So many zeroes.. :/ The movie is 95% action, actors are good, lines are decent, so it's pretty entertaining overall. Nobody will ever top McTiernan's Predator anyway

A very average family film with some predators in!the script and story are both lazy, and the direction is more suited to Home Alone than a predator film. That said, it's all supplied with tongue in cheek and as such isn't terrible. I certainly wouldn't rush to watch it again!

The damage this **** movie did to the saga is inexplicable. Luckily, Predator is now “slowly recovering,” because the damage was catastrophic for the franchise. I can’t even give it a 1. It’s an insult to those of us who love Predator.

first english, below spanish: english: 'the predator' is a bloody, bad, yet entertaining film. it tries to revitalize the franchise with a fresh start and a standout performance from child actor jacob tremblay. visually, it is impressive with realistic digital effects, though 3d and blood effects are weak. the script is inconsistent, mixing excessive gore with humor and featuring poorly conceived characters. the group of misfits provides the film's most enjoyable moments. its gore-heavy identity is clear, and the finale delivers thrilling action that redeems much of the chaos. overall, it’s incoherent and absurd, but fun—a “bad but enjoyable” movie. spanish: 'the predator' es una película sangrienta, mala pero entretenida. busca revitalizar la saga con un inicio fresco y la destacada actuación del niño jacob tremblay. visualmente es impresionante con efectos digitales realistas, aunque el 3d y la sangre son deficientes. el guion es inconsistente, mezclando gore excesivo con humor y personajes mal concebidos. el grupo de inadaptados ofrece los momentos más disfrutables. su identidad sangrienta es clara y el desenlace ofrece acción trepidante que redime gran parte del caos. en conjunto, es incoherente y absurda, pero divertida: una película “mala pero disfrutable”.

Another American army brag. Cringe dialogs, woo-haa military ridiculousness, stupid plot, lingering emptiness. I love the actor who played the detective Miller in Expanse. He should pick better movies.

Vakit kaybı bir yapım. Tür öleli zaten bilmem kaç yıl olmuş. Tavsiye etmiyorum.

The Predator’s first attempt to step away from the typical story framework feels a bit unsteady. The story is scattered and casual, with character development that comes across as forced and formulaic. Even the iconic Predator itself has lost the captivating charm it once had.

6.5/10 While for a minute i actually thought they finally getting into another different and original direction, it's eventually the same old Predator premise that's been repeatable for most of the time in this franchise, it's another depends on the film execution whether it's still worth to watch or not, and while it's probably the most questionable entry in the franchise, and the uncredited Comedy genre, some of the characters in the film definitely helps to make The Predator for me personally still quite followable and quite works, Boyd Holbrook was good as a lead in this film, and the rest of his criminal partners were enjoyable and funny, Olivia Munn basically just an alien nerd scientist that contribute nothing, but her performance still ok i guess, Jacob Tremblay in i think his worst performance, and Sterling K. Brown as a pretty nasty villain, and yes he works just fine, and the thing that i really like also was of course the bloody goryness that they are not shy to show, i'm pretty sure male audience especially teenagers will love to see many people got cut in half, and the special effects was pretty good, overall The Predator and basically this whole franchise are still not giving us the new completely original different direction since 1987, despite this movie particularly still have some things that works, and it's pretty disappointing knowing that the Alien franchise actually able to do it and it works for me personally, 31 years later same old cases.

It is not a good movie, and the supporting cast besides Nebraska is really, really bad.

What happened? How did a movie from writer/director Shane Black and co-writer Fred Dekker turn into this much of a mess? The Predator is the worst film in a franchise that also features Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, and has one of the most over-written scripts seen in a long time. If only as much care was put into writing these characters as was put into the nonsensical lore.

This movie has become my guilty pleasure. Yeah, it lacks the intensity of the OG, the style of the sequel, and the raw minimalism of Prey, but in my book it has the best damn cast of all of them - Predators included (which I think takes itself way too seriously). The more I watch it, the more I find. It's just a really good ensemble and they did a good job with the Upgrade. They even avoid the trap of going all soft because there is a kid with autism. Instead they double down Goonies style. Life is dangerous and everybody can get killed off. Traeger is a really great villain also. I want to see this group tackle more stuff together...unfortunately not possible. Anyways, I don't understand the hate for this flick. I love it and I am loving it more and more each time I watch it.

