 What's going on guys welcome to a brand new movie review today. I'm discussing Shane Black's new film the Predator This is a continuation of the whole Predator series that we've seen and my journey to the Predator finally ends here I can't about this brand new one now. I was really excited about this film one. You got Shane Black on board I love the nice guys love love love kiss kiss bang bang and I really enjoy Iron Man 3 But this is what I'm saying. He got signed on this film. I was pumped I'm a huge Predator fan the original Predator is one of my favorite action films of all time so you could say I was a little hyped about this movie and This film delivers in some parts and doesn't deliver in other parts which we'll get to be honest I'm very much in the middle of the road for this film. I don't think it's the best film And I don't think it's the worst film There's certainly a lot of issues with this movie that I will dive into what is the story of this brand new Predator turns out Boyd Holbrook plays as Sniper in this little elite group and as he's on a mission a Predatorship crashes He gets entwined with this predator turns out this predators running away from a bigger predator and Stuff ensues within a suburban neighborhood. His family gets entied into this He meets a brand new ragtag group of crazy people. They call themselves the loonies and Olivia Monza scientist Really is no story for this movie and that's what I'm saying It's because it's all over the place in that part Which is one of my big cons for this movie But again going to things that I loved about this movie before I totally kind of get to the things I didn't like I love the character dynamics between all these characters There's a motel scene in here that I was laughing and smiling year to year And I was pretty much smiling throughout the whole entire film until really the third act But everything from the beginning to the middle I was really on board with the character dynamics They're dynamics going back and forth and just Keegan Michael Keese funny. He's great Thomas Jane steals a lot of the great scenes in here and you got to go to Boyd Holbrook He was great in Logan and he's fantastic in here gives a good solid performance nothing like special But it shows me that this guy can be a leading man It was nice to see that and even Olivia Munn got some spunk to her and I liked her charming self in here She did do more than what I think she initially does in the last few roles She's been in but I liked her as I'd be dishonored not to talk about Sterling K Brown He was great in here as well can the guy be like an every single thing that comes out And Jacob Tremblay's in here the kid from room and he is also pretty good in here I thought he was gonna get a bit annoying, but he doesn't there's some story developments with his character that I thought were Didn't work a hundred percent for me But at the same time I thought it was pretty intriguing on how they explained it if these characters You don't seem to just care about them, but you actually enjoy being around them You know it's this is the pretty much the closest thing that will come to the original Predator This film feels like a 1980s film It feels that in so many ways the second the film opens to the second the film ends It feels like something that what it came out in the 80s and in a sense even though we've had sequels to the original Predator This feels like the most direct one some of the callbacks in this film kind of directing to the first one And even the score being heavily influenced by the very first one some elements in there that I really did enjoy with That man. Oh man the action in here is brutal. It's gruesome and gory and it's awesome Like I loved all the action sequences in here Just the way that the Predators move around this big elite predator that we get to see now is awesome You see him shanking people you see him doing all types of things blowing up people Just he is a ruthless killer and seen both these types of predators fight and the different kind of dynamics that these Characters had the action sequences were very much filmed great and that is one of my big things It's entertaining popcorn fun as much fun as I can have with this film because I did certainly enjoy myself watching this movie I found myself going wait how'd that happen wait what happened there wait that person just died and I felt myself Getting a little bit confused and I didn't be getting confused during an action film I should be able to just enjoy the film for what it is and I was I was entertained But I have my issues with this because the editing is a little bit choppy Which also hurts the story there's a whole part kind of 35 45 percent into the movie That feels like it's missing a whole layer of the story development Where it just jumps and you're like oh where they're wait how'd they get that or where'd they get that from and How do they know this and there's a couple moments where it's like that where it feels like it just got choppy It's like okay. We skipped ahead it never felt like it was choppy and how it looked But it always felt like it was through the pacing not feeling seamless It's never really a dull moment It was just touchy off guard It's one of the things that really bugged me in this movie and I sat there and I was sitting there and they started bugging me Consistently and yes, I get it. This is a film you turn off your brain you watch and my brain was turned off for a majority of this Movie I was having fun with it But in a sense, you know you look at Fast and Furious or you look at other types of action films like that where people tell you Oh turn off your brain sit down watch the film. You're gonna enjoy it. I can do that But when the story doesn't feel seamless That's when I started to get a little bit bugged Fast and Furious seamless total way through Yeah, you have to turn off your brain for some of the stupid things that happens But you still get it There's still a seamless story same with the Meg that came out earlier this year dumb dumb dumb stuff in there But seamless throughout there's never something that confuses you you know what's going on That's real predator kind of missed the mark for me You know this film is very much feeling like a 1980s film, and I love the feel of that. It's 2018 I kind of want a little bit more in Today's era type of feel fine to mix some stuff in from the 80s, but the same time you kind of want that feel Yeah, there's some awesome banter in here. It's shame blacks writing the film feels like a shame black film It's awesome in that category. You laugh you smile You have some great moments with the action kick and ass with the predator And I wanted to see more predator. I was kind of disappointed. We didn't get more of them There was some great character dynamics between all the characters and I did really enjoy each and every one of them There wasn't one that ever bugged me and annoying me each one kind of brought their own little spaz or spunk to their character And I like what each character did there's one more thing that did really bug me about this film Which is the ending and I'm not gonna spoil what it is because that's not fair to you guys You guys would just have to check out the film for yourself and tell me what you guys think about it I just felt like the ending was very Shoot in in a sense to yeah, we're setting up a sequel absolutely hate when films just Push it right in your face like hey, we have sequel plans right here I don't exactly know how I feel about it But it just felt really abrupt and how they introduced it and I felt like it would have been better to introduce it in Just a whole new film and I just end this film on a better note with all that said I'm gonna give the predator a sea Certainly in the middle on this film. I really loved some parts I really didn't dislike some parts not a bad film I'll end up probably buying it when it's a little bit cheaper just so I have the whole collection But tell me guys where do you guys thoughts on the predator?
