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. |

WTF Hollywood believes you have to have a) a kid in movies like this and b) a super-sized "whatever it is" to attract fans is beyond me. In this case is misfired spectacularly. Why not just pick a current war zone and have the Predator come in and f*** s*** up? |

Finally got around to watching this last weekend.....Shane Black, what in the **** were you thinking?
Ugh what an awful movie....completely nonsensical story that goes all over the place, horrible dialog, the humor doesn't land at all and there's way too much of it, and that ending....woof. I love the Predator series but my God what a step back for the franchise.... |

Not sure it would have saved it 100% though? Your right, it was a little too hokey and didn’t take the premise seriously enough

Spoiler!
Just don't know why they don't go the anthology route and place Predators in different historical periods/battles... I mean they've moved completely away from the original idea of aliens who are drawn to conflicts here and hunt for sport and man being afraid of something that's greater than itself...its damn cool AND WORKS. Keep it simple. Now we've gone way off of reservation and get shit like this... |

the director Shane Black is a flat out douche bag for the way he directed this . Its hands down the worst film I saw in 2018 . I know I know , Black was an actor in the 1st Predator film and did a good job with The Nice Guys but jfc he was so wrong to direct this one. Basically turning it into a slap stick action / comedy (which wasn't remotely funny either ) .
He had a good cast to work with but reduced Thomas Jane into a joke in this. I seriously had 2nd hand embarrassment for all those involved. 3/10 and as someone else pointed out on here, that's all folks! This franchise is DEAD. |
