Shane would say "Well we already did that".
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO THIS, SHANE.
Although to be fair, we don't have the oiled up muscle men star power of the 80's. The Rock would be a good substitute for Arnold, but not enough.

Hahaha, that's about the most perfect response to this movie I can imagine.
not sure what thread you're reading homie but the reactions itt ain't exactly glowing lol
Its make the inevitable dismal reception of the movie even more hilarious (see: every DCEU film except Wonder Woman).
I had no idea this movie was coming out so soon. I thought it was still like a year out. Haven't been following it at all so that's probably why. I'll go see this good or bad, I've got some gift cards and I always end up finding atleast some entertainment out of all these sorts of movies.
On a related note I'd like to share this amazing promo for the Ultimate Predator I found:
You know I actually like the idea of an 11 foot "ultimate" predator. Sucks the CG was bad and that the character had to be part of this completely ridiculous movie.

The OP has all positive impression tweets barring one. The one extremely negative response being discussed comes from a poster and not twitter.
Unfortunately Predators was also a pile of trash and so dark that you could barely see what was going on.
Just watched the final trailer. In my head I wasnt expecting it to look so fun. I think I'll enjoy this.
there's more posts itt than the op tho? "1/5" "sometimes movies are bad" "the predator is deeply terrible" "good morning! the predator is so bad" - from other ppl at the screening
Give it to Neil Marshall, the guy made Dog Soldiers and The Descent. He knows how to handle gory R-rated action-horror and practical creature effects.
this movie sounds terrible
those 'positive' tweets posted about it reek of 'Oh I got invited to a movie it's good no matter what!' type of people.

I overall I'm glad I saw it for free. It's a matinee movie only.
I never planned on seeing this movie but
OH MY GOD! XD I just... Wow.
OH MY GOD! XD I just... Wow.

Get the rock
Oil him up
Have him fight predator in the jungle and call him a mother fucker
IT'S NOT HARD
... I have severely underestimated just how insanely dumb I expected this movie to be.
That would be criticized for just being a poor retread floundering in the shadow of the original
Honestly what they should have done is get someone like Neil Marshall or Joe Carnahan or Doug Liman, and do the original Predator 2 idea, which was placing the Predator in historical scenarios. Predator 2 was nearly going to be about a Predator stalking the Battle of the Bulge.
Or go full sci-fi and have a colonial marine squad taking on a Predator, have a xenomorph cameo in the final act for bonus points
Creed and The Force Awakens did it and they were critical and commercial successes.
You can do something different while still capturing the spirit of the original... and I think having the rock involved, who really is the modern day arnold, would go a long way.
All of these predator sequels are just going for something wildly different from the original and it's... not working. Over and over and over.
Oh my god, the leaks were REAL. I just spent the last several minutes fucking cry-laughing. This had to get APPROVED, by SEVERAL PEOPLE. I may pregame to hell and see this just for the hell of it, now. I cannot believe this shit.
My sides hurt so much.

Yeah some of the idea's don't stick the landing but I'm still fine with it being a dumb gory Sci-Fi action movie. Looking forward to seeing it this week.
Going to see this anyway especially after reading those incredible spoilers, holy shit what were they smoking. Like seriously how hard is it to make a good Predator movie. Wish they would just make Hunters Planet or something.
How can someone write this and think "Yes, this is a good idea!"?
I was about to say that I've always hated how Fox treats the Predator franchise as some red-headed step child not really worthy of attention, while the Alien franchise gets all the effort and interest.
But then I remembered that Alien Convenant exists, so I guess its fair to say that Fox (and now Disney) doesn't give a shit about either of them anymore.

Stop, you just sold me a VOD watch.
It's sad that this may kill the Predator franchise for at least another decade. On the plus side, maybe people will start seeing Shane Black for the mediocre filmmaker that he currently is. He lost his mojo.
