Yeah, it lacks the intensity of the OG, the style of the sequel, and the raw minimalism of Prey, but in my book it has the best damn cast of all of them - Predators included (which I think takes itself way too seriously). The more I watch it, the more I find. It's just a really good ensemble and they did a good job with the Upgrade. They even avoid the trap of going all soft because there is a kid with autism. Instead they double down Goonies style. Life is dangerous and everybody can get killed off. Traeger is a really great villain also. I want to see this group tackle more stuff together...unfortunately not possible. Anyways, I don't understand the hate for this flick. I love it and I am loving it more and more each time I watch it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is just so little to like in 'the Predator', and everything it does well is the visuals. The Predator is a simple concept, and the audience for this kind of film just wants simple things: An alien who is an intergalactic hunter for sport or whatever. Yet, they had to throw everything that only troubled the plot, straying from the only reason anyone would ever want to watch this.

Starting by the character of the boy in this movie, it's just wrong. It's just glorifing a disorder. Asperger is not a 'superpower' to make 12yo understand alientech. This felt like a wrong depiction of the condition in a bad way, was silly all the way and required some suspension of disbelief to continue. The fact that the entire plot depends on it so much makes this a bad movie. The entire plot gathers around this more and more, which makes the suspension of disbelief incleasingly harder. By the end of the movie they just added so much unnecessary content that convoluted the plot and disturbed the audience's first motivation so much, that I just preffer to think it to think this movie does not count start with. A giant predator felt so misplaced. It would be so much more more interesting if it was another regular predator. There could much more intense and remarkable scenes between two predator fighting then seeing a giant predator destroy the regular one, effotlessly. It felt lazy and lame. A predator puppy.

It even has the bangs. How can anyone not get out of immersion when there is a predator puppy? With predator bangs for good reason?

And of plain and simple enviromental alarmism out of nowhere (it's defenitely alarmism when you say the world ends in two generations).

Now, Balancing the nice looking predator with these awful aspects, there's almost nothing to keep one's interest. Add to it the all so exausting "last second" cliche taken to exaustion. It breaks the movie for me, really.

Making a predator story is not so hard, you just have to keep it simple, small, localized and broad enough to turn it into a connected universe. It shouldn't make too much out of it in a single installment, it's just predator hunting for prey.… 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

I think it is watchable but also the weakest in the Predator franchise. It mostly lacks the feeling of fear and dread the other movies have and the story should be a bit more ironed out.

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

We can say that Predator 2018 is a soft restart of the franchise with many references to the original and scenes not included in the original film. 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 2nd half or so, at least parts of the 2nd half, gets to be more "exciting", but...still bad dialogue, weird directing, and the music also comes in at the worst times, like the iconic music plays a few times in the film, and doesn't even really fit when it plays, and then when it should play, some other generic music plays. Just poorly done from the director and I was shocked to see Shane Black directed it. But..if you really, really, like Predator movies you might like, semi enjoy parts of it and to follow the Predator storyline. My advice: skip ahead to the last 30 minutes or so for a semblance of a Predator movie. (and not a good one either.) 6/10 and thats coming from a fan of the franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched this movie thoroughly I honestly feel this movie is good it's good for the art it's conveying. I want to see more dark horror in the coming Predator films if any. The Predator Killer thing in the storyline is not needed for what Predator needs or hounds, or super predators or any next sci-fi story that strips the Predator's pride in horror. We want to see Predator in terror, something we need to be truly afraid of. Seeing the ultimate predator spit was unpredator. The Predator monster is a creature that enjoys trophy kills and has a mind of a deranged murderer. Predator holding Billy's head and how he sled his finger across his skull is a good example. No more soft Predator films please! The Predator is meant to scare people and that's how it should be used.… 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. 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

