With an odd amount of comedy and levity The Predators tone isn't exactly in keeping with the original movies yet manages to solidly feel like a Predator film thanks to the original score and franchise tropes. Okay actually I retract that, the leading man Boyd Holbrook is less than impressive and just wasn't up to the task. With a stellar cast including Thomas Jane, the stunning Olivia Munn and the excellent Keegan-Michael Key it had no problems on that front.
Cue lots of action, blood shed but a pretty wafer thin plot that doesn't exactly go anywhere.
So a Predator comes to Earth but this time the government is ready for it. It's just a badly flawed addition to the franchise yet manages to be oddly loyal at the same time. Let's make something clear, I am not saying The Predator is a good film because it simply isn't but worst of 2018? Absolutely not.
Going in I was forced to have low expectations, and I firmly disagree. It was even suggested that it was one of the worst movies of 2018 and comparable with the messy AVP movies. I'd heard nothing but bad things about The Predator, wall to wall hatred and mockery.
