WTF did I just watch?! First thing that hit me was the massive amount of forced F-Words. Don't get me started on the rest as I'm still making sense of it.
The Predator (2018)

I enjoyed seeing the various scifi weapons from the predators arsenal again, and for some inexplicable reason I thought the film had promise at the start and mid bits until it went completely off the rails.So you loved the movie then
No idea what the directors or writers were on because anyone could have rustled up a better plot than this.

Terrible... The look on Olivia Munn's face at times conveys just how bad it was (to me, anyway).

What the hell kind of idea was this!? Talk about utter car crash, i feel like movie making has lost any kind of reverence for quality story telling, now its all low hanging fruit...

Thought it was just me. I was looking forward to this after following it from the beginning . It wasn't long in to the film I really thought it's got to get better but sadly it just got worse. Utter pile of suit. Plot was riddled with holes and the acting was poor...On a lighter note I watched Ant man and the Wasp the following evening and throughly enjoyed it. .

Just spotted it's on E4 tonight at 2200.
Caught it part way through a month or so ago, made Alien Covenant and Prometheus look amazing, awful addition to earlier Predator films!

I was just watching this again on Saturday night, they had some nice concepts about the hybrid predator and the killer suit at the end. But besides that the movie was bad, so many jokes most of which that didn't land, though Tourette's guy ticking and distracting the Predator was slightly amusing.
The whole movie played out like the writer was on crack for most of the process, it just felt like a movie going out of the way to not take itself serious, any "serious scene" felt like the actors were just holding in laughter.
How 'Predators' never got another outing is strange as it was by far the best of all the movies after predator 2 (though that's not really saying much). Would have been interesting to revisit that and see if the 2 survivors managed to get off the planet and see where things went from there. They even talked about a possible prequel showing what Laurence Fishburne's character went through, which could have been interesting.
