The Predator (2018)

Hands down the worst movie that I’ve sat through in a long time. There is literally not one redeeming factor to ANYTHING that hits the screen. Whatever action that splatters in to the plot is ruined by excessive gore. The lead is such a douche that I was rooting for both him and his linage to be eliminated. His “loony” team was shallow and ridiculous and killed about as many American soldiers as the Predators. The story and actions depicted were beyond ludicrous and were downright idiotic. They even managed to get Olivia Munn naked for two separate decontamination scenes but showed absolutely NO skin or nudity. Again… no fun, exciting or redeeming factors at all. The quintessential money grab beyond dumb 0/10 insult to one’s intelligence movie.

I wants so badly to be '87 Predator but fails in every regard. A bland bore. 5/10

What a wasted opportunity. Almost completely devoid of Black's trademark wit not to mention a lead performer who's on screen charisma is the equivalent of a black hole. Makes Rodriguez's film look like a masterpiece by comparison

Liked it more than others here, but I thought the special effects, action set pieces and creature effects were well thought out (some of the special effects looked rushed, though). Some characters I liked more than others, and thought they did a good job with giving Munn more to do than being a stereotypical love interest for the lead. I dunno, I think Boyd Holbrook did a great job with what he was given...which leads me to the most disappointing thing about the movie - the story. Or, maybe the screenplay. I thought the story let everyone involved down in this one. I actually liked the last Predators movie a lot more, but nothing will compare with the iconic original (1987).

Wow one of the worst movies I've seen recently

I don't think it's completely irredeemable, but 2010's Predators is certainly a lot better. The biggest problem with this one is its tone: It strays far more into comedy, yet isn't even actually funny. Said departure from the more serious tone of the previous three films is what derails it.

I’m positive on the 8th level of hell has this on repeat.
