The Predator



looks pretty good even if they went a bit overboard with gore. (CGI gore looks too globulous)

the new The Predator was written by Shane Black (Dawkins). So here's hoping for some more big pussy jokes to go along with the Predators oversized maw.

If I could do one of those flow charts, it would be simple:

"Does your Predator movie have Arnold playing Dutch?"

If the answer is yes -- "Go ahead and make that movie"
If the answer is no -- "Do not make this movie"

The property itself isn't what made that movie great. Arnold achieving 'Peak Arnold' in a pack of alpha males and fighting a ****ing alien is what made that movie great.

You're not going to recapture that by putting a guy who's about the size of the average american in Camo, handing him a gun and telling Key to crack a few jokes.

I don't understand why studios keep thinking they're going to bring this back.

The first movie had great, interesting characters that were discovering the Predator along with the viewer.

The second movie managed to have another interesting set of characters along with a gritty, city setting. Not as much mystery, but still very good.

They all turn into piles of shit after that. Mystery is gone, no interesting characters. Kill this franchise now.

A couple of gripes after sleeping on it:

As with Iron Man 3 there's too much emphasis, unbelievable emphasis, on the kid. Nobody cares about the kid or what he can do or his comedic timing. Stop putting children in movies they don't belong in and giving them super important parts.

The way this film was cut was horrendous. Important bits of dialogue aren't thought about, their just said quickly and then it's onto the next scene. This is apparent in the ending more so than ever, where deaths happen so instantaneously that the audience doesn't get to appreciate or feel remorse for any of the team or the red shirts. There was one death, to an interesting character, that happens so quick, and so close up, that you can safely assume what happens, but the kill happened so close up and really made no sense that it was pointless, and that particular character deserved so much better.

The end is a joke, badly acted, bad CGI, bad dialogue, just bad. There's not going to be a sequel to this particular movie, trust me on that, so there was no point in shooting that sequence. Take the end sequence out, and extend the final fight and give the characters more backstory, or deaths that aren't so abrupt.

The cool Predator scenes are overshadowed by the mindless, or bad Predator scenes. The Predator hounds are useless in this movie and make no sense throughout the entirety of it. The cool dialogue that makes you laugh, or think that's a nice callback, is overshadowed by the bad dialogue that makes no sense and is a reach for laughs. That's pretty much the overall point of this movie; the cool is overshadowed by the bad, and that's why I liken it to AVP.

The only thing that would make this interesting is if Yvonne Strahovski and Olivia Munn have a nude lesbian sex scene.

So I read the script to this a year ago. It was awful then and the final product is even worse.

Won’t spoil anything but this movie manages to top the worst concept for a Predator film that you could ever dream up. It’s just awful, stupid, and dumb all wrapped into one with global warming sprinkled on the top.

It was fun outside of the horrible ending and fight. They should have had better deaths.

Only reason it got rated r was for language. The violence and gore was pg13.

I liked predators more.

Yes, it blew balls

There were moments of laughter but a lot of the humor was forced.

Even for Predator standards the storyline had too many leaps of suspension of belief

This movie was so exciting I fell asleep. Had a lot of potential but terrible storyline and ending. A pale comparison to the original.

Watched it a few weeks ago. It was ok, but nothing special. I wasn’t bored. I’d give it a C+

Did have some funny jokes and one liners. I expected more though.

I laughed at "Get to the chopper!"

They actually decently laid the groundwork for a Predator universe story, but this movie was too much schlock. Probably won't get a sequel or any more of what could have made for an interesting movie. Bad movie, but guilty pleasure kind of deal. I was kinda surprised at a few of the names that were in it, too.
