Female lead will kill the predator with a lampost that an alien has pulled out of the ground and handed to her to use as a spear, and a dustbin as a shield

I enjoyed the first film the second was much better the later ones you can pretty much keep honestly I like the idea but the basic premise of an alien race "on safari" with a bunch of inferior humans is a one trick pony that can only be flogged to death so many times unless theres some expansion on who/what/where they are/come from and why its pretty much a dead duck as far as I'm concerned.
I thought you were talking about videogames there for a moment.

Thinking back to the trailer - The predator killing the bear from behind whilst it's busy doing something else is a very "non-predator" thing to do, there's no "honour" for the Yautja in that kill - very odd compared to the pre-existing lore.
She also can't beat a bear but will end up killing the predator - don't expect modern Hollywood to follow established lore/to make any sense.

It's a straight to Hulu film for a franchise that was always cinema - Expect it to be an entertaining action horror. for home viewing without the need to know Predator lore/history.

Straight to streaming isn't really a negative any more though. Plenty of big films do that. It's not like the Predator series has ever been particularly high budget afaik.

And I doubt the last entry or two inspired confidence in the studio for big box office returns!

It's still going to be good and fun to watch, I just mean don't expect the returns some might expect with it finally being a new Predator film is all.

There’s a new alien movie?!?
Was announced a few months back, Fede Alvarez to write/direct - i'm quite excited, I thought his take on Evil Dead was excellent and Don't Breathe was a tense horror movie as well. He'd definitely top a list of folk I think would get the Alien series back to where it needs to be.

This looks like some Mary Sue bobbins. In real life, the tribal elders/chief would have smacked the girl back into the Neolithic era for daring to go hunting/practice hunting skills when it was forbidden.
Just as well this isn't real life then isn't it?

You can’t beat the original
I've read in a few places that there is a minor push-back from some Native Americans about this film disrespecting Comanche culture, where traditionally the Men are the Warriors, so to show them having to be saved by a woman (even a Comanche one) is being called a sign of disrespect to the Comanche Tribe so I wonder if things like this Language choice will placate the angry voices.
I mean TBF it's not much of a protest by any means, just a few dozen comments against the various teaser/trailers but I wonder it might get more vocal toward the release date.

Ha. Have you seen the first movie?
Do you think a special forces team would have lugged a mini-gun through a jungle? Do you think the leader would put some C4 type explosives on a vehicle the guerilla fighters are using for power, lifted it up in full view of the camp and let it roll in to the camp to kill a few people? Do you think they would have used grenade launchers to blow up buildings they hadn't scouted out when they were supposedly on a rescue mission? The first movie is ridiculous but we give it a pass because its Arnie.
