 So seriously like how many more of these movies are they gonna make? My name is Brandon Keith Avery and This is just my opinion. Hey, what's going on everyone? Thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review For the predator. I really do appreciate it So I'm gonna be honest with you when I first saw the trailer for this movie a number of months ago You can go check out my reaction. I was not too impressed with the trailer I was kind of saying to myself. Oh, you know, I like the last predator movie predators movie that came out in 2010 What Adrian Brody, but it wasn't all that but you know It seems kind of early for them to be doing another predator movie And then you had like the little boy with the spaceship in his room and that's what was bringing the ship I just really wasn't feeling it at all and the second trailer came out I'm just like, okay, this movie is gonna just come and pass me by But that third and last final red band treasure that released a number of weeks ago That's what really got me hype about this movie. And then when I started paying more attention to it Realizing that Shane black directed it Shane black also start in the original predators movie. That was in 1987 we're on a Schwarzenegger, but yeah, Shane black. He did kiss kiss get bang bang He is the writer and director of this franchise. He also did Iron Man 3 which I have right here Which I was a little bit disappointed about but Shane black is a great director in my opinion he's also a great actor and Like I said, this is this is not a remake or reboot This is a sequel to all of the Predators films even the one in 2010 with Adrian Brody Which I have right here as far as my knowledge of the predators I've seen the first when they came out in 87. I do I don't think I've seen the second one I think Donald Glover or Danny that's Donald Danny Glover's and now I think and I haven't seen I could have looked it up But of course I've seen predators right here and which came out in 2010 and then this one follows up So this is a sequel to all of those. This is all still in the same Universe and of course at the end of this review I'm gonna talk about you know where this the Predators movie stands with all the rest But one of the first things that I do want to talk about is the cast There's one of the things that I really did love about this movie the cast from beginning to end top to bottom left and right And all in between is fantastic You know all the men are great all the women are great and the children are great too first child I want to talk to is really the only child is Jacob Tremblay. He I don't even I want to call him a lead Well, he's not the lead actor in this film But he is one of the main cast members and I really did like him, you know, he had He was autistic and you know, some people kind of look at that as a disorder while other people Look at that as like, you know, you're like the next genius You're like the next level of human evolution and I really do like how the film kind of used that to kind of tell the story in this movie Another actor that I really do like in this film is we got Thomas Jane in here. He was the predator We have Olivia Munn. She was a Psylocke in X-Men Apocalypse which came out a couple of years ago. I was disappointed about that Sterling K. Brown is in this from Black Panther and He was also in Hotel Artemis early this year You know, it took me a while to get on board with his character because he was just so arrogant and cocky But at the same time like about the midpoint of the film I kind of was like, you know Even though this is possibly not a guy that I would hang out with and just kind of like just like dude Shut the hell up. You know, I'm saying I still liked him. He was a likable a-hole He was a likable asshole and that's just kind of weird to me You know how somebody can just be portrayed like that, but I just still liked him That just goes to the great writing in this movie Another great cast member is Keegan Michael Key. When I saw the trailers for this movie I was just like dude like I just could tell that he was gonna annoy me and he's just like, oh This guy is crazy. I'm all about yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck. Just just I thought it's gonna be over the top But no, he his character really did fit well with the movie I liked him a lot and I saw somebody I want to mention is Chavante Rose he played a character by the name of Nebraska Williams and He was in moonlight as well, and I really did I really did like him now And I'm talking about how I'm liking the characters a number of them. There was a boy Holbrook who played the the main lead? I guess you can say his name in the film was Quinn McKenna He is really the only person that I liked at the very beginning of the film Everybody else that I kind of just named besides Olivia Marks. I liked her too at the very beginning too Everybody else kind of had to grow on me They really didn't seem like they were actually playing real roles I actually felt like they were in a movie playing a role like, you know, hello I'm acting and I'm reading my lines right here and that's just the script so You know, that's just kind of like what it seemed like to me It just wasn't flowing or whatever but as I got more into the film, you know I was just like, you know, I really do like this group of guys You know, they're great and they're fun and the film is fun It is not film that you don't need to take seriously I don't even think that was the aim of the director when he was writing the script, which is funny because he when he directed Iron Man 3 which I don't know why every time I say the move I gotta pull it out But when he directed Iron Man 3 which six was successful and made what 1.2 billion dollars He said that 21st century Fox approached him and was like, hey, man, we really like what you did with Iron Man 3 We want to give you the same budget that Iron Man 3 and apply that to the predators And matter of fact, let me try to look up the budget for this film real quick Well, while I was Trying to prepare for this review. I knew that there was something that I was forgetting But I just want to look at it real quick because I think It's very important for what I'm having to say right now. What you gotta be okay Yeah, I'm they showed the budget for the 1987 movie. Okay. I'm like, this is no there ain't no way in hell This movie was this cheap. Okay, so let me 18 million dollars. Let's see what the production budget Okay. Well, I don't know. It's not there. Let me just check one month spot real quick guys. I don't mind being patient with me real quick Because it's just that important and if I can't find it, you know, I'll Talk about it some other time. Okay. Here