    Predator '87 Trailer v '18

    I'll never forget the first time I saw this trailer. It was before Secret of My Success. What's remarkable was at the time, you really didn't know what this was about. The narrator implies it's an alien ("nothing like it on Earth before") but unless you were reading Starlog or the like, it wasn't defined. The Predator POV via technology was so different it made me question what was actually going on. I remember thinking it could have been a human creation and that was the trap they walked into.

    With the latest The Predator trailers, you see Fox has given up on the teens and are now trying to hearken back to the two main elements of the first film.

    1. The Most Dangerous Game

        Talk about giving away the whole movie in the trailer... that first one is terrible.
        Fresh, not from concentrate.

                Yeah, that's kinda neat.

                I remember seeing the original in the theater... seeing the camouflaged Predator effect in the jungle blew my mind. I knew nothing going in, and couldn't wrap my brain around what my eyes were seeing on screen. Just so startling and unsettling. Excellent storytelling through editing and special effects.

                    I'm not. Just...prepare yourself.

                    I really think it's the end of Black's career as a director. Even if it's not his idea, he's always going to be associated with it.

                      Shane Black directed Iron Man 3, one of the worst big budget superheroes movies ever made.

                        Far from it! It wasn't even the worst Iron Man movie, heh.

                          There's only one Predator movie.

                            I'd even go so far as the worst (of the most recent superhero movies).

                              well, I had to just go look at the spoilers for the ending and I don't see it as all that bad. Its a progression of the storyline and should result some interesting developments to advance the plot instead of just another Predator comes to earth to hunt people for fun and people fight back story.
