I finally set down to watch 'The Predator' as it was on my list, but I never got around to it. I got annoyed with the main lead early, as he was trying to hard to be a badass, but it reminded me of something. Then there was the kid that should have no place in a serious Predator movie, and I couldn't remember where I've seen him before. However, it wasn't until the busscene where you meet the rest of the ensemble cast, that I realized: I have seen this movie before. A whopping 21 minutes into the movie before I realized I had friggin seen the whole movie before. That is how little impact it had on me after watching it the first time. I think I had just blocked the memory of it all.
Even though Predators wasn't a good movie, it was more in style with the originals. It also had a bad lead, but at least it was dirty, and gritty. This movie...Shiny spaceships, superfancy transformer weaponry. Coming up with an even bigger predator...Ugh, I would've been okay with it if it wasn't a Predator movie, because, that is actually what it feels like: a generic crappy monster movie. Unfortunately, it is from a much beloved franchise that I used to watch as a kid.
Go watch Prey for a much better new predator experience.
