    The Predator

    ★★½

    Finally a Predator movie that’s going for something different. Everything else that came after the first one is so uninspired and repetitive. It’s not these extraterrestrial hunters themselves that are interesting, it’s how they affect the people dealing with them… at least in the original Predator.

When our protagonist, a small-time crook and thief trying to live an honest life, gets mixed up with this soldier…

    One of the biggest cinematic disappointments I've ever experienced in my life. With an average rating of 4.0 I thought it'd be a safe bet that I like this movie, but the reality couldn't be further away from that.

    About 23 minutes in I wished it would end, but it just kept going on for what felt like an eternity. The set-pieces and costumes look like a one-to-one copy from 1984 and the like. The first half of the movie…
