Story - sh#t, even worse than AvP. All Predator's movies filmed after the original the Predator (1987) is cr@p, and the Predator (2018), unfortunately is no exception.

Under average movie, waste of money and time.
Full of clichés, idiotic monologues and just bad acting.
Looks like 12yo write the script. This franchise is over.
To quote my good friend: RIP Alien, Terminator and now Predator.

Hugely disappointing AND I went in with lowish expectations. There are a couple of reasonably good performances and scenes but overall its a shambolic mess and for an action movie quite boring.

It feels like a group of interns wrote, directed and produced this lackluster catastrophe. It was so bad I almost walked out last night. From the bad acting, cringy dialogue, annoying stupid poorly written forgettable characters and their questionable decisions, CGI so bad that it looks like it's from a 2010-2013 alien video game cut scene, action scenes so boring and full of mindless explosions that it feels as if it's a bad Michael Bay film. Not to mention it's terrible pacing and a plot that's so all over the place the movie itself doesn't seem to realize what is. The jokes are so immature and unoriginal. I laughed at a few of them, but most of them seem like some 10 year old high acid said them. Hell even kids probably won't find this amusing. I found myself cheering for The Predator to kill all the characters and walk away with the boy. It would've been for the best, because his father the a dumbass. Stop making half ass cash grab films like these for a quick buck with no effort. If you're too incompetent to do so stay out of the show business.… Expand

Due to the re-shoots, there's plenty of barely finished CGI and it's hard to get too invested in some of the action sequences when the VFX look straight out of 'Star Trek Generations' and some creature CG that's borderline as bad as the VFX in 'An American Werewolf in Paris'. But, those were mid-90's movies, not a major release in 2018.

It's not just the rushed CG, the re-shoots have taken their toll and crippled the film both structurally and narratively, it's an absolute cluster mess, overflowing with pacing issues, tonal imbalances, massive continuity issues and plot holes. It is one of the worst edited movies I have ever seen put out as a major release. I have never had so many - "WTF? Who, when, how do you know that? You don't know that?! You weren't there or didn't see it so how do you know that?! No, you didn't read his file, you were there for 2 minutes!" - moments in a film for a long time. I spent a lot of it going in my head "oh, so they're over there now, weren't they just over there a minutes ago?", "hang on, where did they get all those guns? Where did they get the trucks? They were in the house, now they've got all that... what?" and the worst moment was, "where did they get that helicopter? How did they get that in less than two cuts?"… Expand

This time a Predator is captured, and held at some military research lab, and of course it escapes as the scientists don’t restrain him properly. Then the movie plays out like John Carpenter’s Halloween where they all drive around townThis time a Predator is captured, and held at some military research lab, and of course it escapes as the scientists don’t restrain him properly. Then the movie plays out like John Carpenter’s Halloween where they all drive around town searching for the Predator on Halloween with all the kids out trick or treating, and then they send in incompetent government agents.

The script doesn’t make much sense with a lot of continuity errors, and I don’t know if it is due to a problem with poor editing, but it feels quite disjointed in places. The scientist in one scene finds out who the sniper was that had first contact with the Predator, but then she is running for her life, and meets the sniper and says she already read his file. Like, no she didn’t. She never even had a chance to see it. At another point the group of misfit service members, which they refer to themselves as the loonies are in a woman’s house, and then you see them spread out in various vehicles driving around town including a police car with the sirens going. Like, what? Or later when they randomly show up at the perfect time with a News helicopter. Where did they get the vehicles from? They also magically have a lot of military grade firearms including grenade launchers, assault rifles with silencers, and mp5s. Yet they never had access to any of it. When a Predator says he is hunting them then the groups of people that were killing each other suddenly became allies without any hesitancy whatsoever, which was ridiculous. Oh, and the Scientist lady turned out to have special forces combat skills, which also was not believable.

Some of the deductions like from the military intelligence officer who deduced what the Predators were doing was too far-fetched. No way he could have deduced all that on the info he had, but serves as a lazy way for exposition. The Scientist who figures out what the Predators are up to on each planet by just looking at their blood in a microscope is also crazy far-fetched. No way she could deduce that. Also serves as exposition, and there were other moments equally as far-fetched. The young kid with autism who liked around 9 was also some kind of genius at being able to immediately know how to use the alien technology. This didn’t make any sense.

