So many here were shitting on this and its PG-13 rating.
Anyone willing to raise their hand and say they were wrong?

I'm actually about to see it in an hour.

Never heard of this movie until this moment.

I don’t like to yuck others' yums but I’ll be your huckleberry.

Fuck this movie. It looks like the kind of trash that Marvel fans would gobble up.

So you haven't actually seen it?
How is anyone supposed to take your opinion seriously?

This man does not understand the grind of a hater. Point at him and cast magic missile.

[–] Steve@communick.news 1 points 5 months ago

I use my reaction to cast Shield

You hadn't seen the movie either before going after people saying it's shit lol

[–] Steve@communick.news 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Fair point.
Doesn't make me wrong in this though.
Hating on haters who've not seen the movie, doesn't logically mean I have an opinion on the movie.

Doing the lord's work.

me!

I was skeptical about it but I saw it anyways. I was wrong, It was really good, I enjoyed it.

I've always been a fan of the Alien vs Predator Darkhorse Comics and videogames from the 90s. I loved the world building, how it all took place in the Alien future timeline, the lore was great. The human interactions with the Predators was awesome. Badlands reminded me of that and god damn do they kinda set it up for another swing at Alien vs Predator that would be set in a similar timeline to the old comics and games.

That's what this movie, for me at least, was. It felt like a love letter to the very small fanbase of Predator fans from the 90s. The Badlands story has been told before on the pages of Darkhorse comics so for me it made complete sense. And it utilized a very important aspect from the Alien franchise without incorporating Xenomorphs. But man does it set up the potential for another AvP that DOESN'T have to take place on Earth and DOESN'T have to involve humans which I really hope they do.

Good on you! Thank you. You may have liked it more than me.
I wasn't a fan of how much they humanized the predator. He has a human family structure, and a human pronounceable language. But that's minor stuff. It's absolutely fun and engaging. Totally recommend.

I don't know how exactly pg-13 works but i can say there were no humans harmed during this movie at all, and a lot of carnage otherwise.

[–] Steve@communick.news 3 points 5 months ago

Yah, that's how they were allowed to include so much explicit violence. The blood was all green and white.
