Doomsday of the Predator~

I didn't hold out much hope for this movie, but after watching it, it really happened. The director vowed to make a predator that is better and more savage than AVP, but what came out was a so-called hodgepodge. The first ten minutes were still very attractive. Warriors of all shapes and sizes were traversed to the hunting grounds, making people sweat for them and wondering what kind of novelty the new Jagged Blood would use to carry out this hunt. Until the death of the acid-faced "Scimitar", the film is still very catchy and maintains tension. The biggest highlight is the scene where everyone sees the alien sky on the top of the mountain. However, it took a sharp turn afterward and completely screwed up the film~~


In a commercial film of less than two hours, it is undoubtedly unwise to have too many characters. On the one hand, you have to develop in limited time and space. The plot, on the other hand, has to sort out the relationships of the characters, lay out the clues, and even leave a part of the film for special effects and fights. There are already a lot of characters on the scene, but in the middle of it, he made a cameo from the big old black of the Matrix. This makes the space that is not rich enough in itself even worse. All kinds of characters and clues gathered together, and none of them were sorted out. As a result, the climax part has no room to expand, and it is almost unfinished. From the beginning to the end, the main point of the film—the hunting and anti-hunting that should have been brilliant was not reflected at all, let alone brilliant.


Worst of all, the "New Jagged Blood" we were looking forward to was exactly what Da Lao Hei said: it was an out-and-out "Big Stupid". It's not even as exciting as the Jagged Blood in AVP. In this movie, we didn't see the heroic style of Jagged Blood at all, what we saw were alien monsters that only BIUBIUBIU shot everywhere; we didn't see "Hunter", what we saw was only brainless chases and bluffs Slag slag ~ those iron-blooded signs, cool enough equipment was reduced to only the shoulder gun watch and Wolverine's middle finger. Is this still a Predator movie? It is rude to say that in the Jagged series, this one has the worst portrayal of Jagged, even worse than the second. The director who ridiculed AVP turned P into a P~ and it was the kind that was neither fragrant nor smelly. I think this time it's the AVP director's turn to laugh at him~


The director wastes a lot of pen and ink trying to find new ideas in the root of human nature, but forgets who is the pig's foot in the movie. After all, this is a commercial film, not an alien art film, isn't it? He used all kinds of analogies to tangle to the end, but he still wanted to return to the Predator himself, pretending to tell a mysterious story. It's a pity that Brady is the actor. Except for Brady's performance, which is still worth watching, there are few bright spots in the rest. Some are just bad fights and all kinds of bad plots. Some people say that the plot of this film is not good because I don't understand it, but I roughly read the film reviews that I thought I understood. I just want to say one thing, this terrific director is not Lu Xun, and we are not elementary school students in the classroom who cling to words and decipher the central idea. Self-deception can't reverse the fact that this is a big bad movie.


The most ridiculous interpretation in the film is the decisive battle between Jagged Blood and Darkness. The only contribution of this bad fight is - to leave us with the most ridiculous contrast: Jagged can be hacked to death by a sun-dark katana, but is bombarded by dozens of grenades and left unscathed, by Brody's burning axe. With the sniping and the heroine's sniping, he finally fell to the ground. I think this samurai sword should be an artifact of the demon sword Muramasa. The director wanted to show the invincibility of the sword, so he used such a nonsensical comparison method to interpret it. For such a director of rapeseed, I think at least in a short time, there will be no follow-up to the new Predator. His talent is not enough to continue to give investors confidence, but prematurely pushed the iron blood to the end.

Predators quotes

  • [they all see the strung up Predator]

    Stans: What the fuck is that thing?

    Isabelle: This is a mistake. We have to leave. Now.

    Edwin: [about Royce] Where's the tough guy?

    Isabelle: He left us.

    Mombasa: It's here.

  • Isabelle: You put us at risk yourself. You want to be on your own, you got it.

    Royce: Why don't you tell them the truth?

    Isabelle: I don't know what you're talking about.

    Royce: You know what I'm talking about. The way you looked at that thing that was strung up, the way you reacted. She knows what it is. Don't you?

    Isabelle: We don't have a name for them. '87, Guatemala. A spec ops team went into the jungle. High end. Six men plus a CIA liaison. Only one made it out. In his debrief, he said they came in contact with something. He gave a detailed description. The thing on the totem. It wore some kind of camouflage that adjusted to ambient light. Made it nearly invisible in our spectrum. It could see in infrared. Heat signatures. He used mud to block his. That's how he beat it. It hunted and killed his team, one by one.

    Royce: Whatever it is, wherever they're from, we're going to kill them all. We set up a defensive perimeter. Make it look like we are holing up. That'll bring them to us. We force them into a choke point. We get them in overlapping fields of fire. It can be done. I can't do it alone.