A VA facility would not be where they take the Predator to conduct tests, and the security would have been much better since they know they have an alien that is very deadly with a lot of strength as they make references to the Predators in previous movies. They know what they are capable of. It is also highly convenient that the soldier that makes first contact with the alien happens to be in the same VA facility. Not to mention, how convenient it was that the soldier was on a secret mission to rescue hostages in the jungle where the alien’s escape pod happened to land just as he was about to engage in his mission.

The movie has a lot of tonal problems too. It seems like it is meant to be a sci-fi action horror, which makes sense, but it also tries to be a comedy at times, and the attempts at humor feels so out of place, and cringe. I can’t tell if it is trying to be an intentional satire or not. The group of misfit soldiers are terribly out of place with one guy with tourettes as if he is meant to be the comic relief, and their interactions with one another is just irritating with some slapstick comedy. The scientist that joins them also seems to act out of character at times in a very disjointed way.

And, the CGI was not a good idea for the Predator, and looks like they were jumping on the Marvel bandwagon. The acting was pretty poor apart from the lead guy, and woman whom were decent and some of the action sequences were decent, but not much else.… Expand

It mostly lacks the feeling of fear and dread the other movies have and the story should be a bit more ironed out. I also dislike the stuff they add to the lore which weakens the franchise in my opinion. The previous movie was actually pretty good so I was hoping this would be equally good too. The story starts with a squad of the US army on a mission in Mexico against a drug cartel when a strange flying object crashes nearby. For the sniper Quinn it is the start of a strange adventure he never would have imagined in his wildest dreams or nightmares. I am vague to avoid spoilers. The first few minutes are excellent but it did get weaker fast. It is never as intense as the previous movies. They lack the dread, fear and menace. To be fair it as its moments but the story in total is a missed opportunity. A lot is not used well and if it were on DVD I would fast forward a lot. Also the additions to the lore weaken the franchise. A lot of the appeal was that the predators were mysterious. Here they answer some questions but the answers are disappointing. There / Those are also WTF moments like the instant understanding of technology, the upgrade stuff and the Predator using verbal exposition to name those I think are harmful. I like the cast even if nothing cant top the first Predators cast. The lead role by Boyd Holbrook works but is also the weakest lead character in the franchise. His squad consisting of actors Alfie Allen, Augusto Aguilera, Thomas Jane, Trevante Rhodes and Keagan Michael Keys. They are fully to my liking and I enjoyed them a lot. Special praise to Jacob Tremblay as there are not many good child actors and I think Yvonne Strahovski and Olivia Munn are also good. We have a really good cast in my humble opinion. The special effects were fine for me. Not the gold standard but convincing. Overall I repeat that this movie is not intense and scary enough by franchise standards. It is worthwhile but not amazing. Weakest movie in the franchise and some of the new lore I will ignore. A 5/10 seems fair for me.… Expand

But the new Predator is still an average film, ranging from a dumb linear plot and a boring action, to just a terribly similar and uninteresting main antagonist. A restart that the franchise did not need. The last 20 years, the Predator series is only tormented, it is better to leave it. And shoot something new and original.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m gonna start this off by saying that I’m not a huge fan of the Predator movies (I’m more into Alien) but I’ve liked all the movies I’ve seen from the series. I like the original a lot, I haven’t seen the second one, Alien vs Predator is a guilty pleasure of mine, I haven’t seen the second one, and I thought Predators was okay. As for The Predator, it was definitely a bad movie, but I actually thought it was pretty funny. A lot of the intentional Marvel-style humour fell pretty flat for me, but there’s another aspect of the film that I found pretty hilarious. One of the main characters is an autistic kid, but he’s movie autistic. He’s shy, he gets bullied and he can’t handle loud noises (except for explosions apparently?), but he’s actually a genius. Pretty stereotypical portrayal. Mary & Max and Ready Player One did it a lot better. What makes it hilarious is how they use his autism as a plot device. How can he figure out how to use the Predator technology? Autism. Why is the Predator after him? Also autism. Why? Get this. They are using humans to make super-powerful hybrid Predators and one of them wants to use the power of autism to make them even stronger. Yes, you heard that right, the Predator wants to weaponize autism. But that’s not all! There’s also an environmental message and a cute animal sidekick! I swear, I’m not making any of this up! This movie’s plot is insane! As for the rest of the movie, it was honestly nothing special at all. It’s pretty much just a generic action movie. There are some neat practical effects, but there’s also a lot of bad CGI. I didn’t care about any of the characters, but there were some good kills. This movie wasn’t a bad way to kill 100 minutes, but if you don’t like so-bad-it’s-good type movies, I’d say just stick with the original.… Expand

