Thank god i didn't spend money on this and will still watch it for free, but don't create a new Alien/Predator thead. After Covenant and this film it will be have the cheeriness of a morgue.

*still waiting for CrutchCricket to report back* The Predator is the most disappointing thing since the last most disappointing thing's son. Yeah, it's Plinkett review-worthy bad. It starts out decent, has a lot of good ideas, to the point where a good Predator movie was almost there, under the surface. But then the nosedive it takes is perfect in its trajectory of garbage. Also, it might literally have been edited on cocaine. I may go in more detail later, if I still go through with an Alien/Predator thread. Check another one off of the list Well ... at least we still have Harry Potter *sticks head in oven*

I read them when I was a kid. This was not a condemnation of the movies btw. For a while there I re-watched all 8 around Christmas. I just prefer Fantastic Beasts. Interesting characters (Queenie and Graves were the highlights), full wizards instead of kids, the Muggle fish out of water angle was well done, I loved the time period, and it was interesting seeing how another country's magical community differs from the British one.

Also, watching adults is a big draw. Maybe that's even intentional since a large portion of the original books have now grown up.

Meh, I consider Harry Potter the antithesis of the OG Predator. You got a bunch of kids and grown ass men fighting with friggin wands. I say drop your pixie sticks and throw down. Give me Goonies and Wolverines 10/10 times over Harry and the Wanderkin.

Honestly, they should have gone and made a movie / TV show about the Aurors. Could be a little like Fringe or similar shows, where Aurors need to deal with all the mind-bending shit that results from having so many idiots running around with access to reality-warping powers. They could have some obligatory big-bad as well. Yeah, that'd be pretty cool actually. I'd want to see them explore wizard/muggle relations going into the modern day as well. Of course, part of that may come off as Men in Black but with sticks and robes, instead of shades and chrome. Still, there's a lot of potential there. Meh, I consider Harry Potter the antithesis of the OG Predator. You got a bunch of kids and grown ass men fighting with friggin wands. I say drop your pixie sticks and throw down. Give me Goonies and Wolverines 10/10 times over Harry and the Wanderkin. To be fair, said pixie sticks can do all manner of nastiness to you with a simple word. I'll admit it's a little silly when it devolves to just shooting sparks at each other like in the movies, but the point is, anyone who's half decent at it is a borderline reality warper. That's nothing to sneer at, even if it looks comical.

That's my disconnect with Harry Potter. Just a bunch of nerds flailing around and yelling variations of "abracadabra" at one another. I did like that last two HP films a bit but I still find it hilariously weak that this somehow has anything resembling testosterone in it.

I did like that last two HP films a bit but I still find it hilariously weak that this somehow has anything resembling testosterone in it. I suppose they'll keep it because that's the visual style, but Dr. Strange has definitely one-upped it. Hell even the Sorcerer's Apprentice got more creative. I guess that'd be my criticism of it. I don't need them to dismember each other, but since magic can do pretty much anything, doing nothing but firing red/blue/green sparks at each other is a little lame. You know, that could be another selling point of an Aurors show. They can't use the Death Curse because it's forbidden and their enemies are getting too crafty for Stupefy/disarm spells, so they have to get inventive too. Cue the summonings, object warpings and fireballs.