I wanted to love this movie but despite all the violence it’s so goofy that the film can almost feel family friendly . Especially when the smart kid is in so many scenes you’d think you’re watching a Jurassic Park movie. It also makes it predictable that the kid won’t die and his dad will always save him. There’s also a Predator dog that becomes loyal to one of the humans.
So this can almost feel like that they used a fan script. No though, it’s co-written by Shane Black. Who was in the first Predator as the one who tells dirty jokes on Arnold’s team. Here he pretty much wrote every character to be the wise guy and have sleazy one-liners. Which feels one dimensional. While he misses the mark by having tough guy soldiers vs the Predator again. Since this time they are hard to take seriously. It’s like the A-Team vs the Predator. It’s one big buddy comedy. That’s more about the humans than Predators.… Expand

The Predator is a sequel that is too little, too late. Despite its cool character design, the Predator has always been saddled with sub-standard films. Believe it or not, this flick is the best sequel since the 1987 original. However, itThe Predator is a sequel that is too little, too late. Despite its cool character design, the Predator has always been saddled with sub-standard films. Believe it or not, this flick is the best sequel since the 1987 original. However, it has several problems. Firstly, despite a pretty good ensemble cast, the main actor is a relatively un-charismatic fellow. The key to a film like this is that you have to believe that this fella can go toe to toe with the Predator and win, using wits, ingenuity and so forth. None of that comes across. Another big problem is its 80's sensibilities, courtesy of Shane Black. Black is the father of the 80's action film, notably the Lethal Weapon series. Yet things are different now here in this era: what can constitute as 'macho posturing' would be interpreted as 'toxic masculinity'. What is considered as cool 80's style gore is considered crass. Hence, it is a film that I do enjoy, but I couldn't disagree with all the ratings that my fellow viewers have given this flick. It is a film that is out of time and outdated. If you got nothing to do, and want a mindless B movie, then this is a great 'streaming' option.… Expand

Why should I have to counter-balance the 0 ratings? I can think of some "serious" films that deserve a 0/10 (not indie crap like Sharknado, but legit films that suck), but is this one of them? Not at all. The cast is terrific. Honestly, these are some of my favorite actors and I was so surprised to find Thomas Jane and Olivia Munn here, plus Edward Olmos, Jake Busey (who should do more films). Munn looks stunning. The actors seem very natural in their roles to me, as if they had done quite a few rehearsals. I like that this film feels "real-world" compared to the first two films which were over-the-top Hollywood crap with horrible one-liners (like "stick around") and worse effects. But I enjoy them anyway, right? The third film with Adrien Brody was an interesting side adventure that wasn't as enjoyable as this one. Also, I watched AvP again recently (the 2nd one never happened) and it has aged wonderfully since the release of Prometheus and Covenant, almost canonical, just one or two minor issues like the age of Mr. Weyland. So? Doesn't hurt the mythos, adds to it.

AVP2 is far worse than The Predator. It's a shame so many ignorant reviewers jump on here to rant about one or two minor issues and drop an ugly rating on a decent action film.

7/8 is where this belongs compared with similar films. A harsh critic would drop that down to 5/6 and I'd be okay with that.… Expand

