And whats with that white dude turning into an alien? HUH!? maybe they explained it but I tuned out, to be honest, it looked boring and I started playing some music.
The alien predator himself looks like its gonna be some mindless killer when in fact it’s an intelligent creature capable of thought and obviously space flight, so essentially these predator aliens are probably 10x more advanced and intelligent than modern humans.
But no, today’s Hollywood is incapable of telling a story about intelligent aliens that come here to hunt. its gotta be all action all the time.
I wish they’d stop rehashing these classics tho. lazy ass Hollywood.
Also, I’m reading a lot of reviews bashing the generic looking cast. which is code for “LOOK ANOTHER PRETTY WHITE BOY OR HIPPIDY HOPPITY BLACK DUDE”
I don’t understand that argument? because an overwhelming number of Hollywood movies feature a white lead actor, usually ridiculously attractive… but somehow THIS one has a generic cast?
but the black guy in the trailer is anything but generic… he came off like an intelligent BLACK MAN in a prominent role, we don’t get that that often.
Thanks for directing my attention to Mandy. I didn’t love everything about Beyond the Black Rainbow, but I’m very interested in seeing other things that dude makes.
Also, I think Predator looks decent. There’s a lot of action in the trailer, because it’s a trailer. Shane Black does a decent job of backing action up with interesting plots. Plus, how can someone see Keegan Michael Key in a film and say the cast looks “generic.”
Kinda reminds me of the plot line to straw dogs or mad max one.
guy loses his wife (kidnapped/killed/raped/whatever) and he goes nuts trying to get her back or exact vengeance.
Nick cage wielding a chainsaw in a fight ought to be worth the ticket price though.