The wild trash, thought Predator franchise is dead and it was the last nail to its coffin; got some hope after the Prey now though

This time a Predator is captured, and held at some military research lab, and of course it escapes as the scientists don’t restrain him properly. Then the movie plays out like John Carpenter’s Halloween where they all drive around town searching for the Predator on Halloween with all the kids out trick or treating, and then they send in incompetent government agents. The script doesn’t make much sense with a lot of continuity errors, and I don’t know if it is due to a problem with poor editing, but it feels quite disjointed in places. The scientist in one scene finds out who the sniper was that had first contact with the Predator, but then she is running for her life, and meets the sniper and says she already read his file. Like, no she didn’t. She never even had a chance to see it. At another point the group of misfit service members, which they refer to themselves as the loonies are in a woman’s house, and then you see them spread out in various vehicles driving around town including a police car with the sirens going. Like, what? Or later when they randomly show up at the perfect time with a News helicopter. Where did they get the vehicles from? They also magically have a lot of military grade firearms including grenade launchers, assault rifles with silencers, and mp5s. Yet they never had access to any of it. When a Predator says he is hunting them then the groups of people that were killing each other suddenly became allies without any hesitancy whatsoever, which was ridiculous. Oh, and the Scientist lady turned out to have special forces combat skills, which also was not believable. Some of the deductions like from the military intelligence officer who deduced what the Predators were doing was too far-fetched. No way he could have deduced all that on the info he had, but serves as a lazy way for exposition. The Scientist who figures out what the Predators are up to on each planet by just looking at their blood in a microscope is also crazy far-fetched. No way she could deduce that. Also serves as exposition, and there were other moments equally as far-fetched. The young kid with autism who liked around 9 was also some kind of genius at being able to immediately know how to use the alien technology. This didn’t make any sense. A VA facility would not be where they take the Predator to conduct tests, and the security would have been much better since they know they have an alien that is very deadly with a lot of strength as they make references to the Predators in previous movies. They know what they are capable of. It is also highly convenient that the soldier that makes first contact with the alien happens to be in the same VA facility. Not to mention, how convenient it was that the soldier was on a secret mission to rescue hostages in the jungle where the alien’s escape pod happened to land just as he was about to engage in his mission. The movie has a lot of tonal problems too. It seems like it is meant to be a sci-fi action horror, which makes sense, but it also tries to be a comedy at times, and the attempts at humor feels so out of place, and cringe. I can’t tell if it is trying to be an intentional satire or not. The group of misfit soldiers are terribly out of place with one guy with tourettes as if he is meant to be the comic relief, and their interactions with one another is just irritating with some slapstick comedy. The scientist that joins them also seems to act out of character at times in a very disjointed way. And, the CGI was not a good idea for the Predator, and looks like they were jumping on the Marvel bandwagon. The acting was pretty poor apart from the lead guy, and woman whom were decent and some of the action sequences were decent, but not much else.

I think it is watchable but also the weakest in the Predator franchise. It mostly lacks the feeling of fear and dread the other movies have and the story should be a bit more ironed out. I also dislike the stuff they add to the lore which weakens the franchise in my opinion. The previous movie was actually pretty good so I was hoping this would be equally good too. The story starts with a squad of the US army on a mission in Mexico against a drug cartel when a strange flying object crashes nearby. For the sniper Quinn it is the start of a strange adventure he never would have imagined in his wildest dreams or nightmares. I am vague to avoid spoilers. The first few minutes are excellent but it did get weaker fast. It is never as intense as the previous movies. They lack the dread, fear and menace. To be fair it as its moments but the story in total is a missed opportunity. A lot is not used well and if it were on DVD I would fast forward a lot. Also the additions to the lore weaken the franchise. A lot of the appeal was that the predators were mysterious. Here they answer some questions but the answers are disappointing. There / Those are also WTF moments like the instant understanding of technology, the upgrade stuff and the Predator using verbal exposition to name those I think are harmful. I like the cast even if nothing cant top the first Predators cast. The lead role by Boyd Holbrook works but is also the weakest lead character in the franchise. His squad consisting of actors Alfie Allen, Augusto Aguilera, Thomas Jane, Trevante Rhodes and Keagan Michael Keys. They are fully to my liking and I enjoyed them a lot. Special praise to Jacob Tremblay as there are not many good child actors and I think Yvonne Strahovski and Olivia Munn are also good. We have a really good cast in my humble opinion. The special effects were fine for me. Not the gold standard but convincing. Overall I repeat that this movie is not intense and scary enough by franchise standards. It is worthwhile but not amazing. Weakest movie in the franchise and some of the new lore I will ignore. A 5/10 seems fair for me.

This film is nothing more but a spit in the face of all Predator fans. There is absolutely no respect towards the Yautja lore, as if Shane Black did not take even a minute in looking for material to make the film. I've spent a while thinking about ways the plot could've been changed to make it work (all of them without the Assassin Predator, of course), but dude, I give up, there is absolutely no way of justifying that this movie was even a concept to be started. It looks more as a Fan-Parody than an actual Hollywood movie.

This movie is a real

How did y'all expect this to be good? It doesn't even take place around Christmas.

