"Predator The Predator" 2018 The first thing I want to say is that viewers who have seen the Predator must know what kind of species this alien creature belongs to. For me personally, the predator is specifically looking for some brave and militant aliens who can compete with it. From the birth of "Predator" in 1988 until now, even though one is worse than the other, it still has accumulated a group of loyal fans of Predator all over the world. With the launch of this latest "Predator" trailer, people are relatively looking forward to this new work. In addition, in the trailer, I also saw a fragment of the same kind that is higher than the predator. And this time the director is Shane Black, who has directed "Iron Man 3". And the director’s movies often have a typical humorous style, so in the movie you can see a little funny plot in the plot. It can also be said that humor is Shann Blake’s own directing style. But for the movie "Predator", it was suddenly caught in a mixed and embarrassing situation. Perhaps on the one hand, this can be said to be a major breakthrough point for this series, which will help increase the audience’s goodwill towards Shen Ying and this It's a bit of acceptance of non-mainstream themes. But on the other hand, as a monster violent bloody thriller like "Predator", if the funny part is not handled properly, the humorous element will undoubtedly weaken the film's thriller element. It is precisely the latter situation in the movie, which makes the movie completely without a sense of crisis. What is ridiculous is that the previous scene is a scene of fighting and killing, and the next scene suddenly comes with a funny scene, which really makes the scene. People feel quite abrupt and uncoordinated. Although in this "Predator", the classic predator still appears in that classic image, with shoulder cannons and arm knives all over the body, all equipped with various weapons one by one. However, it is a pity that when such a classic predator met the latest giant predator, the director actually wiped out the full combat power of the past and the spirit of not surrendering if he was defeated. Instead, let this classic The monster character and the giant predator were completely weak to explosive in the fight, which made me personally disappointed and completely destroyed my personal perception of this movie. In fact, the biggest selling point of the movie is that although this new version of the giant predator has various high-end advantages, it does not have the kind of eye-catching performance in the movie, especially at the end of the fight against the hero and the hero. In the process, it was sloppy and easily defeated, so simply speaking, this giant version of the predator was reduced to an enlarged version that was inferior to a classic predator. On the whole, the film "Predator" will be handled better in the first half, but it is a pity that the plot in the second half ended up quite badly, making the movie have a completely weak ending. If you want to say where the beauty is, I can only say that the bloody scenes in the film this time really haven't been fragmented by the electrical inspection bureau. Even so, I still feel quite disappointed with this new work. ★★Half