During a mission envolving the rescue of hostages, a U.S. team end up catching a space ship falling from the sky, a ship that was being persecuted by another ship. When they go to investigate the ship, the"What are you? Shut the **** up"
During a mission envolving the rescue of hostages, a U.S. team end up catching a space ship falling from the sky, a ship that was being persecuted by another ship. When they go to investigate the ship, the soldier McKenna found the technology from the alien know as "Predator" and from that he steal the tec and start a fight with the alien. So they triggered a super hunter that wants to destroy the human race, where ex-soldiers and a scientis gotta stop it. Directed by Shane Black and written by Fred Dekker and Shane Black.
Well, let's begin with the first act from this film, i think that this story starts well, it, with some mystery, a very nice touch of action in stealth mode, so it starts going fine, i think that they introduce the characters well, you get to know how they are from they speaking about them or the other about someone, so that was fine. The problem is also since the very beginning, why would someone take guns from an alien and this alien try to kill you right after, and then decides to send the full gear for the son that you love so much, that is just so off. The script overall is such of a mess, i mean, they tried to make a predator movie, in a kind of deadpool jokes way, i don't think that it fits, but if they really wanted to do this, i think that it would be better to be a not connected to the other franchise movies of predator, but they do mention the other movies, the good ones, so i don't think that it fits, if they decided to make a spin-off or something like that, i believe that it would be easier to accept it. There are so many scenes and events in this movie that are so dumb, like the thumbs up that the predator do with the dead guys hand, or the predator dog playing nice with the humans, even catching a ball and bringing back, come on, that isn't really funny, not for predator, that felt like those movies that are parody from a serious one, like "Meet the Spartans" for example, just didn't worked out. The story invented somethings that isn't original in any possible way, a race that wants to destroy the other one, and then one rebel will try to save them, i'm not even gonna say that it is that bad, but still ain't very creative, and from that i think that a lot of things doesn't really makes much sense. The ending is terrible and awful, it remembered me from the Resident Evil 2 ending, where Alice beat Nemesis with her hands, in here it kind of happens the same thing, but before that, it was interesting to see the super predator fighting decision, giving them advantage time and having some fun in the fight, but the elapse of it was so bad, somethings was like, "they really wanna go with this dumb plan?" and even worst than that, is that the predator falls in it, it's ridiculous, the lack of creativity in these moments was really the worst. More through the end, there are so many conveniences that are decisive for the conclusion, that it lost me completely, you will not just think that such powerfull and advanced being will have such weakness in his technology, it just don't match, they way that they beat him is so easy, and with some script holes that i couldn't buy, for real, somethings didn't made any little sense.
The movie does have some fun moments, the transition between some of these moments to horror or action didn't worked very well, the action scenes start well, but they lost the hand during the course of the movie, i like it that it was gore and a lot of blood, some really mercyless strikes wich was fun to watch, the cgi wasn't perfect, you could see it in some moments. They sold the idea that the super predator was so strong that when they beat it, it did felt ridiculous, because they couldn't beat the regular predator, how they could beat the mega one in such simple way, with damn gun, pistols, shots and a arm.
Olivia Munn character, apparentely is a scientist, but she end up being a military especialist out of nowhere, a thing that they could easily fix with one dialogue, she is ok, don't really have much intepretation to do. Boyd Holbrook convinces in the action and as a leader. Keegan-Michael Key and Thomas Jane make a nice duo, they are funny. Trevante Rhodes does have charisma. Sterling K. Brown is a ok villain, his interpretation is fine.
The predator is a very goofy movie, with some plot holes, conveniences and coincidences, a way to cliche script, characters that have some charisma, some gore and nice action moments, and a ending that didn't made sense, it could be fun, but i'm not really interested in rewatching it.… Expand

Shane Black resurrects Predator to parody the modern blockbuster.

It then turnsShane Black resurrects Predator to parody the modern blockbuster. It adopts a prominent sense of humor like every major franchise has done and breaks nearly ever rule in the series' mythos to ensure there's never a dull moment. It then turns these conventions on their heads by making the jokes vulgar and sometimes anti-PC, while keeping the action as gory and hyper-violent as any '80s flick. It's the antithesis of the Disney formula. Even going as far as to take shots at the whole concept of Hollywood reviving dormant properties in order to cash-in on nostalgia with its own sarcastic callbacks to the original film.

It does take the joke too far with the ending though. The way it goes about mocking how so many wide-releases set themselves up for sequels by leaving the door open for its own future installments is terrible. It's clear that Black let his inner 12-year-old run wild with this movie. Which is a blast for the majority of its running-time, but that final twist is ridiculous to the point where even thinking about basing a follow-up around the plot device is jumping the shark. Which means the only thing left to do now is either end the series here or have the next movie pretend this one never happened Halloween style. I'd hate to see Predator become the next Sharknado. Some notes:

-The practical effects are great with cool looking spaceships, alien weaponry, and one sweet Predator suit. The CGI however is the worst I've seen since Black Panther, although not quite as bad as those PS2 quality graphics.

