From what I have heard most people liked it. It is the movie critics that did not like it, this honestly seems to happen now everytime an old movie is remade now. People have a hard time with change now a days unless it is buying a new phone.


its not a remake technically because they talk about the previous encounters



but the problem is people are trying too hard to be pseudo intellectuals nowadays and forget that some movies are literally just for the action


none of the predator movies were ever deep, yet now this movie is being judged by it's ability to be butterfly effect level of thought provocation




the movie was awesome

the stupid one liners were funny the predators looked fucking insane lots of fun explosions and the most dangerous game style finale


is it Prometheus as far as next gen versions of classic movies go? no but it's a damn good watch

They literally changed the story line of previous movies, essentially ruining them canonically.

"Looking for DNA" is a way worse premise than hunting for sport. Especially in an action movie.

If they wanted just action they should have not even put in the horrible explanations for everything. I would have been happy just accepting that the predator was a traitor, and that the other predator was hunting him. Didn't need any of that other stuff.

Prometheus was also terrible.... seems like you just enjoy awful movies. That's fine, but I'm not sure how anyone could tell anyone with a straight face that this movie isn't a complete pile of dogshit. From the trailers alone you can tell how unwatchable it is lol.

The movie is supposed to feature the larger more aggressive species of predators right? Was there ever a distinction, or reference, of the two different types in the movie? Any lore advancement or same rehashed story?

Predators had two and that's arguably the best Predator movie ever made. I like it more than the original personally, but that's cause the original is dated as fuck lol. It's still cheesy 80s action goodness, but it's badddd.
