Shane Black needs to stay away from any franchise he didn’t create. His approach to them seems to be making the installment he is directing a flat out comedy

Didn't care for it. There were some things I liked like Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, and I didn't actually mind the giant predator. Everything else was just grating and obnoxious. Felt like a Deadpool script mated with whatever the original vision was. I wish! That might have been actual fun. This was just goddamn awful |

A) Agree B) disagree. Predators at least had a few unique qualities about it, the most enjoyable being that it takes place on another planet, it adds the inner conflict of Predators vs each other for the first time, and had a decent cast. They just didn't do enough with those elements. C) absolutely agree D) Those are awful too IMO, but at least better than The Predator.
Predators might take place on another planet and introduce some inner conflict but its still a rip off. Blatant copying beat by beat and basic premise. Big muscly lead togther with mercenary soldiers being hunted down in a jungle. Its a fine line between paying homage and plagiarizing. But when they even use the same music from the original, it becomes the latter. Oh and the twist with one of the humans was pretty lame. They could easily have done this for predator 2 but they went in a different direction which was good. Adrian Brody was a "big muscly lead"? |
