter how much they keep fighting. Otherwise the movie was quite ok.
>>
>>70547664
Their called haters, the big ones hate the little ones was a stupid choice.
>>
>>70547664
It's kinda cheesy and predictable, but so were the other two. I think it's because there isn't just one which is why people love the first one and the first Alien more than the others. It kinda makes the monster less scary because they can be killed off and it removes the fear instead of being just one nearly unstoppable monster.

That being said, I liked it. Adrian Brody as a leading action star is kind of a stretch, but it was fine. Laurence Fishburne was great, though.
>>
The first act sucks, those Predator dog things look like shit and they eat up the whole beginning.

After that the rest of the movie is breddy gud.
>>
>>70547741
In the comics Predators too cowardly to hunt were made slaves, should have ran with that, could have opened up a hole new world, human/pred cooperation, struggle for freedom, even shown a level of depth in the Preds never touched.
>>
>>70547664
Its not. I really like it
>>
>>70547664

It was alright. Topher Grace, as usual, completely ruined another movie.
>>
>>70547809
I was taken aback by Brody's presence, he's sort of got the same thing that Kylo Ren has going on, looks so ridiculous that he can't be taken seriously as a tough guy

It worked for Kylo Ren, because he's meant to be a scared little boy underneath it all, but I struggled to believe Brody as action man just because of how he looks
>>
>>70548011
Same here.
But damn, Fishburne nailed it.
>that alpha pred that kills him was a good design
>>
>>70548011
He was buff and everything, but its probably the nose. He doesn't come across as an Arnold/Stallone type, but more like sniper/distanced soldier type.
>>
>>70548011
>It worked for Kylo Ren
but it didn't. he looks and acts like an autistic retard
>>
>>70548141
Fishburne really did, I had hoped he would do better as Perry white because he's actually pretty good sometimes
>>
>>70547906
>Human/Pred cooperation

That's a stupid fucking idea.
>>
>>70547664
It's essentially just an edgier remake of the original, hitting all the same beats and trying too hard to make everything more epic and unashamedly geared towards 14 year old Mexican boys..
>>
>>70548213
We all know that was the writing and not the actor.
>>
>>70548193
That's who Kylo Ren is tho...

>>70548158
It's almost undoubtedly the nose, he did fine, but Jesus he just looks so damn comical
>>
>yfw we're the game

>>70548229
Shit bait

Its been covered before. They tried to make it work with AVP but that shit movie didnt get anything right.

Special effects were good.

If you can't even understand the simplest of context clues in the first three lines of it, I'm not going to spoonfeed you.

>>70548307
>b-baait!

No. The Predators' pride is one of their most interesting and unique qualities.

They should be treating humans like the Imperial Japanese treated China. Cooperation is moronic.
>>
>we will never get an AVP movie based on the dark horse comics.

Some of those stories are far better than anything some kike screenplay writer will come up with.

>>70548383
Sounds pretty good.

I have not watched this movie in a long ass time, no need to act like such an autistic dick head. A single sentence explanation would have cleared up this retarded back and forth we've been having for the past 8 minutes.

>>70548550
They were standard, "good" this day and age is pretty thin legs to stand on. There are zero cinematic moments that you just couldnt believe you were seeing for the first time.

Considering you're the only one too stupid to get it, I like it the way it is

One of the simpliest things I hated about this movie was the casting of a frumpy-as-fuck Fishburne.

He's been stranded in a jungle hellhole for god knows how long...why did he look like he's been eating fast food every day for years?
>>
>>70548778
Dont argue or the terrorist win. We all love Predator
>>
>>70548826

Because he eats people.

Who do you think that person he was talking to was?

>>70548826
I too hated this, body mass was off, considering his plight.

I'm a bit of a weeb, sure.

But I've always wanted a predator vs Samurai flick set in feudal japan.

So I unironically fucking loved the yakuza dude sword fighting the one pred, it was awesome.

