Logged in after years just to rate this movie You get in the cinema and there it goes. I didn't expect something brilliant, I mean it's an action movie. The movie opened fine, but as it went my brain took a lot of hits and at the end the feeling was that it was just complete trash. Let me make a list:
What I liked about the movie:
1. Ragtag team of comical and actually well developed characters - this was the highlight of the movie, i.e. the one thing they did right. The group was funny and they actually added depth to those characters and maybe you even cared for them a little bit. Good acting on their part.
Yeah that was it...
What I disliked about the movie:
1. Swearing just for the sake of swearing. When you can't make a good joke so you just throw a bunch of f-words at the viewers. Real classy. Maybe kids or idiots like that, I wouldn't know.
2. Things that make no sense - so the main plot really makes very little sense, but that wasn't the only thing, oh not even close...
3. Main characters are shallow and very poorly written - the main character was seriously badly written, the dialogue with his son, dear god... His son kills more innocent people than most characters in the movie and is totally okay with it, and all this after they tried to picture the boy like this fragile creature who suffers from bullies because of being different. The female scientist character also follows the main character along those lines. Main bad guy also, horrible role. Not to say these actors were bad, but their roles were horrible.
4. 0 suspense and crappy jokes all the way - the movie really fails to make viewers care about what is going to happen next and generally about the characters. What little suspense they create, they manage to dillute with badly-placed crappy jokes.
5. I'm going to bed soon so I'm gonna stop there.
In conclusion, this is a unworthy successor of the Predator franchise. Totally ruins it. Makes you feel cringe and saying to yourself "What the f is this?" throughout the movie. Whoever wrote this script and directed this, should not make movies any more. However, after you read this and your expectations are really lowered, you might slightly like the movie, so there's that.
