Can’t say I’m impressed to be honest..

Wow, that looks incredibly average.

Mark1989 · 10 May 2018 at 15:13

Looks generic and cack, based on that glimpse won't be a cinema watch

VincentHanna · 10 May 2018 at 15:26

Yeah, generic looking trailer with the usual loud noises and music.

However, it is only a teaser.

They need to remove the Ironman 3 bit

But the point even of a teaser is to get us interested and intrigued that did neither

VincentHanna · 10 May 2018 at 15:35

Indeed.

But I've seen bad teaser trailers for good movies.

I'll give it the benefit of doubt because of Shane Black.

Not even going to bother watching that teaser, says it all really.

Yup, A very well made teaser is all you need.

Yup if a teaser does its job I'll just watch that and go see the film and avoid any trailers in between

Definitely not something they should using as a selling tactic!

VincentHanna · 10 May 2018 at 16:37

It made 1.2 Billion at the box office...

EssexBoy · 10 May 2018 at 16:37

This looks poo, what a let down.

.................and, based on that trailer, I'm out!

I had high hopes for Shane Black after his passion for the lore and he being in the first one (so not wanting to poop on it) but that trailer looks like "Generic action/horror movie number 43" and NOT a Predator film!

Why can't studios, despite throwing oodles of money at this, recreate the feel of the "original" 80's films like Alien/Aliens, Predator, Terminator etc? Are directors worse, are actors worse, are effects worse, are scripts worse - just what is it that makes it impossible to hit the right note with all these "new" films compared to the older ones?

Predator gets Last Jedi'd. Looks awful.....

MissChief · 10 May 2018 at 18:22

Remember when they said it had to be really, really hot for the Predator to arrive, survive and hunt? The producers and studios clearly don't.

They need to stop trying to remake the feeling, every one views films differently, it's impossible they need to make it there own take not worry about upsetting original fan base etc.

I feel that's half the problem, if they just did maybe how they wanted as in the director himself and not Hollywood it would probably help.

Sigh, that looks dross

Are you expecting them do to a predator 2 where everything looks over the top in terms of heat? Can't say that it looks "hot" or not in the trailer, this is 28 years after the second movie after all.