we go the predator. I'm at the numbers calm Why'd I got so many dang advertisements popping up? Okay, and they don't got no type of information at all But that's okay. So they came to him and was like, hey man, we want to give you this money You know I'm saying we like what you did with Iron Man 3. He was like, okay, cool I'm down. You know I'm saying and I can't I cannot blame him for that So when he was talking to 20 century Fox, he was like, look, I don't want no PG-13 movie I want the film to be all rated just like the first film and the first film was all rated And so, you know, that's just a great thing He was also talking about how he hates when the films have to water it down kind of like he was watching the grudge in 2004 which is a knockoff or remake of the Juno or I don't know the Japanese name for it over there is very scary But over here we have to water things down and no he did not hold any punches This is a very violent movie people do get their heads blown off and scores ripped out and spies and Shot in the feet with bullets and grenades and plasma weapons and tranquilizers and nets and One of the people in there had like a little spear with I ain't I ain't gonna say that because I don't want to spoil it for you But the weapons in this thing were vast and they were badass That's all you need to know going in because you gonna have you a good all-time. So Something else I was what I really do like about the family Is it just really didn't waste any time because we already know what predator is We've seen predator one two and predators and alien versus predator and things like that So it's not like, you know when they land or you come into a contact with the alien It's like oh my gosh, this proves that we're not the only ones in the universe, you know No, no, we we already got bases and establishments and corridors over here And they all already know what the deal is and as soon as they touch down it's going down And that's just great right there because this film is only one hour and about 47 minutes And another thing that's significant about that is that holds a tradition of all the predator films of how they are around like 147 minutes, but I think that predator to when I was looking on some information It's like the only film that made it over like one hour and 48 minutes But anyway, I just said all that to say usually, you know Like the shortest film is about like 90 minutes, you know a hundred hour and a half But this is like 15 17 minutes longer and they were able to squeeze a lot of Material in that short period of time because the film has a lot of different territories You know I'm saying and I'm kind of just saying this right here at this point that I wanted to say for the end But I really can't help myself is is that I was so satisfied with what I was seeing in this movie That I don't even need to see a grand finale I don't even need to see a third act You know I'm saying and the only other film that I can think of at the top of my head that don't anything like that was man The steel Because I still feel that man is still not the best comic book movie ever not that my most favorite But it still has some of the best action Period that that's fight at the end was in a zoo general Zod and all the other Kryptonias that this man That was just that's top notch for me right there and in that movie. I was like Before they went to space. I was like shit. You know I'm saying I don't have enough You know I'm saying I love a comic book ahead You know I'm saying and then when they was doing all that and that movie man still it was okay This is a whole bunch more but like in the second actor with all the action I was satisfied and there another great just about the story and the way this is really with the pot I had no idea how this thing was gonna end and you had so many different groups and factions like this group of people Over here and these good people over here But then you got this predator right here and then surely then you got the a4 predators looking like he coming out of a page of David and Goliath but predator style, you know, I'm just like you like who is on whose team who's the good guy Who's the bad guy? I mean you have a good sense of that, but at the same time, it's just like we're not whoa I just don't know what to expect I don't know who is supposed to be teaming over who and like the thing about it is all the characters in this movie Smart ain't nobody done. You know, I'm saying I just got could done complaining about the nun They came out last week and how you did it with just the characters name if Go to the filmography at the none on IMDB. You're gonna look at the real actor's name And next time it's gonna say stupid character one stupid character to stupid character three That's not the case with this film right here. Damn today. I'm little boy The little boy that's supposed to be annoying the you know kiss always annoying good Oh Stopping in the middle street with dinner here like no he the one the smartest dude the super autistic guy I mean everybody even the crazy people were Often to say funny and they were everybody was smart in this movement I like how they think together and you got this rag-tab group of people that are crazy They can fight their ass off. It's like they've been teaming up together for like the longest You know I'm saying like some super power ranger army rangers or something like for real like and it was like Authentic like I believed it. I was okay It's just it's just great writing in this story. I mean they shit He just did a great job because you got this group of people that or they don't know each other But they just have like they just own cold. You know I'm saying like they just know you know I'm saying like you just You know when you know, so you know I'm saying like okay, you know I'm saying you know how we do You know I'm saying like we can just kind of just look at somebody and give them like a little nod and we didn't You know like a little winking little head nod come in like 76 different words, you know I'm saying you know what I'm talking about and this is how they was in this movie like when they was fighting the predators I'm just like dang like like I can y'all tell I'm gonna buy this movie and I really did like a lot Okay, let me uh, let's see now another great thing about I got a whole little thing of notes Right here another great thing a lot is just the environment right because the first film you in the middle of nowhere The jungle wherever you were you out there and that's that's cool I'm nice with the scenery and then with the other predator film right here you in the jungle too now and Predator two from what I remember. I think they were in the city. I gotta go back