Review of The Predator (2018) by Mark A — 13 Sep 2018
The Predator peaks at roughly 30 minutes in and sharply declines afterward.
There is next to zero character development, and the action seems forced as if they tried to put 10 pounds of action in a 5 pound box.
While the homage to the original's score is a nice touch, it is quickly abandoned for something that sounds like a Thor movie for the last 2/3 of the movie.
Contrary to other installments every Predator in the movie is quickly dispatched, leaving the viewer with that feeling of "that's it?!".
Coupled with the CGI and non human-in-a-suit "Ultimate Predator", terrible Predator language subtitles and "translator" used in the end, this installment gets two stars: one for having at least having a Predator in it and one for even attempting.
Save your money and go watch 2010's Predators again, it's an under rated film that holds true to what a Predator film should be about: the hunt.
