If you are
easily triggered by strong wimmin wokery, it'll be your main bitching focus. Chances are that you already made your mind up before you watched it anyway. Some of it slightly irked me, but the film was overall decent enough to forgive most of it.
It's not quite Rey level Mary Sue stuff here. Much of what she does is earned and learned.
- Yeah, the animal CGI isn't amazing. Just deal with it
- Yeah, her being able to beat up blokes is questionable. I sighed, said ok and moved on. I guess you could argue that it's something they may not be expecting, so there's an element of overconfidence and surprise. However, where did she gain the fight experience in order to be that handy? I dunno, Whatever.
- Pred brutality and athleticism was good. It did cut away a bit too quickly for a lot of kills though.
- The predator itself... Obviously less intelligent and more savage than the ones we're used to, so I'll let how it was defeated go to a degree. Plus, it did get shot in the head and was missing an arm, so obviously not in the best shape.
- Wasn't a huge fan of the redesign, however, it's meant to be a different breed, so hey.
- Shoehorning Rafael's pistol into this wasn't necessary. I get that it's a slight setup for a possible sequel, but there's already a decent enough story for that in comic lore. One that involves it passing to the pred from the man himself.
As said, it did get slightly silly in the final act, but it was all good fun.
