Review of The Predator (2018) by Alex G — 15 Sep 2018
It felt like Fantastic Four or Justice League in terms of the editing and reshoots. Clearly there was a good to great movie there at somepoint, but the studio reshot random scenes then remixed other scenes to create a collage of scenes with no connective tissue.
Plot points and characters dropping in and out at random, and so many hand waves to explain away cut scenes or character moments...there better be a director's cut in our future. What makes this so sad is--before the reshoots come into play--this movie is unbelievably fun.
It's the return of Shane Black and Fred Deckker I have been waiting years for...then suddenly the wheels come off the bus and it just keeps going into the land of nonsense and "things happening.
" How do studios think they can get away with this bullshit? This movie angered me.
