"Predator" itself is a big IP. If it is played well, it can gain a large number of fans and feelings, and contribute to the follow-up of the series. If it does not play well, it will destroy the entire series.
In my opinion, this year's remake of "Predator 2018" is a complete mess. First of all, in terms of characterization, there are no prominent characters set up in front of us, as if the characters from several movies are put together here, the male protagonist looks righteous and awe-inspiring, and in the end, for the sake of Is it really a good father to save his son and kill others? As for the mother, the mother's personality is exactly the same as the father's, and she wants to pretend to be masculine but doesn't. There is nothing to do. significance. There are also a group of his teammates who are cheating, probably because they were afraid that the audience would not see that the male protagonist was a normal person. Finally, I want to talk about the heroine. The director may want to create a person who likes to do research to the point where he is not crazy and can't survive. Whenever he sees something strange, he immediately says to take a sample and go back to study. Please, you have to find out the current situation. , you must first have a life in doing research... So, the director's role in character modeling is a breakdown.
Let's talk about the plot, I still can't figure it out. At the end of the movie, it said that a generation of Predator came to the earth with no ill will, but why is the movie already open, the Predator hangs a soldier's intestines upside down on a tree, this is not a problem Is it malicious? Just because he was afraid that the male protagonist would tell a secret, he was imprisoned in a mental hospital as a mental illness? Also, the Predator seems to be very kind to women. The entire laboratory was slaughtered, but the female protagonist was unscathed. Came out... After killing the two policemen at the man's house, the Predator ignored the man's wife. . . In the fight at the end, the Predator can be described as one claws to those little soldiers. Killing someone is like eating cabbage, but when it comes to PK with the male protagonist, he grabs him and throws him around, throwing him around, I really want to ask , what about your claws? The male protagonist can stand up unscathed and continue to work with the Predator even after being thrown a few meters away. I was stunned and speechless.
Finally, let’s talk about the layout. The world view of the “Predator” series itself is not small, and it can even compete with the “Heterosexual” series. However, through the remakes of “Predator” generation after generation, the layout is constantly shrinking, and the latest one has been It has become a single plot mode such as "monsters invaded the earth, humans fight with monsters, and humans finally win", which does not discuss the core and values of the Predator at all, which is also the failure of the entire film, making the film completely For the popcorn series, while earning enough box office, it also lost word of mouth, becoming another ip series movie that is completely inclined to commercial movies. The director transplanted his style from Marvel to "The Predator", resulting in nondescript and unacceptable film reviews. , It's really inappropriate, this series itself has the same serious atmosphere as Alien, and the little humor interspersed in it not only has little effect in this film, but also easily leads the audience to the side.
Another important shortcoming of this film I want to say is that there are too many words. The line of human beings occupies most of the whole film, but there is no conflict or contradiction inside. The plot goes on smoothly without any hesitation.
Finally, I want to talk about the easter egg at the end that I don't know if it is an easter egg or not. It really made me sad after seeing it. I really want to say that one of the major reasons for the "Predator" series to go on is his spirit. The core, not the appearance, is that no matter how cool the appearance is, the lack of the core will not restore fans. (And, why help the male protagonist to make the Predator suit? This is simply an insult to the Predator).
