    That looks really bad and I'm sorry but I think this cast sucks balls but I'm still gonna check it out cause it's Predator.

    The trailer was ok. It’s not the home run I think they needed though. I didn’t like how the trailer opened with the kid, but I did like everything after that, and we got a little glimpse of the Shane Black influence in the interrogation scene

    Not only it's a very generic trailer, but it gives me AvPR flashbacks which is not a good thing.

    The fact that there’s predator tech just in a cardboard box has me questioning the quality of the writing already.

    Is this AvP:R 2? No no no no.

    I'll wait for Redbox.

    I give this my lowest form of watching. I'll watch this when it's on a normal cable channel, edited for time and content.

    Underwhelming trailer. There's nothing here that says I need to see it in theaters. I still have hopes for the movie, but they'll have to make a much better full trailer later on if they want to win over those who are skeptical about this.

    It looks like they had a mediocre alien horror script, got the rights to Predator, and find/replace the alien with Predator.

    Pretty close to "Do Not Want" territory there.

    Because most people didn't think so and homeboy is one of the most famous screenwriter/directors of all time. His name being on this is the only thing that has anyone sold on this movie

    So the director wanted to take a different approach. Big mistake. It looks bad, and the cast.. whatever.

    I was more interested in the follow-up back at their alien home planet.

    So... Why would there be Predator tech just sitting in a box for a young boy to play with?

    It's pretty underwhelming.

    Why market it as 'From the director of Iron Man 3?'

    Why not 'The director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the Nice Guys'? or 'Writer of Lethal Weapon' ?

    Also seeing the ship crash looks like AvPR....

    Going with that logic, if another remake is going to happen and it starts with "From the director of The last Jedi" I would kick my tv. Yeah that movie made money but it SUCKED.

    So with the Hybrid plot out and the previous images of what was thought to a predator riding on top of a LAV ( Military Truck) behind the turret, I'm gonna say that the merc we saw getting interrogated is going to turn into a Human -Yujita hybrid.

    So AVP:R Take 2?

    I mean the Predator is wearing a MOUT rig for Pete's sake. And ther is another "predator" with Spec-OPs gear on in the driver's seat.

    Predator's insane but not sure about this one hey. Halloween costumes and a small child activating the Predator beacon? Nah. Olivia Munn though more like Olivia Yum, haha.
