Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,460
oh the predator the troubled troubled
1
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,468
predator as always you can expect an
1
00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:15,780
incredibly honest review from me and
1
00:00:13,468 --> 00:00:18,149
this will be no different admittedly I
1
00:00:15,779 --> 00:00:20,219
had massive reservations for this film
1
00:00:18,149 --> 00:00:23,250
from the leaked script the leaked images
1
00:00:20,219 --> 00:00:25,288
the first trailer but then things
1
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:27,960
started to look up we got word of
1
00:00:25,289 --> 00:00:29,670
reshoots rewrites of third act and the
1
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,520
trailers and the marketing changed
1
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:35,640
completely and I became genuinely
1
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:40,579
excited for this movie and have to say I
1
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:45,359
loved absolutely loved about 90% of it
1
00:00:40,579 --> 00:00:48,659
absolutely loved it but 10% ten percent
1
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:51,238
of this movie namely the ending ruined
1
00:00:48,659 --> 00:00:53,308
it for me let's discuss non spoilers
1
00:00:51,238 --> 00:00:54,328
first and then we'll go into spoilers
1
00:00:53,308 --> 00:00:57,419
the main plots
1
00:00:54,329 --> 00:01:00,299
well we open on an absolutely fantastic
1
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:02,340
scene and something that's not been seen
1
00:01:00,299 --> 00:01:05,099
before at all something that I can't say
1
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:07,290
as it'll be a spoiler but something that
1
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:10,319
expands the law of the Predators in a
1
00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:12,900
great way moving from there our leading
1
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,539
man McKenna is on location in Mexico on
1
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:17,580
an operation he's about to take his shot
1
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:20,009
and boom spaceship comes out from the
1
00:01:17,579 --> 00:01:22,228
sky cue the scenes from the trailers
1
00:01:20,009 --> 00:01:24,599
where he stumbles across the gear and
1
00:01:22,228 --> 00:01:26,489
this is the setup for the film he finds
1
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:29,489
the ship takes the Predators gear the
1
00:01:26,489 --> 00:01:31,589
fugitive and mails it to his pure box to
1
00:01:29,489 --> 00:01:34,709
keep his safest evidence in case he
1
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:36,719
falls into government hands he does he's
1
00:01:34,709 --> 00:01:38,129
interviewed or debriefed I guess you
1
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:39,539
could say it's essentially just the
1
00:01:38,129 --> 00:01:42,569
stuff that we've seen in the trailers
1
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:45,659
and from here we introduce two Traeger
1
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:46,289
the head of project stargazer played by
1
00:01:45,659 --> 00:01:49,380
trivanti
1
00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:51,479
Rhodes and my god what an asshole this
1
00:01:49,379 --> 00:01:53,399
character is the most badass I've seen
1
00:01:51,478 --> 00:01:55,289
in a long long time
1
00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:57,899
and I don't mean because he's evil or
1
00:01:55,290 --> 00:02:00,149
he's just massive etc he's just a prick
1
00:01:57,899 --> 00:02:02,009
but he loves it and has so much
1
00:02:00,149 --> 00:02:04,680
conviction behind it he loves what he
1
00:02:02,009 --> 00:02:07,109
does he loves being an asshole and I
1
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,939
of watching it so from the trailers we
1
00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:11,729
know there is a band of misfits the
1
00:02:08,939 --> 00:02:15,240
loonies they were absolutely fantastic
1
00:02:11,729 --> 00:02:17,699
really really great they have a superb
1
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,890
balance of humor and although I had my
1
00:02:17,699 --> 00:02:23,399
reservations on the dialogue it actually
1
00:02:19,889 --> 00:02:25,949
came across very very well there are
1
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,140
genuine laugh-out-loud moments and the
1
00:02:25,949 --> 00:02:31,229
characters are likable there's one
1
00:02:28,139 --> 00:02:33,899
Baxley who's played by Thomas Jane and
1
00:02:31,229 --> 00:02:35,280
he has Tourette's which of course could
1
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:38,700
have been played up and come across
1
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,729
awful however it was used just enough
1
00:02:38,699 --> 00:02:43,530
with just the right timing and just the
1
00:02:41,729 --> 00:02:46,738
right phrases and comments that made it
1
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:48,569
hilarious in the best way the other
1
00:02:46,739 --> 00:02:50,430
loonies have their little traits and
1
00:02:48,569 --> 00:02:52,859
