I liked Brody better than expected and it was rated R at least. But the movie felt tired. People act like Brody just walked off the set of The Pianist, but he was jacked in that movie. I agree, the problem was the story, which felt like a stale rehash of the original mixed with things from AVP. I'm actually looking forward to this one, though I'm preparing for a more light-hearted movie considering the casting and Shane Black's style. But the original also had a lot of funny moments, so maybe it'll work. Jesus.

Yeah, watched this the other night and it's a total dud. I was barely even entertained on a base, lizard-brain level (which even the AvP films managed to achieve). Disappointed in Black and bummed for Dekker that this wasn't the comeback I had my fingers crossed for all these years. Stale humor, dull action, too many unfunny and obnoxious characters. None of it worked for me.

I wonder what NxNWRocks’ reaction was to this movie. Must feel VERY disappointed.

None of it worked for me. True. While not great films, I find them to at least have memorable moments or ideas. Expectations were low, and they were met. I know “Requiem” cops it big time, and it’s mostly well deserved, but the father and son scene in the woods, and the hospital set-piece I find hard to forget. “The Predator” is just all round forgettable and that’s disappointing especially with those involved.

The worst film of 2018 in my book! an insult to the character and such bad direction, terrible CGI blood, laughable giant predator, an idea that autistic people are the next step in evolution (such an insult to those with Asperg and autism) and horrible script. The Predaturd is more like it.
I admire Fred Dekker for Monster Squad, Night of the Creeps, Tales from the crypt episodes and House (1985) and Shane Black for his 80s/90s stuff but lately they made terrible comebacks and this one just like Predators and AVP 1 and 2 are hurting the legacy of Predator. To me the last worthwhile Predator movie was 2 and i never get the flack it got as i love Predator 2. Now Fox is hurting Alien as well after Aliens and turning them into jokes. Put this franchise to bed already before you hurt it's legacy.
Zero stars.

But I'm a glass half full type of guy and focus on the positives.
You're a 'glass half empty' type - and bitter whiney negative hater

Looks like my prediction came true. What a surprise.
Brody--the problem was -he was way too beta to be the tough guy. And they overcompensated for it by ludicrous displays of macho like beating up a predator. Arnie was only able to tickle one.
Similar thing with Shia Labouef in Transformers when he jumps on Megatron and defeats him.

Or maybe you just have a low bar for comedy and whine about how everyone is a 'hater' all of the time.

So I go on the internet and hit the quote button and respond to others with negativity to make me feel better about myself! 95% of my IMDBv2.0 post are filled with hate, sarcasm, bitterness and negativity - because if I take an account of myself and look at myself in the mirror - I hate myself - so I try to make myself feel better by putting down others on the internet!!!!!!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I responded to the above posters response of 'Predaturd' and felt the need to respond negatively because 95% of my posts are negative and that's who I am - a hater in real life - 95% of my posts are negative and sarcastic and this is my outlet - hating on strangers on the internet behind a keyboard. I log onto IMDBv2.0 because my life in the real world sucks - and to feel better about myself I hate on others on the internet and it makes me feel better about myself temporarily - but then I wake up and hate myself and then log on to hate on others - it's a vicious cycle. I suck! WAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! where's the next post I can respond to negatively.......... I suck at life! wahhh!!!!
