From a B-grade that doesn't look like a B-grade film to a B-grade film that looks a lot like a B-grade film

I watched "Predator 2018" last night. When the US emperors missed the same time, the B-level films are not as good as you want to make. They are blind with such a good theme and plot setting. This director is a stink. Stupid, no wonder "Iron Man 3" looks so uncomfortable. I thought it was because of the forced insertion of Chinese elements. Now it seems that it is entirely the director's problem.

"Predator 2018" has a large number of stalks that pay tribute to the first one, such as jungle hunting, veterans' counter-killing, live skinning and hanging, beheading and bone breaking, etc., but the use of chaos is so confusing that many old fans lose their appetites , These stalks are very similar in narrative arrangement to the cold jokes that the director played in the first play. Looking at it, I want to curse the alien and peel it again to relieve the hatred!

The first Predator has a compact plot, smooth narrative, twists and turns, climaxes, strong cast, wonderful special effects gimmicks, shocking and refreshing three views. It is a B-grade film that is not like a B-grade film; and this so-called reboot Predator, on the other hand, is a B-level film that is very similar to a B-level film. However, the content is very American, and the evil energy overflows. The protagonist's team is very American. A bunch of veterans with stress disorders have different ideas from normal people, and they have no scruples when they do things. Nervous flirting, falling in love and killing each other are all literary expressions that are not seen in other countries' movies. I feel that the Predator is invincible against these mental illnesses, and none of the opponents he meets are worthy of his trophy collection. However, in the end, he was defeated in a very humiliating way, and he did not even leave room for the honor of committing suicide. Pingyang.

There are three points to forcibly summarize. One is the Predator itself. This one needs no explanation. It is too classic. The other is American-style folk martial arts. Veterans go home with guns and armed forces. There are everything for snipers to support melee combat; the third is literary drama, yes, it is literary drama. Some of the lines are quite interesting, such as how the name of the Predator came from, such as how the old men who were scattered in the sand suddenly clenched their fists. It's bad and bad, but it's super in line with the style of a B-grade film. How can it be called a B-grade film if it is not bad. So I gave three stars, one star to feelings and two stars to the director, so he got the first star~~[Erha]

    very general 1. The atmosphere is not right, it is not tense, and the sense of entertainment like Resident Evil is almost unscientific 2. The aura of the supporting role is too weak, and the aura of the protagonist is too strong 3. Too much swearing, still directed at women. Same-sex driving was cold in the governor's day.

    Restarting after a lapse of decades, although "Predator" has enough bloody violence, the movie just proves that this series has indeed been eliminated with the progress of the times. The concept of too small a pattern is inexplicable. The motives of the characters, as well as the aura of the protagonist that doesn't emphasize any logic at all, make the film not only old-fashioned and verbose, but also exudes an air of utter stupidity.
