Yep One scene that could have gone totally wrong, was the ankle part....basically these suits were sooo thick, that some parts where the weapons had to be mounted on, they had to "cut" away at the flesh part, so the weapons and armor doesn't look too ridicoulously big.

One part was the ankle...basically my buddy designed this ankle armor thing, but during the shoot, I guess the film crew forgot to attach it, so here was this hulking predator and around the ankle was a really, really skinny section and all of a sudden you have the giant foot. He had a picture and it looked sooo bad. I guess they fixed all the mistakes via CG.


Another sucky hollywood move was the boomerang thingy....At first my friend designed this cool batarang/shuriken thing that actually worked! But the directors and stuff said "Naaahhh...the blades have to be bigger!! So they CGd the blades in...I thought the actual working blades popping out looked cooler and was much more believable.

YOu should check out the art of book thats coming out..My instructor's publishing company is printing it out. It debuted (sp?) at comic-con this weekend. PRetty interesting book.

 

Negative. Predator will win.

 

Not that it isn't blatantly obvious that this movie will suck dry hairy balls, but you can always be 100% certain of the suckiness when its title is marketed as a catchy abbreviation. Movies like this aren't written in the traditional sense; they're developed by the marketing dept and pitched to soulless execs and preteen focus groups. This isn't a film, rather a 2 hour commercial to introduce you to their new franchise (which of course, they planned far, far in advance). And the worst part is, the public actually pays money to sit down and watch this shit, which only encourages them to make more.

Hollywood can kiss my asssssssss.

 

you guys tend to forget that hollywood is all about making money, not satisfying purists...

 

Of course it's about making money, and that's my point. Hollywood is now ONLY about making money, and it wasn't always like that. Major studios used to make enough money while managing to retain some form of dignity and artistic merit.

 

Hollywood's been like that for the past 20 years... seems like it shouldnt be a shock to ppl...

 

No it hasn't. It's been going downhill since the 70s, and it was nowhere near as bad in the 80s as it is today. And given that, yeah, people shouldn't be suprised. They should be insulted.

 

I just saw it, i enjoyed it.

 

Only thing that sucked about it was that it was PG-13. All the previous Alien and Predator movies were more violent. Predator 2 even showed some vag.

 

i just saw it tonight and i thought it was more of a comedy than an action flick.
