Convoluted is the best way to define this one. Its like Shane Black made a tomato sauce...and he throws in the paste and the tomatoes and the garlic and then he just keeps throwing shit in there until the sauce is full of chunks of skittles and banana peels and just pretty much anything he thought sounded good at the time. The writing is bad, ultimately.

Are you saying Seth Rogan could do better writing than that?  |

This movie should have been the best since the original. Instead it’s the second weakest of the franchise.

My own Top 2 Favorite Movies in the Franchise are "PREDATOR" and "PREDATORS".

Another example of too many ideas going into one film. If you wanted an auto predator shot for our hero to wear why not open with that? Why go thru all the other bullshit in this movie? Have the first predator crash, mortally wounded giving our main the predator killer...followed by the second ship housing several big preds...have the loony’s be his actual squad...eliminated retarded kid and town bullshit. Develop looneys past just being crazy. Give them some personality rather than Tourette’s. More consolidated and more enjoyable, probably. |

Too bad.

PREDATOR was an action sci-fi movie with elements that lent themselves to world-building. However, it was also a horror movie that relied on hiding the villain. Whenever we saw him, he wore a mask. We didn't see his face until the last part. How do you make a sequel that expands the mythology but also keeps the element of surprise? I think all you need is the right atmosphere, something THE PREDATOR fails to get right even from the very beginning. It's a sequence that was written, filmed and scored like a space opera (that would be fine if the rest of the movie was like that, but it isn't). The title character doesn't get a visual introduction; he's just... there. No, I'm not being so harsh just because PREDATORS set the bar so high with its opening. While I never felt any of the main characters in this franchise were complex or compelling, this was the first installment where I was rooting against the heroes. The comedic dialogue is unfunny and even kind of dumb, which shocked me considering this was co-written and directed by Shane Black. Speaking of, this movie, just like KISS KISS BANG BANG and THE NICE GUYS, shows moments of violence and/or pain in a nonchalant way. The difference is that those 2 movies did it for laughs, while this one seems to be serious about it. It comes off as awkward (especially when a certain character on top a bus falls down), just like the editing in some scenes. 3/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.

The writing is bad, ultimately. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Which is what they did with the Alien franchise to. Oh I know how to make it better! Let's make a movie with them both. Well, that sucked so let's try it again! They are out of ideas and just don't know when to quit as they get farther and farther behind. I like Predators and don't understand why they haven't made a sequel yet. We gotta see them get off and go home.

Funny I kinda thought at the end the ‘predator killer’ was gonna wind up being Adrian Brody. |