- Jacob Tremblay is fantastic in everything.

- That joke about Thomas Jane kind of disappearing from large movie roles is perfect.

- The best part is the final action sequence in the woods as it's a return to the hunter/hunted setup of the previous films and is just thrilling.

- Alfie Allen has like zero screen time. Which is sad because Game of Thrones.

While the future of the franchise has been placed in jeopardy with this installment, this is the gleeful middle finger to the play-it-safe superhero movie establishment that Deadpool and Suicide Squad should have been.… Expand

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

But then suddenly it turned around completely. The humor alone made this movie look like it was made for children ("Get to the choppers" Really?), but the logic was completely messed up as well. Nothing made sense. Predators want to steal autism? What? A boy in his teens just scoffs at naked boobies? I lost the plot completely at the end. Even as a parody it wouldnt have made sense. Complete and utter nonsense. Also cut so fast that you sometimes dont even realize what just happened. Literally. You just sit there with a giant question mark over your head.
I watched The Meg before it and because it at least gave me 3 or 4 chuckles I found it better than The Predator. Yes, this movie is that bad.

I dont know why they destroy all these formerly epic franchises. I cant believe they let people make these movies who have no idea what makes these franchises great or no idea how to write or direct a movie in the first place.
Alien, Terminator, Star Wars, Star Trek, Ghostbusters, etc. They seem to want to rewrite everything great. Like changing history.… Expand

The Predator is just a movie. No real consequences,no great things about it,no fun…Just a generic little movie that just exists for the purpose of money. Shane Black now helms the director’s chair on this fourth take on one of the more disastrous franchises ever (following a negative sequel and some otherworldly Alien crossovers),and the result is just a movie that takes probably some of the wildest plot directions I’ve ever seen. More so than Jurassic World 2 to compare it in terms of wild plot twists.
That’s the main problem with The Predator: it’s that it’s so….Dysfunctional in its story that doesn’t know where to go with its material that it takes forever to reach a conclusion,coming from a plot that feels like it has some nice ideas that’s getting so desperate to grab the audience’s attention that more often than not,throws a one-liner or a comedy bit to keep the viewer awake.
Oh yeah,I forgot it had comedy. Man,was the comedy frustratingly unnecessary in here… The original Predator had the comedy,sure,but that movie had it when the plot wanted to,but in here,it feels like the script’s going override with its material,forcing the movie to have a “Nothing” factor to it. Like,you’re having this fight in a darkly lit school (assuming from the color palette),and even then you have time to **** and moan about your life?
I guess some moments were funny,like Keegan Michael Key’s character,who feels like he’s forced to have a fun time,otherwise the paycheck is not at home. Also this one kill that was superfun to look at,where Sterling K. Brown’s character has one of the few guns of the Predator Armor and he just turns his head,letting the gun shoot to his head.
All of this mostly detracting from an aggressively decent score by Henry Jackman (super disappointed,considering that last year he made one of the best Action Movie scores of the decade with Kingsman TGC) that just straight cashes in on Alan Silvestri’s original score.
The kills are probably the highlight of the movie. Some of them really awesome to look at,while some of them could’ve been cool...If it wasn’t for the CGI Green Splooge or Fake CGI Blood…
I honestly don’t know what I’m writing in here,man. This feels like the kind of movie where you have to remember the good and the bad to write a review in here,and that shouldn’t happen from a movie that’s supposed to be (at the very least) fun,or bad it’s good,or whatever. For a Shane Black movie,this feels like the movie where we’re gonna be all thankful for Iron Man 3 (another franchise movie of his that was actually great,but panned by the fans),considering everything I just said about it. There may have been a Predator in here,but the main picture can’t be considered like the titular character.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Predator is directed by Shane Black, written by Fred Dekker and Shane Black and starring Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key and Olivia Munn.

