Ya there are other sites too saying the same thing. Bloody-disgusting and firstshowing also say that the film is pretty damn good. I hope the target audience likes it. In the end the so called professional critics will probably tear it apart.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches I don't know but great tracking and good reviews can only be helping this. I still don't see this club succeeding but still 100m+ could be in store if the movie opens above 40m or so that tracking is suggesting.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches I just think Fox has done such a shit job marketing this. And the appeal of the franchise is extremely limited.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches Amazing link and really nice review still the marketing might be too late and the battle has definitely been lost. I mean the OW could have been so much better had the marketing kicked-off earlier. The best it can do is a decent 2nd week hold but that will be all for a good WOM. 50m can still happen though which I would say would be great considering the movie was made in about 45-50m budget only.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches BKB, what about a bet? I say Inception will more than double Predators' total.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches http://blog.cinemaautopsy.com/2010/07/0 ... tors-2010/Awesome!! 100% FRESH at RT with it's 1st official review..Before even finding out the identity of Royce (Adrien Brody), a cold-hearted mercenary, we are introduced to him unconscious, plummeting from the sky in freefall. An automatic parachute opens and he lands in a strange jungle along with a bunch of other bewildered strangers who are dangerous criminals, elite soldiers or a combination of the two. The one things they have in common is that they are confused, expert killers and pretty unpleasant people. It takes them a while to figure out what the audience already knows – they are game for the species of super-hunter aliens known as Predators.
The good news for many fans is that this fifth cinematic outing for the Predators is a sequel to John McTiernan’s 1987 film Predator and Stephen Hopkins’s 1990 sequel Predator 2 with the two widely disliked spin-off/Aliens tie-in films unacknowledged. In fact, only the events from McTiernan’s original film are referenced and referred to. By calling the film Predators the filmmakers are evoking the relationship between the original Alien film and its sequel Aliens by implying that Predators is the rightful follow-up film to Predator and promises to up the ante in terms of action and the number of creatures for the human characters to contend with. While Predators 2 is an overlooked guilty pleasure, this new Predators does feel like the proper sequel. The setting is once more a jungle, although this time an alien one, and the idea of what it means to be a hunter and to be the hunted is explored further.
Royce (Adrien Brody) and Isabelle (Alice Braga)
There is a nice bit of poetic justice at play in Predators where the human characters realise that they themselves are predatory types and they are able to recognise many of the tricks and strategies used by the Predators. The Predators themselves are revealed to be a more complex race than originally depicted with their own brutal version of racial hierarchy. Nevertheless, all the Predators are warriors and the idea that there could be non-warrior versions of the species is unlikely to ever be explored, which is a shame as somebody could have a lot of fun revealing that the Predators are in fact the pro-hunting gun-nut equivalent of an otherwise peaceful and civilised alien race.
For the most part Predators is B-grade fun in the best possible way. Producer Robert Rodriguez had originally begun developing this film as far back as the early 1990s after the success of El Mariachi but Hungarian filmmaker Nimród Antal (Vacancy, Armoured) has ended up directing. Antal’s Hollywood films are yet to fully live up to the promise he displayed in his début film Kontroll but with Predators he nevertheless does an excellent job filming the various action scenes. Predators is well paced with a good build up and the right degree of character development you need to care about the fate of the human characters. There are also a few genuine surprises and twists.
Predators does somewhat fall apart towards the end with a drawn out and messy conclusion with a few too many improbable factors letting down what was a reasonably strong film until then. Predators is certainly no Aliens (but then again Predator was never on par with Alien either) but it is still a fun ride. With its diverse group of anti-heroes, believable action and absence of smart-ass self-reflexivity, it delivers the sort of engaging spectacle that characterises the action films of the 1980s.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches That is just a 3 star out of 5 for a movie releasing this weekend. Inception has been getting 4-4.5 star out of 5 for a movie releasing after 2 weeks.
I'd say the movie will overwhelm compared to what were the early low predictions still will not be able to withstand much more than 50m-60m.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches When the reviews hit today at 6pm then BKB will understand that Predators shouldn't even be compared to Inception.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches HAHHAHAHAHAHAA @ this thread and BKB.
Infact, now I think people are so into Inception that anything less than that and they will trash the movie i.e. predators.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches I don't even see why Predators and Inception have to be compared in the first place, but I don't think anyone will ever understand how BKB's mind works.

Re: PREDATORS>INCEPTION: Summer OWNAGE At It's Finest Bitches I am sure it will come down from 100% though it might still stay fresh (expected 65%). Also the current "Average Rating" is not that promising 6.9/10.
Again, only if the marketing had done a good job with this one Fox could have had a money maker with only 40m budget.
