Well, to everyone else, it does. Fans of the original versions of these latter day offerings, who grew up watching and enjoying movies from 30,40, 50 yrs ago WANT to see their heroes or classic villains treated with some level of respect.

THIS ISN'T IT.

To put it simply, we're TIRED of seeing everything old and awesome Disneyfied into stuff that sucks.

Just make a sci-fi alien kid friendly character of their own. Instead they skin walk a beloved character or franchise and ruin it. They’re scared to make original movies like that because of their reputation so they do the bait and switch shite.

Well, to be fair, that's what Zack Snyder tried to do and we got Rebel Moon.



I mean, it wasn't totally original. It was a reworked Star Wars story, but juuuuust different enough to be called 'original'.

That’s not Disney though, what happened there is Netflix liked the performance of Army of the Dead so they signed Snyder to a deal that let him run free with those silly movies. What Disney does is strip mine popular IP but ruins them which is worse. Prey was made for $65mil and it did well but they didn’t release it in theaters so they figured if they used the same guy and doubled the budget they’d have a big hit. The difference is Prey was much closer in tone with the true Predator movies. There are similarities with some of the characters but BLs is far more cartoonish, CGI slop.

Correct. Disney buys established IP's, made for males, and then womanizes them while adding cute merchable critters to the story.

It’s just a bad model objectively. You look at any long going franchise, they have one thing in common, they don’t stray too far from the original premise. Horror franchises like Saw, Final Destination, Scream, Fri-13, Freddy. Franchises like 007, they don’t change at their core, they just follow the zeitgeist as the peripheral of the story. Disney, like you said, completely alters the core of these franchises. It doesn’t work.

Yes it does. Just listen to Grace Randolph and all the happy little compliant movie goers. It's an amazing success! You're just hate bombing stuff because you're stuck in the past. Move on already, Kill it, if you have to.

Or something like that.

Who knows where that lunatic is coming from. She’s all over the place with her takes. Disney does pay for alot of positive reviews, every movie they’ve put out for the last year or so follows the same pattern. Every movie or show starts out as the best thing ever then 8 months later it’s shite.

Their mission is to get people to not watch movies that they haven't watched.

The majority of posters here who saw this movie liked it. But these two post so much about how bad it was is almost like it's sponsored.

I mean one says he doesn't have time to watch the movie yet posted a 120 minute review of it.

I suggest we all just stop responding to them.

As usual all you do is lie. I’ve seen the movie, you know I’ve seen it and just like the last thread you pulled this stunt in you continue to lie about that and still do to this day. Neither of us have told anyone to not like or not see this movie. You on the other hand have attacked every single person who hasn’t worshipped it completely.

Kaiju once again relying on someone 's opinion on a movie rather than just seeing it himself. You're quite literally an NPC

It's hilarious watching them cope so hard with movies they didn't see but don't like doing well. If the movie does well at the Box office but poorly with reviews they'll point to that if it bombs they'll point that out while ignoring the strong audience scores they pulled the same shite with Fantastic Four and Superman.

Keep moving the goal posts

Lots of straw men and make believe. Tends to only come from one side.

They did the same thing with Alien Earth.

Because the predator franchisees of almost 40 years old and I’ve never seen any predator movie ever. Right.

And all of them for very good reasons. They were trash.

That's MY opinion. I've seen decent movies, and bad, in theaters. I won't bother listing them, because you don't want to deal in facts or details.

But for all the fuss, I think I'll see and post MORE YouTube reviews.
