The Predator has returned to the big screen in an all new adventure...but will it measure up?
To be completely honest I’m not really sure how I feel about this film. There were a few things I liked, but a lot of things I felt were poorly executed. For instance while I enjoyed a lot of the humor. There were times where I felt like they were leaning on it a little too hard. I’m not saying that this movie needs to take itself 100% seriously. However there is a giant alien trying to hunt you down and kill you; so I feel as though the stakes should’ve seemed higher. On top of that there were some strange story points throughout with them trying to build on The Predator lure.
“ I feel as though however what we had before was more than enough. ”
Making them bigger and badder didn’t exactly bring anything to the table in my opinion. Lastly I’ll say that if you’re a fan of 80’s/90’s action movies this one is probably right up your alley. At times those themes seemed out of place in the present day setting that it’s in. But at the same time I get what they were trying to do.
Overall I suppose that if you’re looking for a simple, straight forward, “turn your brain off” type action film this will probably do.
"As for me, I think this about puts the nail in the coffin for any future Predator or Alien set movies I might want to see."
Not to mention based off the weekend box office numbers for its opening weekend. This might be the last movie we all see from this universe for quite some time period.
Rating: 5/10