The movie is a comedy really, full of silly silly silly scenes where characters just quip at each other and make silly jokes. Nobody is really too bothered about aliens or dying - death is almost glorified here. The main guy seems to care very little for his life, the fact there is an 11 foot alien or his sons life. He just wants to make badass one liners and shoot guns.
The Predator (super) is full CGI and is honestly some of the worst CGI I have ever ever seen... this is meant to be a multimillion dollar project made in 2018!? Dont get me started on the Predator dogs.
The end scene is probably the best and would make for an interesting sequel - but this is unlikely as I suspect it will bomb at the box office.… Expand

Having grown up a huge fan of the original, I was excited to hear that Shane Black, an original cast member had been brought onboard to breathe fresh life into a promising franchise that has been squandered by subpar sequels and horrendously awful crossovers. I didn't set my expectations very high and wasn't expecting this to eclipse the brilliance and effectiveness of the original film, but it is a crying shame that this film could not even claw its way over the low bar of expectations I had set for it.

The movie surprisingly started out interestingly enough and I found myself enjoying it throughout the first two acts - but it is when the "Upgrade Predator" arrives on scene where the movie quickly devolves into a sloppy and incoherent mess with gaping potholes larger than a crater left by a downed predator ship.

Overall I find this movie to be the unfortunate victim of too much test screening, too many changes and re-shoots, and an overabundance of bad creative decisions by the writers. The film relies on too many (inexplicably incompetent) nameless commandos as cannon-fodder to notch up a large body count, the CGI kills look cheap and shoddy,and the stakes feel way too low when the emotional weight during key scenes is sacrificed in favor of cheap laughs. If that wasn't bad enough, the ending will have you rolling your eyes and groaning in your seat as you realize you have been suckered into another money-grabbing Marvel movie masquerading beneath a predator mask.

Avoid this movie unless you are a true predator fan desperate for another fix of Yautja-related chaos - and even then prepare to be left unsatisfied.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not as bad as I thought it would be. The movie is quite good until the first Predator gets killed (20 minutes to half an hour in) but then it becomes something else entirely. Some things don't make any sense especially when it comes to the scientist, they must have gotten money to make that lady scientist look like some über powerful superhuman or something. There are some good action moments in there and if you're not averse to over the top action this movie is actually quite enjoyable at times. Not great or even at least somewhat intelligent but fun if you're going in without a thinking hat on. Start thinking about all the things that were said and you'll see it's just a gigantic mess. If they had carried on in the spirit of the first 20 minutes it could have been really good. Alas, could have been.… Expand

Que nenni ! l'empaffé a démoulé un navet déjà périmé avant d'éclore via ce scénario (?!) d'une bêtise, d'une connerie et d'une débilité incommensurables (la sainte trinité des cons). Il faut le voir pour le croire ce film (mais on ne le con-seille pas) avec le gamin autiste qui joue avec le casque du Predator, son père qui fait pareil avec les jouets du chasseur galactique (et qui envoit les gadgets par la poste... à son gamin golmon) ou la gonzesse scientifique qui se prend pour Sarah Connor...

La connerie étant sans limite et bénéficiant on s'en doute d'un budget illimité, on voit un peu plus tard un papa Predator très vénère puis... un clébard Predator ! et là j'ai arrêté, ne pouvant en supporter davantage...

De toute façon, à part la stupidité, le film est assez ramolli et pas très bien filmé dans ses quelques scènes d'action ; les comédiens sont à la rue et se croient dans une... comédie. Une comédie même pas drôle.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the terrifying interstellar hunters have been replaced with "super" aliens, that come to earth to abduct autistic kids??? and the only way to stop them is with the interstellar hunter equivalent of an iron man suit?? This movie is insulting to its predecessors, lore, and fans.

They shoot a space dog in the head and it becomes their best friend! The awesome OG predator get 5mins of screen time (in which it get owned twice) and is then replaced with a stupid looking cg "super" predator. The upgrade predator is more of a generic monster than a cunning, intelligent, and honorable advisory. The movies ultimate quest is to dismantle everything that made the predator one of the most legendary figures in all of syfy.
these aren't interstellar tribal hunters anymore. Now they travel through the cosmos to genetical modify themselves with alien DNA, and in order to improve there genetic make up they need to add the human gene for autism. and they gave us an ironman suit...

the plot is terrible. the characters are average, the acting is average, the writing is bad, the cg is bad, the action is average. I love predator, I'm a total fan boy, and i want them to keep making predator movies till the end of time. but fox needs to hit the reset button on this franchise and let someone who is smart, passionate, and a fan take the wheel and get the hell out of the way. there is so much creative freedom to be had in the alien and predator universe, its shameful that this is what they come up with.… Expand

