Review of The Predator (2018) by Mauro L — 28 Nov 2018

The Predator is directed by Shane Black, written by Fred Dekker and Shane Black and starring Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key and Olivia Munn.

It's all about the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black's explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.

I'm not a huge fan of Predator, I love their costumes and the CGI, but this franchise didn't do that much for me, it didn't impress me that much.

The Predator is not disappointing for me as lots of people said it is, cause simply I'm a fan of the first Predator movie, but The Predator wasn't that good, it has lots of thing that had no sense!

Let's start with the things I liked about this movie... I liked the costumes very very much, they were really cool, and it's actually the most impressive thing about this movie. The CGI was really good too, but I have a problem with it too, the predators were showing up in the dark, the crew was just trying to hide something, like their mistakes so they made them show in the dark to make it looks perfect, predators showed only one time in the morning, and it was the final fight, and it was so short.. anyways, let's back to the things I liked, the story, I liked the story, it was good and the last thing I liked is the role of Jacob Tremblay, but it went in an another wrong way too!

Now with the things I hated about this movie... I will start with the CGI again, and as I said above the predators in the dark. I didn't notice any drop with the CGI, and of course that's what the crew wanted from us. I guess they were lazy to work hard, so they made them in the night, but then they showed them in the morning, and then I said "Oh, you're capable to make an amazing CGI, but you were just lazy to do it!".

Then let's move to the role of Jacob Tremblay, it was really good at the beginning, but then he actually turned into bad-acting. I hated how they made him insult and all of that stuff, I hated it!!

The performances in general were bad, all of them were less than fine.

I hated the predator dog so much, they made him a pet after a bullet in the head!!!! It bothered me so much!!!

The story was good as I said, but it was so slow, then so fast, it was really awkward!

Because of that, it was boring.

The jokes were trash too, I don't know why they made it at the first place!

The Predator in general is fine, I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it too, I just liked it...

I'm gonna give The Predator a B-.. I think it's a good movie, but it depends on what are you expecting to see, and I as expecting to see a movie that it's gonna break the first Predator movie, but unfortunately it didn't!

Thank you, guys as always for reading my review, hope you like, and if you have any comment, just say it.