Aspergers and climate change....... that's all you really need to know about this movie

The 2018 Predator is no longer as terrible as Predators, but it is not near the original dilogy. We can say that Predator 2018 is a soft restart of the franchise with many references to the original and scenes not included in the original film. But the new Predator is still an average film, ranging from a dumb linear plot and a boring action, to just a terribly similar and uninteresting main antagonist. A restart that the franchise did not need. The last 20 years, the Predator series is only tormented, it is better to leave it. And shoot something new and original.

this movie is like the MCU merged with R Rated content, you have been warned

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Schwarzenegger just doesn't lose the film anywhere and without him. The film also makes the same mistake that Alien made: Covenant, and that is that they serve us the main emzák under the nose and can be seen quite often, which is not exactly the best idea, because then it loses in the atmosphere and when we are at the atmosphere, so it is completely zero. At Alien and Predator, the atmosphere was the main thing, and unfortunately it is not here, at least for me. For me, an above-average film that I do not recommend.

My review has to be 75 characters long. So I just had dinner. It was nice. This film is **** ****

Amazing movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For most of the film, I had no idea what they were saying. Maybe bad diction, not able to see characters lips clearly or bad sound mix, whatever it was, I'm sure I would have enjoyed the film more if I knew what they were saying. Aside from that issue, it was kinda entertaining.

It's bad to know that studio is not able to make good Predator movies after first one. This one was an improvement from previous parts but it was not great. The script and editing had problems. The story is interesting but it was not made perfectly, mainly due to slow pacing and unnecessary scenes. Action is good and you may also enjoy the deaths scenes Acting and writing was also not that good. They were okay. Overall, it's 'OK'. It had a lot of potential but the overall product was not upto the mark.

This movie was fun. I lol'd more then once. Acting was fun and special effects are fine. Definitely worth watching.

While The Predator miserably failed to present a good sci-fi horror story, it unexpectedly managed to make me laugh a few times for its duration. I did not expect to find the movie as fun as I did and for that matter, I don't think it was that bad. It was just a terrible horror movie but succeeded in at least making the audience laugh a couple of times thanks to its comedy relief characters and moments. Truly the movie's unexpected saving grace.

This is the worst movie, it's a huge **** .. it has a lot of mistakes in what is the story of the Predator, the characters are stupid, the special effects are rubbish a story that seems like a bad joke, a bad parody **** you Shane Black

What a **** movie !!! I was really hyped enough for this movie and i get only dissapointment! I really wish a predator movie with Arnolds return event thouhgt in his age!!!! Maybe he was the reason of success in the first movie cause all the others movies than the first one **** really hard!

The script and acting are so bad I wished the predator won. The jokes are flat, the characters, inconsistent and seem to possess intelligence well below par. If you expected a stupidly fun movie, well, one out of two ain't bad.

For the love of god, stop letting shane black direct movies. He **** and should have his career ended by now.

My favorite part was when they reveal that the predators are literally weaponizing autism to further their conquests.

Que te han hecho Depredador, antes eras chévere.... Deberían pagarte por ver está basura, malas actuaciones, sin sentido por todo lado y efectos que realmente se ven peor que la de Swatseneger de los 80. Escribo esto ahora porque la veo en cable, no hubiera pagado cine por este desproposito

This is the worst movie I have seen in years. The sad thing is, terrible movies can be hilarious and enjoy in that way, but not this one. It's not even good at being a terrible movie.

I saw this movie in a plane, so I was bored. I am happy, that I didnt lose my free time for this garbage with unrealistic characters (most ridiculous: a scientist woman who fights like a male soldier xD) and weird story. Congratulations for destroying this franchise, that started perfectly.

Worst story I ever saw related to the Predator settings. Shane black should be ashamed!

All Predator movies thrilled me to the beginning to the end. All of then but this one. Was so boring and weak that I gave up watching in the middle of the movie to avoid wasting another hour in my life.

Bad story, bad acting, bad casting and definitely worst Predator movie. This is officially ending the Predator series. One was great and two was good, can't understand what Hollywood is doing anymore.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

worst predator movie ever. all of the predator movies are not as bad as this even avpr. this movie is too cheesey for a predator movie also the plot is so awful. also you dont get really any reason behind the confrotation between the 2 predators trash dont watch

"The Predator" was a fairly weak movie, where the action was a good companion, but where the performances are not credible, where are bad visual effects and where the story is vulgar and bad, a very bad attempt to bring Predator back to the big screen to the new generations.

This was the best Predator movie ever. Comrades, into the future great storyline. It's so cool

Un predator terrificante ma anche come film d'azione a se stante è inguardabile.

Just totally stupid. Nothing make sense. The original is much better........

Gets a number of things right but the plot is stupid and writing inconsistent.