And unfortunately I have not enjoyed a singleAs a big predator fan I was extremely looking forward to this new predator film, when I think of a perfect summer action movie, I think the predator, that film is perfect to me in every way. And unfortunately I have not enjoyed a single predator sequel or spin off since then. Now before I went to see this movie I really tried to go into the film open minded and tried not to get my hopes to high. However I still don't think this is a good film, whether you want to view this as a dumb action movie or not I found myself medley entertained at some points. For starts I loved the cast, I'm a particular fan of Boyd Holbrook as an actor and I would love to see him more often in other films. The look of the predator is really good, the costume and production design is really good and this film had some really cool bloody predator kills. Besides that, I didn't find much else entertainment. This film has an extremely messy story and lots of events happen more based on coincidence. There also isn't any emotion put into any of the characters, people kill for the first time and almost don't seem to care, there isn't ever a sense of tension or fear. In that first film, there were very tense moments, there were quips and jokes but they weren't depended on, this film relies a lot on jokes and quips and doesn't offer any tension or actual stakes. So overall I'm very disappointed and hope that some better sequels come along.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Predator is what happens when moronic executives hire a comedy director to make an entry in an action/thriller franchise, then realise their mistake and force him to reshoot scenes, making things even worse. This movie is a freaking mess, a hodgepodge of different ideas, each ripped of from older entries in the franchise. So you have the suburban setting of AvP 2, the super predators from 2010' Predators, the shady Goverment Agency trying to capture the aliens from Predator 2 and of course, the heroes being hunted in the forest from the Original, which for some reason they cram it in the last 15 minutes of the movie.

I think this has to do with many people misunderstanding the original as being dumb, 80's fun. The plot of Predator 1 was simple, but not dumb. It was effective in what it tried to accomplish. Like most of Shane Black's scripts, The Predator lacks any kind of coherency and it also has that modern tendency to try to make fun of its source material, reaching almost The Last Jedi levels of disrespect to the themes of the first movie. Luckily, unlike Rian Johnsosn, Black is not a complete hack and he is able to write some good characters and banter between them. It was clear that this new cast will lack the chemistry of the original and it's kind of hard to sell this as a team of badasses when Olivia Munn is the only one of them with a jawline, but the movie did make me care enough about them when they meet their demise.

The action on the other hand is the worst in any movie in the franchise. Imagine the most bland and devoid of tension action in a Marvel movie, only with lots of gore. And that's not even the worst part. The greatest sin this movie commints is changing the lore of the Predators. After 5 movies where these creatures were simply sport hunters(hell, even this movie makes a big deal out of this) we find out that the reason they hunt us is to upgrade themselves. Oh, yeah, and there are some of them who want to save us from the others, as well as from Global Warming, because you need to have that shoved in a freaking Predator film too.

At best, this movie might entertain you if all you want is a dumb action sci fi with Yo Mamma jokes. At worst, it will make you wish you were watching AvP 2 instead.… Expand

If you like mindless action and jokes that I guess are jokes by default, then this is all yours. If you enjoy a good sci-fi plot with things that make you think critically about the world this is not for you. A good film should make you feel something once you leave. A superhero film should make you feel heroic, happy, or more recently sad. A family movie should make you laugh. More specifically after I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man`s Chest I wanted to be a fracking pirate. I was eleven and was thinking of all the ways I could learn swordsmanship like they knew in the film. After this Predator film though, all I could feel was nothing. There are no character developments, all characters have one trope and run with it throughout the movie. Action is basic Hollywood action. There is a part where I think someone forgot to finish it and the predator looks like it came from Predator 2. This movie wants to have a talking point about the environment, evolution, violence, PTSD, veteran affairs, etc it is all just too much for an hour and 45 minutes. There are some cool shout outs to the other films in the series along with good CGI/prosthetics for the OG predator (AT TIMES). A morbid scene where two friends take each other out to end their suffering and it was shoot well. There is a defending of a kid with Asperger’s but then immediately gets called retarded. So, wasted opportunity there. Mindless action with a weak plot brings this movie down hard. That’s all the things I can mention without just going deep into spoilers and ranting about their dumbness.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutly awful film and one of worse films of Predator saga. The plot is totally stupid, the characters full of emptiness, very bad story, the dialogue between the main characters plenty of vulgarity and rudeness, and lack of intelligence, the 4 meters tall Predator its terrible. That's a disastrous film, any fun, any good ant and with a extreme bad director called Shane Black. in resume a bull ****… Expand

