Can u tell me the plot/ending/

A Fugitive Predator is being hunted by an Ultimate Predator for an unknown reason, as the film progresses you find out that the Predator race has been experimenting with DNA to upgrade themselves. The film makes it seem like the Ultimate Predator is trying to stop the Fugitive Predator from revealing this to the humans but right at the end you find out that the Fugitive Predator was being hunted because it had stolen a weapon, that weapon is in fact, a high tech combat suit that can be worn by humans called the 'Predator Killer' to fight Predators.

Just got back from it. I honestly can't say what to think of it. At times it's exactly what the movie should be, and at times it's an awful mess, and it's hard to pinpoint the blame. In a sense it's the worst and best of Shane Black too. The screenplay is self aware and overly ironic, and often does too much to play with genre tropes. On the other hand Black always understands the little things that make movies tick, and it's often that if you feel he kept things simpler, he would've achieved much more here.

Olivia Munn is hilariously miscast and is only saved by the fact that the movie moves at such a rapid pace that after her first couple scenes you don't really get the room to think about how terrible she is. It also helps that the rest of the cast was clearly having a lot of fun with this. Yes, there's a ton of shytty lines, and a whole lot of not-good-enough actors to make them work, but they're all strangely committed and on the same page. When the action hits it's brutal enough but the pacing doesn't really do much for building suspense, most of the action blending into a slasher/shootout hybrid filled with explosions. Some of the kills are inventive though and reveal that somewhere they definitely got the right idea, but never managed to work it out into a fully functioning movie, and that's a shame.

Whats your rating on a 1-10

Im very upset that this movie has turned to be what we had expected...a mess.

The same cant be said for the original and thats at least where this should have taken its cues.....

I'd generously give it a 6/10, because I think the movie works enough on a fundamental level. I can fully understand anyone who hates it though.:manny:

Like I read somewhere else, this movie should've been like the Arnie one. Put in action stars and have them go against The Predator

I said a few pages back this should have been an Expendebles cross over or at most toss in a few WWE And MMA guys and make Jason Strahan or the Rock the lead

Throw 50 mill at the rock and some mma guys/action guys etc

Redo the first film but have the predator kidnap the rock at the end(wound him with a shoulder shot) and than throw his ass on a predator planet

End film

Let 2nd one be rock on his dolo on a predator planet facing predators and then let that end with the Alien joints invading earth and the rock and predators head to earth since he earned their respect.

All this meeds to be ultra violent and not take itself too serious.

:wow:
Cut me the check

Best way to describe this movie......"Forgettable"

The fact that it wanted to be too funny is some places was really distracting...honestly I dont know what it was really going for...

There was no suspense....the action was just ok

The CGI was in full effect so the deaths to me seemed cheesy

The dogs were pointless...

The ptsd soldiers motivations made no sense....

Olivia Munn was a doctor, but for some reason she also appeared to have some "training"...

Ridiculous...

It really was a mess....that had potential
