El depredador

It is a parody of Predator. Don't expect science fiction or story line just a poor action comedy film.

I went into this movie trying my best to stay objective and take it for what it was. And I enjoyed it as a sci fi action movie, it wasn't bad. No where near as bad as some of the more fanatical fans seem to think it was here.

Acting was good, screenplay was good, pacing was good. Story was actually not that bad neither. Unless someone wanted to try and challenge the original in terms of plot, there's not many options that works, this kinda did work.

If you ignore the more crazy fans that like to bash on anything that's not on par with their own opinions, you'll enjoy this film.

People don't seem to understand that rating 5 out of 10 is "watchable but not for me." ratings. Yet there's individuals out there that give perfectly alright movies 2 and 3 stars just because they can't give objective opinions even if their lives depended on it.

But I digress.

The movie was a excellent action movie, a great sci fi movie and a questionable Predator movie. So how should we base the rating then?

7/10 action movie. 7/10 sci fi movie. 5/10 Predator movie.

Final verdict = 6/10

One step above parody. Without question it's the worst in the franchise.

Completely took the beauty away from this graceful monster. In a nutshell, it's so confused. Is it a marvel film is it a kids film or is it a genre film. The script is horrendous even though I did laugh, but that just made me sad. The characters are just, well pointless. There's zero suspense. There is some good ideas in there but nothing to redeem it. Why are studios so scared to just slow down and make a descent horror film. It's the predator fgs how can you screw this up, And a cgi predator that's just the worst way to go. If your not a fan don't bother if you are a fan definitely don't bother. Very very disappointing.

Am I the only one that actually enjoyed this movie? Was it even in the same league as the original predator? Hell no. But the special effects were great, the predator looked amazing, the action was entertaining, the acting was okay, majority of the attempts at humour were cringy, and there was little to no tension. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was, a B flick monster popcorn movie. I guess my expectations weren't that high, I knew what I was getting into.