A unique twist is that this clumsy and forgetful alien may actually be trying to save the world... but is killing people anyway for no real reason. I may be wrong about that plot point because I started reading the ingredients label on my large soda and was too bored to listen to what the characters were saying. Another unique twist is that the classic award winning designs of creatures from the original movie was "upgraded" to some bad CGI. There were some explosions and a very stupid and irrational female scientist who appears to have unexplained superpowers, a death wish and an urge to strip naked when in danger. Also the movie seems to have a cast of bad comedy actors who think they are funny but never really do anything funny. Something must have happened behind the scenes because the director has made good movies. I would be interested to know the events that made this movie so bad. The after credits tease for a sequel that will never happen was so bad it was like they really didn't want people to watch a sequel to this.… Expand

So bad that it's good. Simple action film for evening. I waited to watch a more serious movie but it isn't. Also, CGI was awful in some scenes

Please. Stop trying to rebuild the predator. It is the second film that we have to swallow another generic predator to do away with the original. Respect the franchise, the character and the fans. It's a pain to see the predatorPredator ???

Please. Stop trying to rebuild the predator. It is the second film that we have to swallow another generic predator to do away with the original. Respect the franchise, the character and the fans. It's a pain to see the predator killed so uselessly by another generic predator. The original predator (Armadira, behavior, strength) was very good. Better until the others, but only until that strange animal appeared 3 meters high ... ridiculous! I will not even mention the plot, because it simply does not.

Stop trying to replace the original predator.… Expand

That being said it was okay except for the language angle: waaaaay too much fkr, mfkr, very explicit adult "humor." The script writers even had the young genius boy (12 yrs old?)joining in. I'm not talking about once or twice but throughout the entire movie. This film could make a lot of money if the language was cleaned up! Shocking, cringe-worthy language doesn't make a so-so movie any better. Any of the later Alien films shows how its done.… Expand

This has nothing to do with the original one. The movie itself is not bad, like you can watch it without vomiting and stuff. I miss Arnold.

Like Terminator and the afore mentioned Alien, studio execs know there’s money in these franchises, but they just don’t know how to get it out. Each re-boot, each re-imagining, each new take on an old classic, they’re all sliding further and further down the slippery slope that ends up in ‘straight to DVD’ hell. Or worst still, a movie made by Netflix.

So what have we got here that’s so bad? Well, a terrible cast, a terrible script, terrible acting and seen it all before CGI.

The same rag-tag bunch of ex-soldiers and general bad-asses that’s a staple of most Predator films are all here. But unfortunately in The Predator, the killing of the rag-tag bunch didn’t start as early as I’d have liked, meaning the irritating ‘banter’ and macho posturing went on for far too long. When I say ‘banter’, it was the sort of thing 12 year old’s exchange at the skate park, and absolutely none of Arnie’s classic one-liners. Who could ever forget ‘if it bleeds we can kill it’.

Each set piece action sequence consisted of a bunch of dopey idiots firing their machine guns in the dark. Pretty dull after a while. And what was with the predator dog thing? Maybe they had to give the CGI department’s intern something to do.

So, to summarise…what a load of rubbish.… Expand

Acting is mediocre and sometimes just embarrassing where some actors forget their characters have autism and other characters are just irrational and plain stupid. There is no horror of people being hunted down by an enigmatic alien hunter and there is no suspense, despair nor fear. Quite frankly there is nothing about this movie which is actually good because even jokes are at best mediocre.

Predator 2018 is a bad SciFi action-comedy and a bullet destroying Predator franchise.… Expand

There is no way that a new predator or Alien movie is superior to the first ones, The Predator is not that bad, but it could have been much better.

I mean, imagine if they had done one more time the plot of the hunter taking down the soldiers one by one again, apparently that's what the audience wanted to see, but at the same time they would have said that it´s repetitive and unoriginal. Shane Black did what he could, but he definitely does not have the
same quality that has put on other films like the nice guys, he takes elements from the other predator movies but in this one he took more freedom in terms of tone, we only see action and comedy and no suspense, I admit that it made me laugh more than I expected but maybe it was not
the ideal path for this movie. In terms of creature design it's excellent, the new super predator looks great, but the plot was very disappointing.
As a fan of predator I think it's entertaining and fun but it´s a mediocre movie for sure.… Expand

Not bad, but probably would've been better with an original alien in it. Bad writing and some corny humor makes it not feel like a Predator movie.