and watch it. I heard it was wet But this right here is not in the jungle is not in the city It's in a suburban area. You know I'm saying so that's just just kind of like a different perspective that you just wouldn't think You know, you know junk you hiding around they got camouflaged But no this isn't like a suburban area So that just creates another great experience just seemed like a predator from out of space, you know running around jumping on houses and swim pools and Things like that. So what what else we got here? It didn't waste no time the environment love. I'm not in I'm never knowing what to expect the movie was funny as hell Like it was like one of the hardest things in the movie to me is combining serious moments and comedy, you know Marvel has I like Marvel comic films a lot They they it's kind of hit or miss with them, you know, sometimes like what I'm trying to say Okay, you seen you seen iron. No, you seen Avengers that came out in 2012 remember when the Hulk and Thor were on the On the Leviathan monster thing and they they knocked it out or whatever And then they landed in and somewhere in New York and they were just kind of sitting there Like, yeah, we just whoops some ass and then Hulk punch Thor and he flew over like that serious moment But funny, but it worked, you know, I'm saying That that I will give another example of how that doesn't work But I feel like I'm kind of taking too long But in this film here, there are some serious moments and comedic moments Melded in together that just works very very well and the movie is funny It's like, you know shame like I can just contest like they probably okay shame We want to do this and we want to do that. What do you think? Like guys guys guys know he's throwing the paper in the face like I'm just trying to have some fun Like, you know, we can have a little serious tone too, but no, this is this movie for real This is kind of like a lot of cowboy bebop rah rah rah, you know, go save him today Type of movie and that's cool And the film even makes fun of itself because you know when somebody's always trying to give some type of motivation The speech and we have to fight because we have to win and we're not gonna bend over blah blah blah They're like, yeah, you know, let's try to do that in this movie and I'm not gonna say what happened But it was funny, you know, I'm saying and I laugh so That is that now I talk did I talk about the action the action was great I don't even think I talked about the action And that's probably the main thing that you want to go see and I mean I really like the characters Also, they will have some touching moments between a father and a son and also between some two crazy people Because you actually cared about them it was a Keegan-Michael Key and this other guy with Tourette's Oh and the reason why Shane Black wrote the character with Tourette's because Shane Black has Tourette and Tourette's syndrome in real life I don't even know that so just kind of fascinated, you know kind of how Well, I was about to say a curse, but excuse me. That is disrespectful. It's not a curse I don't I don't walk that life. So I don't know you're beautiful how you was born I think you get what I'm trying to say it. But anyway The character interactions, it wasn't just them bouncing off of each other that the the film actually took time a few moments to slow down and You know kind of let you just kind of you know, let you get to know these characters Even though they're bickering and fighting deep down I really do love each other you know I'm saying that was deep to me and very surprising in a Predator film like this the people to die a lot of people went out like a G You know I'm saying that was like hey, you know if I'm done. I'm taking somebody with me You know and I'm down for stuff like that, but let's see what else we got Yeah, I talked about pretty much everything guys, I mean, this was just a great tone This is something that I am really going to be buying on 4k. I don't even say bluer I'm gonna be buying this on 4k. My only gripe is this My only gripe is this now towards the end of the film when they kind of revealed one of the the plot in the Story fully revealed itself Fully revealed itself. I kind of think I sensed a little plot hole I was like, okay. I like where you was going with this, but if this was your objective the whole time Why did you go and waste these other people over here? You know I'm saying and I may have even said too much. I don't want to spoil anything for you But the movie is freaking fantastic. I really enjoyed it It is better than this movie right here predators it is better than this I will give you that I'm just gonna go ahead and say it's better than the 1990s version as well Even though I haven't seen it man that may be not be fair So I'm kind of just joking around is it better than the first one in 1987. I don't know I have to go back and watch that one and Yeah, I was about to say that this movie was so good that it's making me want to go buy the previous 3 on 4k But I don't think I want to do that But I definitely do want to see this movie again And this film leaves room for more sequels too, you know, it really does and I will be highly disappointed I gotta find the budget for this thing But I'll be highly disappointed if it does not make bank at the box office because it really just it does deserve it And this is smart too because this could have been a summer release But it wasn't and it is right at the beginning of the fall man What is the budget for this movie? I? Want to know If you know the budget for this film, please let me know what maybe maybe it is a Maybe it's on this page and it is not Well, that's unfortunate. Let me see if this thing is on right tomatoes real quick. I'm just curious It's this review going on. Oh, hell no. I don't know what they tripping on how many people review with this thing We got 30 reviews 15 like the 15 didn't well Hey, I'm one of the people to like the guys if I had to rate the predator out of a one out of ten damn, I Would give it a nine out of ten. The only thing is I really want to No, hello Because I think I've been great and kind of easy lately as well to be honest with you I'm gonna give it a nine out of ten I'm gonna give it a nine out of ten because when I'm thinking about that plot hole It's not a big plot hole, but it's just kind of I don't know But I'm gonna give it a nine out of ten confidently given this film a nine out of ten But guys I said all that before in the end You know, this is just my opinion. Okay, what did you think? Have you seen the predator yet or do you want to see it? How about turns you on how about turns you off do you agree with me or do you disagree with me?
