The name Predator is actually very interesting. Originally, the official English name was Predator, which literally translates to Predator and Predator.
But for the domestic importers at the beginning, no one would see the name directly.
But Arnold Schwarzenegger , the star of the film at the time, was well known. He was the Terminator, the Invincible Iron King, the strongest among the people on earth. Everyone knew that!
So they simply changed the original meaning of their name, from monster to Arno, and then there was this Predator.
But it turns out that there is no Arnold in the second part, what can I do?
Serious sequel, you can't change your name, can you? Then keep calling it that.
By accident, the name of the Predator was deducted from this group of alien predators. What's more interesting is that later, because of a messy linkage, the Predator and the alien were firmly bound.
Many viewers firmly believe that these two live in the same universe. In fact, according to the original setting of Ridley Scott's original Alien, Alien vs. Predator is pure nonsense.
But who the hell cares! Watch this movie and it's over !
Coolness has always been the highest demand, or even the only demand, for such monster films.
The needs of the audience are very simple, you show me monsters abuse people, people abuse monsters, I will give you money.
However, this time the new Predator (the orthodox sequel) is really unpleasant!
Full spoiler!

Let’s talk about the things worth bragging about first . I believe that even viewers who haven’t watched the first few films can know that after watching this film, the Predator is a highly intelligent creature. Unlike those ordinary monsters, they are very smart. Can communicate with humans.
Therefore, they should not be low-level pure killing machines. This kind of pure B-level setting must be abandoned if it is to be A-level, so what do A-level blockbusters need?
It is a universal value, and the more universal it is, the more the audience can accept it. Therefore, there is the emergence of this iron-blooded traitor with great love and single-mindedness for mankind.
However, this setting did not satisfy the audience.
The film doesn't leave much space for this aspect of the story, how did the human race end, how did he know it, what measures he took, and the human race knew what measures to take, but nothing!
Most of the time in the film is the gags and unremarkable fights of the protagonist squads-obviously, these commercial elements are indispensable to this film.
Therefore, in this movie, there is not much room for digging in the plot, and the last theme is just a reason for causing trouble.
Therefore, our praise for the director's idea can only stop at: ah, ha, it's a good idea for a young man to have this idea (please read it in the tone of old Fu Ming)
But the director's other part of the idea is worth criticizing, and I don't know if Fox forced it or his mother forced it.
This film has not been made by himself, but he wants to create a universe - does the director really think that the high box office of Iron Man 3 is his own credit?
Even Marvel didn't dare to put a story line that was not officially introduced into the feature film to dig a hole. In those days, regardless of whether it was the Hulk or Iron Man, the digging of the universe was almost always Easter eggs, and the entire ending of this film took a few minutes. things are just put there.
This is irresponsible, what are you trying to do with an anti-predator armor? You don't care about the destruction of the earth that was promised?
As for the director's biggest slot, it may directly point to the problem of his directing ability.
I don't know if you feel it when you watch it, this movie is sleepy and can't be ignited at all, or it feels like they are rehearsing for a play, it's not because of poor acting, but it's just the feeling, play, get out of the way , "not serious enough".
What impressed me the most was the scene where the protagonist team fought against the big Jagged Blood for the first time. There was a car chase, a gunfight, and a chase. The background music sounded like the same thing, but the mood was completely unbearable.
It doesn't seem to matter much before and after each edit. Whether it's mood or story, the scene scheduling often feels messy.
Especially when the protagonists are playing tricks and teasing, the whole scene is completely messed up - it shouldn't be, is there less such scenes in Marvel movies? But why is the rhythm so good?
This kind of sloppy mouth is even more disastrous when it is put into the gap between the battles. Marvel’s side is the audience’s breathing rhythm, nervous, relaxed, nervous, relaxed, the audience is not tired, the emotions can also be brought up, and they can also laugh along ( Of course, the better one is Mission Impossible)
But on their side, once they are sloppy, if the paragraph is not so funny anymore, it is really:
all! part! Cross! Lose!
But even so, the biggest highlight of this film should be this group of people-because they are the only commercial elements.
But these buddies were too tiger when they took turns to sacrifice at the end...
Originally, they were all problem people, and they had no lofty ideals. Fighting for mankind is already ridiculous, and it is necessary to sacrifice and pay tribute. The male protagonist pulls the furoshiki to introduce them to his son one by one. This picture is really a bit too funny, a bit forced It means to pull towards positive energy.
If this is also for universal values, the director's understanding of universal values may be a little too shallow...
looking into the distance
" Dad, will no one remember them? "
" We will. "
Enough is enough, more artistic! Omg, I'm going to be fascinated by myself.
You said, did Fox think about it too, anyway, in the end, it was all messed up.
" Anyway, the game will be closed and sold to Tencent tomorrow. Today, I still maintain a hair and don't go to work! " ← This feeling.
I suddenly remembered that if we follow the logic of Zhang Beihai in the Three-Body Problem, it can be said that the Predator can be regarded as helping mankind continue the fire, right?
So do we have to help them and get rid of the iron traitors together?