It's all about the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black's explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.

I'm not a huge fan of Predator, I love their costumes and the CGI, but this franchise didn't do that much for me, it didn't impress me that much.

The Predator is not disappointing for me as lots of people said it is, cause simply I'm a fan of the first Predator movie, but The Predator wasn't that good, it has lots of thing that had no sense!

Let's start with the things I liked about this movie... I liked the costumes very very much, they were really cool, and it's actually the most impressive thing about this movie. The CGI was really good too, but I have a problem with it too, the predators were showing up in the dark, the crew was just trying to hide something, like their mistakes so they made them show in the dark to make it looks perfect, predators showed only one time in the morning, and it was the final fight, and it was so short.. anyways, let's back to the things I liked, the story, I liked the story, it was good and the last thing I liked is the role of Jacob Tremblay, but it went in an another wrong way too!

Now with the things I hated about this movie... I will start with the CGI again, and as I said above the predators in the dark. I didn't notice any drop with the CGI, and of course that's what the crew wanted from us. I guess they were lazy to work hard, so they made them in the night, but then they showed them in the morning, and then I said "Oh, you're capable to make an amazing CGI, but you were just lazy to do it!".

Then let's move to the role of Jacob Tremblay, it was really good at the beginning, but then he actually turned into bad-acting. I hated how they made him insult and all of that stuff, I hated it!!
The performances in general were bad, all of them were less than fine.

I hated the predator dog so much, they made him a pet after a bullet in the head!!!! It bothered me so much!!!

The story was good as I said, but it was so slow, then so fast, it was really awkward!
Because of that, it was boring.

The jokes were trash too, I don't know why they made it at the first place!

The Predator in general is fine, I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it too, I just liked it...

I'm gonna give The Predator a B-.. I think it's a good movie, but it depends on what are you expecting to see, and I as expecting to see a movie that it's gonna break the first Predator movie, but unfortunately it didn't!

Thank you, guys as always for reading my review, hope you like, and if you have any comment, just say it.… Expand

I thought that the acting was fine. This isn't Shakespeare or PBS so I wasn't bothered by the script and the actors did pretty good for what they had to work with. It's science fiction and for a science fiction movie it wasn't terrible.

It's violent, bloody, and there are some cuss words sprinkled throughout. I have never seen the other predator movies and I am not likely to. I gave this film a 6 out of 10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not too bad. Good action movie, but a tad lackluster in some departments. CGI was a bit iffy in one or 2 scenes but overall not bad. Don't expect a proper Predator film though, look at it as a sci-fi action film as it falls short and disrespects the lore to some degree. It's an Enjoyable action flick but not a true Predator movie.

The one thing I waited on in the end by the coffin left behind by the 1st predator, when the kid said "it has a name, the Predator killer" I half expected Arnie to pop out of the box and say "I'm Back!" LOL Hell, they took so many liberties with the lore - they might as fell have done that for some laughs.… Expand

People focus on criticising this for couple of reasons and ill try to adress those:
Jokes. Yeah like the first one didnt have those (and literally they came from Shane Black *for those who dont know - he was an actor - Hawkins - in the first one, now hes a director* so the jokes are on same as one of the users said "yo mama" level in this as they were in 1987). There wasnt much horror in the first one (well if You were 7 y old when You first watched, then MAYBE it scared You but then You should realize what was the reason for being scared in the first place - original is not scary to adult now and it couldnt be scary back then - thats one of the main reasons original was pummeled by critics in 87').
Rest of you either complain about poor story but ok action OR ok story but bad action. Same with CG its eihter good or bad. To some of you it adds nothing to lore but others complain that the lore is now broken with predators trying to improve themselves genetically.
Well make up your minds.
I 100% buy this vision. Characters are cool, story actually makes sense and its finally something more than "alien creature kills other beings for fun". Overall it is excellent sci-fi movie, one of the best I have seen in years.… Expand
