    @Victor-Meldrew Definitely could have been better with a bit more imagination or something. Very heavy handed at the end.

    Hmm, I predict that Pitt will be quite annoying (not to mention mediocre) in his role. He's no Lee Marvin.

    Clicked on the start of this thread by accident, fair to say no post has aged as poorly as this, Brad was AWESOME !

    One of the most underrated films of my lifetime

    The Predator

    I'm now 40mins in to this movie and it's the stupidest movie I can recall watching this year. And possibly last year. Laughably bad script, with woeful casting.

    I mean Jake Busey as someone with a "PhD in Physical Sciences from Cornell University"?

    Wait. Are you suggesting for one moment that Guy Ritchie is a knock off Tarantino?

    From a review of one of the (very) many Hellraiser sequels:

    There's at least one shot where Pinhead has a leather S&M ponytail. That's the kind of shit that happens when you don't have Doug Bradley on the case. Pinhead can't be in Rusted Root.

    Not sure if posted, but yeah, don't bother. Decent premise, decent actors, boring as fuck. 2 Damian Lewis's out of 10 shithouse characters.

    Alien Romulus.

    Very decent overall. Some really nice bleakness in the lifestyles of the future, hopefully that doesn’t come true. Really nice touches/throwbacks to the first two movies in particular. The android character was well done and the creature at the end was pretty damn fucked up.

    Possibly loses a few marks for retreading a bit TOO much at times, what I liked about Covenant is that it was on an actual planet as opposed to dark corridors of a ship….been there done that…..

    3.75 obsolete androids out of 5 face huggers

    Also……

    do we really need yet ANOTHER heroic female who survives when no one else does ? That’s four of them in total now

    Some nerds online complained about the Ash/Rook Android…..looked a tiny bit CGI at times but I thought the idea of another fucked up evil model was cool, ie we as viewers instantly knew not to trust that arsehole

    @MN5 I watched it two nights ago and loved the beginning 20mins. The effects and acting were top notch but like you I felt it got formulaic.

    Having said that it's still a bloody good way to spend a couple of hours and a worthy addition to the franchise.

    Interested in the ferns view on this.

    The original is one of the best movies ever so I’m sceptical, then again I’m not sure they could get two better guys than Bale and Fassbender……

    Will be interesting!!!

    Why? Hollywood has an obsession with remakes.

    A re-watch is due.

    Is that real? It doesn't look real with Hunnam above Bale in the credits.

    I've heard about Mann making a prequel, but then wouldn't it have a different name than just Heat.

    If true, would win a record for director remaking the same movie the most time I guess.

    Excellent point. Possibly not.

    Unusual for the internet really.

    I don't know why they didn't just make another film. Lazy
