Somehow I highly doubt that The Mouse can do Predator justice at all. I think it worked in the first film because the merc guys besides Arnold were kind of d-bags anyway. We were supposed to like and identify with the motley misfits of the 2018 film, so their toilet humor didn’t come off as well.
I mean, they’re all basically fodder for the creature to kill off. To me, the mercs of the original film weren’t meant to be particularly likable, which I thought was a good narrative choice. But the vibe I got from the 2018 flick is that we were meant to like the screwball cast more. Could just be my misinterpretation though.
Original crew were real mercenaries ( 1987), liked the characters myself. The 2018 motley crew? I didn’t find the script funny, or the characters endearing. So I’m going for the 1987 asss kicking guys, with bad table manners.
What about The Thing ( John Carpenter ) how does that compare with Alien. “Mac .. wants the flame thrower”.
Original Predator even though probably every kid for ten blocks seen it together and all say I fell asleep.I did not fall asleep,I was trying to stay comfortable in those backbreaking chairs in that second run theater! As a young kid I was underwhelmed with the original Alien but Aliens the sequel was huge to me.The other Predators and Alien III were awful.I really liked the Alien prequels quite a bit I must say.
Good news for Predator fans Disney wants to reboot Predator with Robert Rodriguez directing and Quentin Tarantino ( hopefully) doing the script. Disney wants to bypass Shane Black’s effort. www.wegotthiscovered.com
Didn’t mind RR production on 2010 Predators. But.. with a bigger budget, maybe we can get part two of (2010) Predators with Royce and Isabelle leaving the planet.
See Marvel Comics have bought the rights for Alien & Predator. Could see The Predator in MCU. Ha! Disney own MCU now.
Really? Wow. Mixed feelings for me. Predator is not a super hero, nor really a villain.. From this perspective it seems to be a major step back. On the other hand, the Predator creature has been seriously wasted overall. The original film was a great statement. The second movie has its fans all these years later, but as would become par for the course, it was largely a wasted opportunity. Predator coming to a city should have torn it up. Instead we got voodoo. None of the Alien v. Predator movies have been worthy, imo. They're terrible, actually. Then we had Predators - more rubbish. And the last movie, which they really should have had the good sense to burn before anyone saw it, was a dud. I was always nervous when they combined Alien with Predator, the whole comic book mentality does nothing for either character in my opinion. I'd of liked a darker path for both. If they put Predator in a super hero movie - well, nothing good will come of it......
Disney / Marvel has already got a Predator comic with Iron Man’s head cut off blood spurting out. A taster methinks.Maybe Disney wants to get dirty.
Yes...why would they do that ? Sane thing in ' Covenant ' " The air is breathable! I'm taking off my helmet ! " Even more stupid is the idea they are going to stay on this totally unknown planet ( with its breathable air ) after the company has invested billions of dollars finding a specific planet and outfitting a ship with people to colonize it.
Predator 5 Is getting made. Set in the past .. American natives vs Predator. Guess a smaller budget, Disney production with Dan Trachtenberg “10 Cloverfield Lane “ The Boys “ directing it.
I like anything with the aliens in it because they are ugly and gross. I voted for Alien, Aliens, Predator and Alien vs. Predator. I loved all that I saw, but I never saw the last 4 films in the poll.
