I'm super hyped for this. 
I originally thought the main character could possibly be an ancestor of Billy Sole from Predator 1987, but that doesn't seem to the case - Billy was apparently of half-Sioux, half-Italian descent, and the protagonist of PREY is of the Comanche nation...The Lords of the Plains.

When she can't even defeat a bear at the start of the movie and get her ass saved by the predator...
Also Arnie and his squad were legit super soldiers from the beginning, people forget the scene when they wipe out an entire village of rebels like nothing.

I'm pretty positive that if Marvel Studios made Everything Everywhwere All At Once he would have ripped it to shreds and call it shit.

He didn't rip into Ms. Marvel, he just found it too uneventful and stopped watching it.

Prett sure he said he enjoyed Red Sonja at some point too.

If Marvel had made it then it probably WOULD have been shit.
But that's a straw man so it doesn't matter.

Just because he likes a few classics, he can still have a bias

I'm pretty sure if Marvel studios made it they would have stripped it of everything that made it unique and turned into another soulless product he rightfully would have hated
Aha, so it's not women he hates but modern Hollywood trash. Thanks for agreeing with me

Indeed. And so can you, and everyone else. The important thing is whether you're aware of it or not.

Even better was on the Dec 8, 2015 episode of Collider Movie Talk (which has been nuked from the internet) he and Campea 100% confirmed that a piece of fan art of Darth Plagueis was actually Snoke in The Force Awakens.
And when a former poster here leaked a REAL photo of Snoke from the art of book, Harloff said it was fake and doubled down on the fan art.

This is not a bad idea. The critic score in not always reliable with films like this that traffic in nostalgia. There should be a connection to the source material that resonates with fans, that the critics might miss. Or the critics might see some artsy shit that totally misses the hook that made the original great. So I usually wait for audience scores in cases like this too. So long as it's not a film that already polarized fans before release, ala Captain Marvel.
I love how child slave trafficking is called "adoption" in this, really warms my heart that these children taken captive and handed off to men against their will were properly grateful for the opportinity to grow
And again, no one disputes that women can be leaders and/or warriors, just THAT WOMAN versus the predator given the legacy of men it has fought seems a little suss. Had they cast a 6'3" 200 pound body builder/wrestler/MMA fighter then I don't think some of the criticism would happen. But when they cast a wisp of a girl who is barely 5 and half feet tall and a buck twenty on a good day to go up against an alien muscle bound gorilla.....yeah no.

Go look at the IMDB user reviews. The movie isn't out yet but it's already being bombed with 1 star reviews.

47% of the reviews are astroturfers rating it a 10...

Naw they are both the same. Anybody loving or hating this movie before seeing it is dumb as hell (not to be confused with being skeptical/hyped).

It had more to do with how only one part of the review bombardment was mentioned.

I actually think IMDB ratings largely hit the mark, and fairly use the full score range better than a metacritic or RT. But as noted above, I like to wait to get a solid sample size first.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I like The Predator, and thought it was a fun film. I also rate Predator (1987) as my favorite film of all-time. So...yeah...I'm not a reliable critic for most of you. LOL.

The point is that user reviews are basically useless nowadays as the number of extremely high scores and low scores is absurd.

Critic reviews can be just as useless, so my friend, we are at a stalemate.

I think IMDB user scores are pretty reliable too. I dont think users on IMDB resort to review bombing like gamers doing 10,000 scores where the avg mark is 1/10. I think the Warcraftc Reforged game had a score of 0.6/10 at one time.
Last Jedi has a 4.1/10 on MC and a 6.9/10 on IMDB. Which one is more accurate for the average person? There's almost 3 pt split between them. I'm not a big SW fan, but I'd probably still trend my score closer to IMDB.

OJ's Score: 8
Alex's Score: 8
AJ's Score: 8
24/30 score for AJS. They've said this is one of the best streaming exclusive movies they've seen as of late, but if they were to put it on a blockbuster scale it is comparable to Predators. They said obviously no movie can match the original so it's an impossible bar to be measured upon, but this one does the product justice and the funny thing is that it finally took a movie not named Predator to do so.
Also trigger warning for those here who care: They said there are very, very few 'woke' elements in the movie but it's only very, very minor and will not distract nor detract from it being a good movie. End recommendation is to view it since even a month sub on Hulu is still cheaper than a movie ticket.

Hulu has what, Halo, and Only Murders in the Building as well? If I'm gonna sub for a month might as well max it out. Anything else really good on that service? Who has that "They/Them" horror flick? Hulu or was that peacock or paramount or JFC I can't keep these services seperate!
Unfortunately I have a stack of unfinished stuff to include The Outfit, and Nightmare Alley. Tough to get 2 hours straight in a night these days and if the film isn't a banger its pretty easy to just drop it because you just don't see it up on the screen unless you load up that specific streaming service. Better a film though than all the tv shows I've never finished

I agree with you, but just to be fair I will answer your post seriously since there are those here who will think like that.
Alex, specifically, is the one that I can confidently say is not paid off. He is literally the human embodiment of a Neogaf poster(so much so that I think he secretly posts here) and will take a dump on every movie that he knows was written, directed, or acted poorly with no remorse. Angry Joe has had to reign him in at times because of the fact that he sometimes has connections and speaks to directors and actors who watch his content. However, Alex would easily burn those bridges if he could. So, even if you don't trust OJ or AJ, Alex's metric has been consistent and his talking points have been explained with concise detail.

Halo is on Paramount+
Hulu has Only Murders (which is great), Pam & Tommy, and a few other things.
I think it's also the only place to stream Married...With Children

I prefer Letterboxd. It has a larger pool of user reviews and generally isn't infected by holy crusades from either side.

What does it do to combat this? Because even IMDB fell victim to it for a few movies.

They can't do anything to combat it but look at the review numbers on IMDB and Letterboxd for Prey right now.
784 on IMDB.
65 on Letterboxd.
Far more warriors on IMDB fighting the good fight.

Culture war shit over this movie? I hate you virgins so much. Can we please just let it come out, consume the product then go in it on it afterward? I just want it to be good. I got this to look forward to after work and tomorrow morning I got the last episode of Atlanta S3 to watch. It's gonna be a good day.

Yep, he evolved his format to include his co-hosts and moved on from using the Angry Shtick in every video(and he only mainly does the angry stuff in videos with the 'angry rant' thumbnail). Now the words 'Angry Joe' are mainly just a brand name for the most part. I actually prefer the multi-reviewer format for movies and TV shows because all three of them challenge the others' opinions when reviewing at times, and I feel like that's way better than a single reviewer feeling like his word the authority on all things.
