Did anyone else go see The Predator?
« on: September 22, 2018, 01:59:49 AM »
I thought it was pretty entertaining overall.  There were a few things that I disliked about it but it was definitely entertaining and there were many times where the whole audience erupted with laughter.

The original came out when I was in grade school and was probably my favorite movie when I was in elementary school back in the 80s.

Anyone else see it yet?

but....

What about special effects and current year and stuff?

I quite liked the prequel they made of The Thing for those reason-ish reasons.

There's nothing stopping a sequel from being good (Aliens, T2 and etc) other than the makers putting out crap.  For every Aliens there's 50 AvPs, unfortunately.  I was mildly hopeful for The Predator, but I'm not tremendously surprised it's not stellar.

Effects cannot improve a garbage script or acting.
