The Predator Reviews
Were the Predators badass? Yes. Were there tons of cool weapons and action that made you excited to be watching an action movie? Yes!
Was it a total blast? Yes!
It’s a deplorable, cringe-worthy geek show made only for the banal fantasies of undemanding nerds, and little boys who can’t get into the cinema due to the 15 certificate.
While it has shortcomings, Shane Black's The Predator is a far better sequel than many give it credit for, and one fans should give another shot.
The basics of THE PREDATOR are that the action, the fighting, the gore, the jokes, and the performances are really quite good. It’s just that the actors involved could have done so much more with a more ambitious movie and script.
There have been bad franchise revivals before, but at least there's a sense that those revivals have love for the original films they fail to emulate. The Predator comes off like Black secretly loathed Predator and resented its success for years.
There's plenty to enjoy about The Predator, writer-director Shane Black's entry in the long-running franchise. Theres a good deal about it that's puerile and frustratingly dumb, too.
Kind of fantastic in the way that Sharknado was fantastic.
Episode 8: Sex, Lies and Predator
It's action-packed, fast-paced and, at times, a little silly - everything you want from a great Predator film.
It has a fair share of flaws that keep it from being one of the series' best, but The Predator certainly keeps the hunt interesting.
This is a movie that was torn apart and put back together time and time again during the editing process and it shows.
The pacing, the action, and the humor generally offset the deficiencies in continuity and storytelling.
Pulpy entertainment.
If you're easily offended, this ain't the film for you.
To Black's credit, he argues that the autism spectrum is not a handicap but rather the next step on the evolutionary chain. Still, even these commendable choices can't make up for the bizarre suburban setting, immature dialogue and gory graphics.
In 1987 Shane Black played Hawkins, the first of Arnold Schwarzenegger's burly soldiers to get brutally eviscerated by the dreadlocked alien hunter. If only this was the death of his involvement in a franchise that has rotted from the head down ever since
The pure action sequences do rock, but aside from the occasional hilarious zinger, the rest rarely gets on a roll for long.
The rapport between characters feels insincere, the juvenile humor suffocates whatever '80s thrills could unfold, and all actors are fully at the mercy of their lines.
The Predator is a violent, explosive and gory action film. In other words, exactly what you expect from a Predator movie.
Leaning heavily on the score of the original The Predator not only gives you a new Predator film, but a celebration of the series filled with clever call backs and in-jokes.
