Let's reboot, the reboot of a reboot!

I dont know why people get all pissy over reboots. it doesnt take anythign away from the original. Worst case senario is it sucks and you lose 90 min of watching a movie. We have all watched many crappy movies.

For me, with movies, if they are half ass entertaining i am fine with it. If it sucks. ill just shut it off.

These modern day Predators are have become even more bad ass.

I'd say more bad ass than the 1%ers.

Excellent point.

A movie works or it doesn't. This isn't 1970, 1980 or 1990, in which we all went to the movies completely blind. Back in those days, the "critics" were almost anti-movie, so reading a good review of a fun a blockbuster movie was nearly non-existent.

There are dozens of reviews online before a film like this even opens, so you can make your decision to see it well in advance.

I agree for the most part. But reboots to push an agenda (see: Ghostbusters volume: feminism) is ****ing irritating. Mostly because it seems as though EVERYTHING is trying to push an agenda.

Tell a good story - it doesn't matter what it is - and I'm in. Set out to "educate" the audience, **** you.

I'm not anti remake - I'm anti bad remake. If I like movie X, and Hollywood churns out a half dozen increasingly inferior and less profitable rehashes of "X" then eventually the money guys will decide "People just don't like X anymore."

**** Hollywood for churning out so many shitty movies.

**** the brain dead audience for rewarding them by continuing to go see so many shitty movies.

It seems as if reboots are generally not good movies.


When people see "reboot" they already expect shit because that is generally what happens.


There are exceptions, of course.

The important question is whether it's an all-female production.

There are far more 'Poltergeist' type remakes than 'Ocean 11' types.

I'm a fan of all things Predator. I've even read all of the AVP books.

Predators had a really great premise but they kind of missed the mark on it. I have to say I wasn't a fan of the new race of predators. I'm also not a fan of Adrien Brody and Topher Grace or whatever their names are..

BigRichard 05-15-2016 08:55 PM

I am guessing the Predator will be a transgender lesbian Mexican to fit in with the PC crowd.

I thought Predator 2 was a huge missed opportunity...loved the premise and that movie still holds a special place in my heart even though it's panned across the board.

Anyways...The Rock has to be the lead in this.....right?

Predator 2 was great, it did not have the iconic lead star like Arnold. It gave us tons of new toys like the spear, net gun, disc for the predator.

Predators was good as it gave us another more badass race of predators. Wish they were doing a sequel off of this. Maybe have the two remaining hook up with a new group of killers including Arnold to get off world.

The ones I did not like were the AVPs as they were not rated R. Outside of the Predator with the dual shoulder cannons they were lame.

ThaVirus 05-16-2016 02:50 PM

Speaking of missed opportunities, AVP really blew it. The Preds looked like 7' dwarves with all the gear in AVP. Not to mention 2 of the 3 died within the first 3 minutes of meeting the aliens.

Requiem atoned for the Preds a bit but it was so ****ing dark you couldn't see shit.
