Review of The Predator (2018) by Coach M — 18 Sep 2018

Went into this movie pretty much know the gist of what I was going to get. The Predator is never going to be Hannibal Lechter. So, people looking for insightful drama or some charismatic villian, you can only fault yourselves for going to this movie.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I'd like it. Never thought I'd watch a Predator movie and laugh out loud as much as I did. I thought the autistic angle was nice, but could have been fleshed out a bit more to give the audience more understanding of the autistic brain and, therefore, why the big Predator wanted the boy as the trophy. The fight scenes were good. The humans didn't stand a chance, as usual. But it would've been sweet to see another human with a combination Hanzo's katana skills and Harrigan's doggedness.

Have to say the ending was cheesy - the whole "Iron Man suit" from bracelet??? Really?

Overall, though, it was cool I got more than I paid for.
