Well, it seems like I have poor taste in movies after all.
Constantine is an awesome movie.
Yeah. I don't understand why it doesn't get a lot more attention as one of the early solidly made comic book movies.
I liked Hellboy
I loved Ron Perlman's Hellboy, but the Hellboy 2019 movie was the best. Felt more like a comicbook pulp story and less of a 2000-ish action comedy. But the public and critics has spoken; if it ain't a standard superhero action comedy flick, it is a "soulless" reboot.
David Harbour had the potential to be a better Hellboy than Perlman, but the rest of the movie was ... really not very good -- in pacing, characters, or effects.
If you want a mash-up horror movie that's more fun than the critics said, go for the 2004 Van Helsing.
I loved Van Helsing. It was seriously brain dead entertainment but action was great and the effects were good. I loved The Brothers Grimm, that came out the year after, better though. Horror movie, comedy, action. I passed that movie over back then because of the critics, so took a few more years until I actually got to see it.
Predator came out in 1986 I think. But I totally agree about Constantine and Robocop 2016, I liked those a lot.
Yeah. Robocop 2016 is so good. I get that it's different, and it's reboot no one asked for.
But it's also a solid movie.
I believe they're referring to "The Predator" from 2018 (because why should movies have logical titles) where the aliens are here to

harvest autism from our children before climate change destroys humanity.I wish I were joking.
I was not aware of that. Oh dear, that sounds like the kind of plot studio execs would come up with in the 80's while high on coke, except they are all woke now.
Wow, those are some hot takes, those movies are great
I'm on your team for that.
Hellboy is amazing how the hell is it that low?!
They mean the 2019 David Harbour Hellboy.
The 2004 Ron Perlman one is at 82%.

That makes more sense. Thanks.
I kind of agree with the hate for the live action ghost in the shell. SJH was overused for a while.
Ghost in the Shell (2017) was quite good.
Loved the characters, but the movie plot felt like a clipshow of a bigger plot that didn't fit into 2 hours. I haven't watched the anime but it probably was.
Watch the anime, everything that was great in the 2016 version is a bow to the "original". And I actually think Johansson was a great cast for the film. The way she moves is so totally Major Kusanagi.
