    What I want to know is, what is with this lazy self referential bullshit that's in all of these modern films?
    Alien Covenant has David playing the Prometheus theme on a recorder!
    Solo has The Imperial March theme playing on a television advertisement for recruitment into The Imperial Army!
    So that means that The Imperial March exists in the Star Wars universe!?
    So I guess that means that every time Darth Vader is onscreen and The Imperial March is playing, that's not a piece of score added by John Williams, but that is actually Darth Vader blasting that music out of a boombox speaker in his chest and everyone in the scene can hear it!?
    And The Predator has the characters referring to The Predators as "Predators"!
    They were never called "Predators" in the in-universe canon, they aren't actually given any name, as no one knows how to communicate with them in order to get a name out of them, so they are just referred to as a "Thing", an "Alien" or a "Demon" by the characters in the movies.
    The movies are called "The Predator" because the "Predators" hunt humans like "Prey" and the alien characters are referred to that name (Predators) by the audience as there's no other name given to identify it as anything else.
    Calling them "Predators" in the movie as an official name, makes about as much sense as calling the alien in The Thing "The Thing" as it's actual name that it goes by.
    The names "Predator" , "Alien" and "Thing" are names given to these creatures because there's no way to communicate with them so it's impossible to know their actual name, species, history and motives, because ...
    THEY'RE MOVIE MONSTERS AND YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND THEM!
    AS THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN IS WHAT MAKES THEM SCARY!
    I can't stand how lazy modern screen writing is, as it's just a bunch of people trying to as self referential and mastabatory as possible.
    Knowing that Shane Black wrote this schlock actually shocks me, as he is a legitimately talented writer.

      Joseph Cooper they stated creative differences. They haven't said any more, and I think its fair to assume that's for legal reasons. Or because it's a personal thing so they don't feel comfortable, or the need, to discuss it in public. All we know is they won't be working with Oliver again. But anyway we got two different channels now, and I love how Val Verde's turned out, so its a win as far as the viewers are concerned.

    For a super intelligent race, they’re not really that intelligent if they consider a person with autism who feels anxiety because the world overwhelms them as the ultimate hunter upgrade.
    That’s not really an advantage to be the ultimate hunter.
    So if the predators whole mission now is to kidnap people with autism to make them in to better hunters, they really need to do some serious research, as some autistic people have learning disabilities, mental health issues, ADHD, Down syndrome etc.
    Now I’m not damning people with autism, I’m damning the writers whose only knowledge of autism is fucking Rain Man.
    And don’t get me started on that bloke with Tourettes.

    Am I the only one who hated this film *because* it was funny? Predator movies are NOT supposed to be fricken comedies! Sure, the original movie had some character humour in it up front. But once it got rolling these people were not joking around with one another, because they're watching their friends being brutally murdered. The movie is supposed to be scary and horrific, not funny!

    • @jamstonjulian6947
      @jamstonjulian6947 6 років тому +2

      Amen.
      People misremember the original as comedic because it has Arnie and some amusingly over the top action. But John McTiernan took his craft very seriously and that's what makes Predator keep your interest.

    • @Thewingkongexchange
      @Thewingkongexchange 6 років тому +5

      Yeah, everyone remembers the one-liners from 'Predator' but all the humour comes during the first act when it's all easy pickings for the team. The moment the Predator starts picking people off, the jokes stop (except for the "ugly mother fucker" line but that's to break the tension before the final fight).

    I'm 100% with Brad on The Chopped Up Predator, you can tell the studio was all up in Shane's movie with all the reshoots, BUT, I still had a goofy fun good time watching it. Some of the Black humor worked for me, the hard R gore worked for me, and the cast (except for Munn) worked for me. Not great, but I enjoyed it, def better than that other Franchise Part 5 from 2015, the truly offensive to it's franchise, piss poor cash grab Terminator: Genysys.

    I thought this film was a complete shit show, truly FUCKING AWFUL with no redeeming qualities. A complete insult to the first 2 far superior films and makes a mockery of the overall franchise. Every copy of this film should be destroyed and everyone who had the misfortune to witness this crime in filmmaking and humanity should have their memory wiped by the Men in Black flashy thing.

    They should have just done the Predator film on the pirate ship. At least in that film the "lead" dies - we know this due to the trophy Harrigan gets in the 2nd film!
    I agree that Predator isn't really a franchisable series - it does best as 1 shots. So do sequels as monster vs ninja/pirate/future tech etc. That way the film knows what it is.