Man a period peice would be awesome, Dark Horse did a comic covering the Predator who gifted Danny Glover with the flintlock, cool story... showed some of that human /predator Corporation thats such a "bad idea"
>>
>>70549010
That one went over my head man. Super troopers?
>>
>>70549061
" According to a Dark Horse story Predator: 1718, which features in Decade of Dark Horse #1 (of 4) and the collected edition Decade: A Dark Horse Short Story Collection TPB, the pistol was a trophy taken by a Yautja who hunted a band of pirates in 1718. "

" As the story goes: dropping anchor at an island in Guinea in 1718, the Captain of the small band of pirates suddenly faced mutiny over a stolen case of gold which was destined for a church. The Captain wanted the gold returned, much to the anger of his crew who turned against him. In the following battle, a watching Predator joined the fray and fought back-to-back with the Captain - attacking the rebellious crew with an extendable sword.
In the climactic scene, with the crew dead and the Predator and Captain about to battle mano a mano, the Captain is suddenly shot in the back by the last member of his crew, who was in hiding. Denied his trophy, the Predator angrily blasts the final crewman to hell. With his dying breath, the Captain whispers 'take it...' to the Predator, throwing him his beautifully engraved pistol. With the Captain dead, the Predator takes a moment to think about this battle - and with some curious respect, leaves the dead Captain his extendable sword... 'Take it.'
The final scene sees what looks like a shooting star moving across the evening sky, far above a now silent island - and a pirate ship in the bay, never to leave anchor again. "

McTiernan's fever like tone poem is far above this schlock

No but i read the 90s Preadator comics and books, with more people being slavery today then ever before its still a pretty important subject matter.

How the hell is that statment synonymous with gaming? Sorry you think pleasing everyone is universal and if not accomplished means there is zero artistic merit or merit at all.

this is my #1 problem with this movie.
because of this, i dont give a fuck and the whole thing is a chore.
>>
It would have been better if Arnold and Danny Glover would have come back like Rodriguez wanted.
>>
>>70550125
Treating films like video games, thinking anything of this trash is worth watching outside McTiernan film just because 'muh predator muh world building' is sign of ultimate plebbery and most often comparable to /v/ermin
>>
Who thinks the Shane Black movie in the works is going to take Predators to a whole new level of awesomeness?
>>
I really liked the movie. The samurai scene was pretty dope and I liked the concept of the movie. And I liked the new predator fighting the oldschool one, and having the older one getting its fucking head cut off, just gave a feeling of hoplessness, that everyone is officially fucked.


I think the main problem people had with the movie, was the twist with topher graces character. I liked the idea of it, but i feel like they didnt execute it that well. Like why the fuck would he want to murder that chick, when he fucking depends on everyone to get him out alive. It made sense when he fucked over the russian, but it just got stupid and it seemed like the writers couldnt think of a way to make him a bad guy or reveal himself properly.

shit is childish.
>>
>>70551048
Won't it basically be the same plot as Predator 2 though?
>>
>>70551152
It's like Predator 2 mixed with Blade Runner. Anyway I'd say Concrete Jungle is better than either AVP movies
>>

>Schindler's List
Its a pleb movie, Im glad you showed your true colors. You truly believe that was an example of patrician movies.

And no, movies are movies and should be judged as movies. I dont agree with the other anon who said it was videogame cancer. Its more like /co/ cancer and their obsession with accurate adaptations instead of making good films.
>>
>>70551152
same setting. the story is told from the preds POV. his goal is to re-collect the stolen tech he lost on earth in like the 30's or something.
>>
>>70551589
Aww thats correct. I remember trying to collect all of the skins. I think there was a white skin.

White Supremacists don't think Jews can make good soldiers. Despite Jews BTFO of Arabs in RL and the movie having Adrien Brody as the lead hero and a Israeli female soldier.

How the fuck did the Predators know he was a serial killer? Why would they care about a cowardly killer who has to target unsuspecting prey that can't defend itself? Seems like shitty sport to chase.

obviously the 2nd one was trash, but 1 was super fun
>>
>>70552715
Yeah, never read the crossover comics so it was the first time I saw a Predator/Alien fight. Too bad they were all rookies who died like bitches to the same alien.
>>
Honestly I really enjoyed AVP 1 and cannot understand why people hate it. Only reason I can think of is human pairing up with predator = stupid but the aliens have a history of enslaving humanity.

AVP2 was hot garbage though.
>>
>>70552819
It is also some of the inconsistency with Alien and Predator main stays.

Plus, how fucking stupid everyone on the trip was. But... the movie redeems itself with the pyramid plot because that was interesting and that one good fight with one Predator against one Alien. One thing I never got though, were these Predators the equivalent of teenagers and this is their coming of age?

Pretty much - they're inexperienced hunters at this point which is why the go down so easily compared to what we've seen before
