Review of The Predator (2018) by Twitu — 29 Nov 2018

I actually liked the first 20 minutes or so. It seemed like it was going along the classic lines. But then suddenly it turned around completely. The humor alone made this movie look like it was made for children ("Get to the choppers" Really?), but the logic was completely messed up as well. Nothing made sense. Predators want to steal autism? What? A boy in his teens just scoffs at naked boobies? I lost the plot completely at the end. Even as a parody it wouldnt have made sense. Complete and utter nonsense. Also cut so fast that you sometimes dont even realize what just happened. Literally. You just sit there with a giant question mark over your head.

I watched The Meg before it and because it at least gave me 3 or 4 chuckles I found it better than The Predator. Yes, this movie is that bad.

I dont know why they destroy all these formerly epic franchises. I cant believe they let people make these movies who have no idea what makes these franchises great or no idea how to write or direct a movie in the first place.

Alien, Terminator, Star Wars, Star Trek, Ghostbusters, etc. They seem to want to rewrite everything great. Like changing history.