they're all misfits but they do become
1
00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:54,330
likable and I engage with them the way
1
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:57,300
they're introduced is a little
1
00:02:54,330 --> 00:02:59,520
derivative but it worked from here
1
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:01,320
things run astray and predators go up
1
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,360
against predators and then predator
1
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:04,949
hunts the team as they have something
1
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,160
one of the Predators was trying to bring
1
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:11,339
to us for some reason that's the plot as
1
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:13,769
spoiler free as possible so let's break
1
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:15,959
down the good it has an awesome tense
1
00:03:13,769 --> 00:03:17,789
feeling throughout I could feel tension
1
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:20,699
an atmosphere I've got a sense of
1
00:03:17,789 --> 00:03:22,769
urgency and it worked very very well
1
00:03:20,699 --> 00:03:25,619
despite the great use of tension it also
1
00:03:22,769 --> 00:03:28,140
had some fantastic and textbook shame
1
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:31,259
black humor but it had a good balance
1
00:03:28,139 --> 00:03:33,479
and again in word the effects of the
1
00:03:31,259 --> 00:03:35,909
Predators actually pretty good does it
1
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:37,949
work in its entirety no and there are
1
00:03:35,909 --> 00:03:40,590
some moments that really do suffer and
1
00:03:37,949 --> 00:03:42,659
look quite off the overall story is a
1
00:03:40,590 --> 00:03:44,519
good expansion to the universe this
1
00:03:42,659 --> 00:03:47,189
isn't a bland and paint by numbers
1
00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:50,219
predator movie it isn't many jungle men
1
00:03:47,189 --> 00:03:52,439
fly predator and die there is a lot more
1
00:03:50,219 --> 00:03:55,289
to it than that and some of it works and
1
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:57,359
some of it really doesn't through the
1
00:03:55,289 --> 00:04:00,750
reshoots though you do get a feel of the
1
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,750
film being light lots of things implied
1
00:04:00,750 --> 00:04:06,329
lots of things pushed but nothing really
1
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:08,549
fleshed out things that looked like they
1
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:10,409
could have gone somewhere didn't as if
1
00:04:08,549 --> 00:04:13,230
they did potentially before the reshoots
1
00:04:10,409 --> 00:04:16,649
I will commend Fox for trying they tried
1
00:04:13,229 --> 00:04:19,319
to make this the predator movie not just
1
00:04:16,649 --> 00:04:22,169
predator movie and part of that is what
1
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:24,269
will be to this film's detriment it has
1
00:04:22,170 --> 00:04:27,090
such a good balance of everything up
1
00:04:24,269 --> 00:04:30,029
until a point the ending then it
1
00:04:27,089 --> 00:04:33,029
absolutely screwed itself it rear-ended
1
00:04:30,029 --> 00:04:35,159
itself and it had totally shifted
1
00:04:33,029 --> 00:04:37,739
changed and became John Carpenter's The
1
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,320
Thing a messed-up amalgamation of sinew
1
00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:42,800
and flesh a mesh of ideas that just
1
00:04:40,319 --> 00:04:46,560
didn't work this film absolutely
1
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:49,439
benefits from the reshoots but you can
1
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,879
feel them in there and the ending it's
1
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:53,879
not better than what was in the lead
1
00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:57,329
script it's certainly no worse but it's
1
00:04:53,879 --> 00:05:00,360
on par and it's equally as bad but it's
1
00:04:57,329 --> 00:05:02,909
such a shame because up until that point
1
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,310
I absolutely loved it everything worked
1
00:05:02,910 --> 00:05:07,560
and then it's as if someone new just
1
00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:09,870
came in and tacked on a new ending and
1
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,089
they hadn't even worked on the film but
1
00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:14,069
had seen an outline how can i rate this
1
00:05:12,089 --> 00:05:16,379
film I guess it's probably fair to say
1
00:05:14,069 --> 00:05:18,569
that I will watch this again I want to
1
00:05:16,379 --> 00:05:21,209
watch it with a public audience I want
1
00:05:18,569 --> 00:05:23,399
to see their reaction and I want to see
1
00:05:21,209 --> 00:05:25,589
it again for me because there is promise
1
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:27,989
there there are good things in this film
1
00:05:25,589 --> 00:05:30,539
that the ending will likely divide
1
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:32,639
