Well I've done it. I watched all the alien and all the Predator movies leading up to this point.
And it's been a mostly disappointing ride.
This movie is kind of a low note.
It's by no means the worst Predator alien movie but it's not great.
It's a pretty standard action flick with your boring protagonist man escaping the government and fighting monster aliens wild teamed up of a group of weirdos who are interesting out of combat but generic in gone bad.
I'm not entirely sure what it is I'd want out of a movie like this.
I mean what do you do, change up the formula and completely alter the story?
If you do that you might as well not calling a predator movie anymore just make something else.
But sticking with what they do with mediocre and uninteresting.
And a little weird and uncomfortable given their autistic kid they have in the film whose supposed to be the vision of the future?
Not sure what they're going at there.
Maybe the kids just a replacement for the once prominent and luckily dying out magical Enchanted black man.
You remember that was her mother movies right.
You'd have this random black guy who would just have magical powers for some reason or Arcane knowledge about a certain things.
Kind of like a stoic wizard but he doesn't have a wizard hat.
Anyways that was something that was going through my head when I was originally watching a movie.
But as time went on I just started losing interest in the whole thing.
It starts out with a few decent ideas and then devolves into your basic action Affair.
I would have been more interested if we just stayed in the laboratory whole time with this random woman that was being hired on to study the Predator creature.
For some reason she's really baffled about everything she's about to work on and everybody else already knows who she is.
You think they would have hired her on earlier given how prominencet this project seems to be with the government.
Predators aren't just a theoretical observation by people they're flat-out known and they've been to Earth several times at this point.
Also what the heck are we doing with the Predators now.
I feel like we've run out of ideas for these guys, there's this whole thing about Predators wanting to evolve their species using the DNA of other required creatures and then there's a weird message about global warming because the Predators won't be able to hunt humans anymore in about 30 years It just feels really out of place for a mysterious creature race that should be in the shadows popping up to kill us from time to time.
The more we learn about these beings the less interesting they get.
Also like every other Predator movie they seem to get weaker with every subsequent film. There's a huge predator in this movie and it can barely kill people.
It kills one Predator but then after that it can't stop one boring blond guy and his group of ragtag boys (+ one girl) carrying with them a literal child.
That's a low Point Mister Predator a low low point.
I think the biggest thing going against this film is it's running time. Start an hour and 45 minutes it's just too much. Cut the thing down by 20 and you have a better film. We could get to the action better we wouldn't have to waste our time with character development for a bunch of characters we all know we're going to die and we could just make a fun romp of it.