  • @j-asher
    @j-asher 5 років тому

    It's worse the worst Predator movie, easily, more than AVP: Requiem because it should've learned from that movies mistakes by not setting it in suburbia, not repeat them lol The tone was uneven, some jokes were funny individually but didn't fit the movie at all, none of the plot made any sense, neither did anyone's motivations. Any cool concepts this movie could've had, (like a Predator attempting to save humanity from a more advanced hunter) it squandered them straight away. The concept of the Assassin Predator made no logical sense, a Predator is already physically and technologically superior to everything it kills, why would it harvest the DNA of its kills to add to its own? The Predator movies don't really work as sequels but better as one shots that don't have to connect, just a different Predator, in a new location, hunting new prey. That being said, I still enjoyed Predator 2 and Predators, this makes those movies look like The Godfather/Godfather part 2 lol

  • @BretHiggins
    @BretHiggins 5 років тому

    I just saw this last night (I know it's December, but there you go, I couldn't get to the cinema). It's not a good movie, it lacks the danger and suspense the genre needs. But... and I'm cringing a little... I really enjoyed it! It has a cheesy charm of its own and I feel like it knew it couldn't compete with the style of the original so it didn't try. You can see the dialogue is Shane's and the jokes are his, but the plot is barmy and I don't know what in balls they were thinking with that. It looks good, there are a couple of hilarious moments that made my inner teenager cry laughing. But still only warrants a 6/10 at most.
    Could have been great. It wasn't. But I'll be watching it again, it's the fourth best predator movie and it's better than both of the AVP's. File under P for Popcorn.

    THAT was a very sad movie, It should have been a movie in the future SAY 2120 A ship with a military team and extraterrestrial experts on the Predators. As the ship orbits a planet 5 light year from earth with a heat signal like Antarctica. A team go to the surface to locate a pyramid that has the history of the hunt on the walls in hieroglyphs, ( as the story is read out loud to the other team members, it is re-enacted ) so we can see more of how they came to hunt humans, as the team is learning a group of predators come to the pyramid to preform rituals. The team over sees a fight between two groups of predators and finds that some don't hunt humans and are willing to help the humans. As the religious group leader shares knowledge to help the humans.

    @nastylittlecritter 6 років тому +2

    The entire third act of this movie was reshot after a disastrous test screening. Look up ‘Predator Leaked Set Photos’ and I shit you not, the third act of this movie had predators in HUMAN TANKS firing fucking Gatling guns along side the human characters, fighting other Predator/Animal hybrids. Yes, the predogs weren’t the only hybrids, there were also Predators crossed with scorpions, spiders, cats, and so on. I shit you not, it was in the leaked script. As much as I’ll admit this movie was fairly dumb, I really wish this was in the movie because it looked fucking bonkers.

  • @davidjames579
    @davidjames579 6 років тому +1

    I think since it was announced this whole project's been on the downslide. No one was asking for or expecting another Predator film, then straight after Iron Man 3 hit big it was announced Black was writing and directing this. Apparently Fox just went to Black, said we'll pay you 10 mil and you can do anything you want. So they didn't have an idea, just an IP. Black might well have contributed to the 1987's script but I never was sure he was a good fit for a Predator film. He's great at zingers, and obviously he wrote Lethal Weapon so he can do dark, but Predator's not meant to really have funny lines in it. I really think he was only hired because of the huge BO on Iron Man 3. And Fox being desperate to make money off an IP gathering dust. In the end Fox got what they deserved. But the really sad thing is if a film-maker of Shane Black's experience and stature (and someone who is reportedly liked on a friendship level by a lot of people in the industry) can be treated like a promising kid like Josh Trank then there is no hope. At least not at Fox. Black might well have had some interesting, maybe inventive ideas, but as far as Fox was concerned it was always just an audit of their assets. Hopefully Disney owning them now, might have a positive effect on making them a film maker friendly studio, or at the very least ensure films are finished to be good (re Rogue One, Antman). However after the scandal, as with James Gunn, I don't think we'll be seeing Shane Black back at Disney.

Friendly Predators chilling in deck chairs, wearing army fatigues and speaking English???

    I think the beauty of the original Predator is that it's basically a slasher film in the jungle with a big feckin alien, albeit a film with great action scenes and one-liners. And like a lot of film franchises it suffers from the law of diminishing returns.
