The Predator (2018)
2/10
An utter disappointment and a complete disgrace to the original.

2/10 (minor spoilers after the ***)

One of the worst films I've seen this year and definitely the worst in the franchise (even including AvP). An utter disappointment and a complete disgraceto the first two films in the series. The film completely lacks any atmosphere or urgency that made the original so great.

Bad acting, unlikeable characters, terrible writing and dialogue, messy script and editing, bad CGI. The film keeps switching between horror, action and comedy without ever nailing any of it. Don't get me started on the terrible and annoying teenage jokes they crack by the minute. Many scenes are just cut off halfway.

I am not a doctor or psychologist but I am sure that the son's autism is depicted 100 % incorrectly. You never feel, like his father even cares for him, still he is risking his own and many other peoples' lives to save him.

***

Why would the small Predator, who brings a secret weapon to earth to save humankind, still keep trying to kill our heroes?

Why would all these criminals risk their lives to save the kid or mankind?

How does the female biologist turn into a super soldier?

Why would Boyd Holbrook be welcomed in the Army again, after killing all these soldiers? Why would the even employ his autistic 10-year-old for christ's sake?
