Predator- Box Office support and Succinct Review

dk

I treated my daughter and s/o to the opening night. This is them in the lobby prepped with snacks ready to go.

The official review was "We both like it".

Predator reigns!

How was it, dk?

It this the Aliens of the Predator franchise?

daliens Don't worry Angry Joe does not like it very much, so it's not the Aliens of the Predator franchise.

I just saw it myself. It was good. I won't give any spoilers but its definitely an action flick full of comedy. 

Keegan-Michael Kay and Thomas Jane were f&$king hilarious.

I was laughing before Keegan delivered the punch lines some of the time.

Angry Joe spent 20 minutes on a popcorn flick. He acknowledged that there was good character development, it is “worth seeing”,  “if you like schlock, you will like this film”. Joe basically bitched about a movie that he also enjoyed.

Based on that, my daughter, IRaptus and trailers, yep, I think it will be pretty good. I might have to crawl out of the cave to see it before the DVD release.

Yeah you want to see it in the cinema! It has that big cinematic entertainment feel of the Avenger, GotG, etc films. 

See it big and loud!

SuperAlien

Well, I apologize for not knowing Angry Joe. 

After reading most reviews it seems to me as a popcorn flick, packed with one liners by ex-soldiers (instead of marines),  who are there to help on a bug hunt (or ugly mfs). And there is the gigantic predator who came to Earth for the DNA of an autist child that will make the gigantic predator totally invincible. The kid, his father and the woman are the only survivors . I don't remember if they mention the predator king is dead or he escaped. Probably is dead and more will return for the same specific kid's DNA.

daliens This time it's a beautiful MF (and not the actor). The mother of the child, who is the only true warrior around according to the big predator, also survives. The big predator comes for the small one however...

daliens i would agree that it is more of a popcorn flick, but it is not as shallow or crude as that.

The Predator earned $10.45 million on Friday, including $2.5m in Thursday previews according to Forbes. So far it seems according to the predictions.

I wonder  how many of those who chose to see The Nun this weekend will go for The Predator next week.
