pretty unanimously praised, will conservative have a mental breakdown?


they cant scream that its a horrible film because by most account it was actually decent. they cant scream tis "woke", even people on here saying they thought it'd be woke say it wasnt. how will they cope now? post extra in the politics section? or post even more on other films "how woke is this?"

The mental gymnastics they're doing to dismiss this movie. Look at the imdb reviews

I sued the find feature to search "woke", and clicked it to show only 2star ratings. "woke" Mulan vs predator. "woke Indian". "just as I feared woke feminist propaganda"

these people are so weak and fragile its hilarious

Aren't they just trolls? Just check their posting history.

Some people are genuinely having a bit of a meltdown. So strange.

I instantly dismiss the opinions of people who use the following phrases and lines of thought when discussing this film;

- Woke

- Mary Sue (or other 'shes a woman how can she possibly do xyz' bullshit). It's just blatant misogyny.

- Make any disparaging remark regarding the ethnicity of the cast/characters (I've seen numerous people name drop Pocahontas and other notable non-White Women such as Mulan). We get it you don't like people who aren't White.

- Arguments against the language/accents. There is a Comanche dub, go watch it then if that's what you want. You know fine well why they're speaking English. For mainstream appeal as a lot of people don't like watching non-English content. It's a silly reason to trash the film.

In doing so the actual number of negative reviews diminishes, but not completely. Whenever I see someone hating on this film saying the CGI is bad or it's boring, etc, etc. It just often comes across as a bit too venomous in many cases like they're actually irritated by the film and hate it's guts. I suspect some of these people are actually like the above but instead of blatantly telling everyone they don't like it because it has a non-White Woman as the lead they try argue against it's technical aspects and story.

Don't get me wrong, not everyone will like the same thing and no doubt many people will watch this film and not care for it. But the anger some display towards it is readily apparent and belies their true reasonings.

You can look at my history and I admittedly had b very low expectations and thought it would really suck.
It was better than I thought. Definitely better than The Predator and AVP crap.
I didn't think it was as good as Predator 2 or Predators and some of the praise is a little over the top. It was a little woke, but not over-the-top. Action scenes were good. I did think the Predator looked like crap though. Too much obvious CGI. He looked too skinny, almost like the discarded Van Dam idea from the original.
Not great, but it was better than I thought it would be.

fair analysis of the film. im waiting for a... privateered 4k copy to come out

A 100 pound girl with zero muscles has beaten the predator in hand to hand combat at the end of the movie. And you think it was decent? Well the action was certainly shit. But at least we got to see some dumbo frenchmen getting slaughtered.
