First one was shite, got bored half way and caved in and went to IMDb where it was panned so i bailed.

Saw PREY (Predator) last night, I got exactly wat i expected....... immense mediocrity. The cast tried hard but it is just a dull story with no real edge to it. They also went a bit sill with the female lead, making her cartoonishly superhuman.

I do wonder with Predator, the first was SO GOOD but with the mystery gone now, it's hard to make a good new one. I thought Predators in 2010 was a very good attempt at a different anle and it worked but since then .... meh.

I think it was trite, melodramatic, overdone, heavy handed and self indulgent.
Very overrated imo, and the science in the film (while not a film about the science) was both wrong and oversimplified. The history was also "adapted", especially Teller's role in all of it.

Nolan jumped the shark ages ago.

Given that it won so many awards just points to how low the bar is for post Covid movies in the woke hollywood era.
They're just poop... reminds me of the hoopla around Titanic. Feh.

Glad I never started it. Reviews didn't make it look like my kind of movie.

Anybody seen this yet?

Meh, looks shite. Been done 5 times in last 5 years with different actors.

Going to see Star Wars episode I in theatres with my 8 year old son this weekend. Obviously not the best Star Wars movie, but not often you get to see them on the big screen!

Will be fun seeing it through the eyes of your son.

Just curious, is there any movies or tv shows that aren't "shite"?

Watched Warhorse One on Prime this weekend. Kept me entertained while enjoying a stick and glass of whiskey.

We've had this discussion before It is shite though, "Lone spaceman in space alone" has been done to death the last 5 years, this adds nothing.

Thanks for the heads-up.

He has seen them all, but none in theatre so far. Closest for him was seeing A new hope when the Vancouver symphony orchestra hosted it and did all the music live.

This is cool and i'd argue it's an under- rated movie because JarJar was such a terrible character. However, given your child is 8 the tough art is actually all the political chatter in the first hr or so, need to guide young ones through that so they understand the concept of what they are watching.

Yep, agree. Jar Jar is awful. But definitely cool to take your 8yo to the theater to watch this.

Had loads of fun taking my kids to the theater when they were young.

Ha, I saw this in theaters when I was a kid... I was SO excited to see it. Finally a Star Wars film I could see in theatres.

I recall leaving the theatre not wanting to admit to myself that it was truly awful. lol.

I remember seeing this one in the theater. Then the Star Wars racing game came out for the computer, was a lot of fun.

Episode I racer, so much fun. They re-released it for Nintendo switch and i played that. very difficult racing game for sure!

Ya, I never got the hype for Oppenheimer, wow, guy invents the deadliest weapon. I generally dislike movies about the military aka 'how can we figure out better ways to kill one another?'.

Can't wait for the latest Planet of the Apes, now that's my kinda warfare lol.

MONKEY MAN with Dev Patel is fantastic! 5/5