people and unfortunately I hate to say
1
00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:35,580
it I think will be the reason this movie
1
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:37,589
fails it will leave a sour taste in your
1
00:05:35,579 --> 00:05:40,319
mouth and I think a lot of people the
1
00:05:37,589 --> 00:05:43,349
fans included will not forgive it the
1
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:45,899
action is great and this is by far the
1
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:49,080
bloodiest predator movie yet it earns
1
00:05:45,899 --> 00:05:51,629
its our rating and amazingly Olivia Munn
1
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:53,879
wasn't annoying or incredibly terrible
1
00:05:51,629 --> 00:05:55,949
the kid you saw in the trailers was
1
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:58,529
actually handled reasonably well would I
1
00:05:55,949 --> 00:06:01,159
have liked less sure but all in all it
1
00:05:58,529 --> 00:06:04,439
wasn't as bad as I expected it to be so
1
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,640
that out of the way let's discuss the
1
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:08,759
spoilers shall we
1
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:12,719
you've been warned spoilers now spoiler
1
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:14,789
warning the opening was so good the
1
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,980
fugitive predator is called that because
1
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:19,560
he stole something from the Predators
1
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:20,069
the opening is in space we see two
1
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,170
predator
1
00:06:20,069 --> 00:06:24,719
shipped one chasing the other and boom
1
00:06:22,170 --> 00:06:27,210
one of them opens up a tear in space and
1
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,340
disappears kind of like a wormhole what
1
00:06:27,209 --> 00:06:31,769
an awesome addition to the law really
1
00:06:29,339 --> 00:06:34,169
really great the design of the ships
1
00:06:31,769 --> 00:06:35,849
unfortunately has been kept from a VP
1
00:06:34,170 --> 00:06:37,860
though which I thought is a shame
1
00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:40,320
because I really liked what they did
1
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:42,150
with the ship design and Predator 2 so
1
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:43,939
from here the upgrade is obviously out
1
00:06:42,149 --> 00:06:46,620
to get the fugitive he's an assassin
1
00:06:43,939 --> 00:06:48,990
basically interestingly enough though
1
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:51,720
it's implied that if this didn't happen
1
00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:53,819
the movie wouldn't have happened
1
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,650
so those interviews where Shane black is
1
00:06:53,819 --> 00:06:58,199
discussing the upgrade predator and
1
00:06:55,649 --> 00:07:00,479
states how a clan on predator world is
1
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:03,599
angry with humanity for beating their
1
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,670
champions not once but twice and decided
1
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,430
to upgrade themselves and send this
1
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:10,290
upgrade to seek revenge seems they've
1
00:07:08,430 --> 00:07:12,389
actually been nonsense because as
1
00:07:10,290 --> 00:07:15,060
mentioned it's implied that if the
1
00:07:12,389 --> 00:07:16,620
fugitive hadn't stolen anything that the
1
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:19,530
upgrade wouldn't have turned up on earth
1
00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:21,209
once he's here though does he then seek
1
00:07:19,529 --> 00:07:23,189
out some of the things and do other
1
00:07:21,209 --> 00:07:25,259
things after killing the fugitive sure
1
00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:25,649
but those initial rumors seem to be
1
00:07:25,259 --> 00:07:28,469
false
1
00:07:25,649 --> 00:07:30,629
anyway the whole hybridization element
1
00:07:28,470 --> 00:07:34,110
to the movie yeah it's still there front
1
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:37,519
and center fact they have all been doing
1
00:07:34,110 --> 00:07:39,780
it the fugitive has human DNA in it
1
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:41,579
unfortunately this is now canon pretty
1
00:07:39,779 --> 00:07:44,099
much across the board by the looks of it
1
00:07:41,579 --> 00:07:45,779
he looks like a normal predator - so
1
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,730
that would mean that they all do it
1
00:07:45,779 --> 00:07:50,789
because otherwise they'd look different
1
00:07:47,730 --> 00:07:53,040
which is a shame but hey-ho it's there
1
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:55,710
it's done they work it into the story
1
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,650
why are they doing this well to upgrade
1
00:07:55,709 --> 00:08:01,469
themselves to make themselves evolve
1
00:07:57,649 --> 00:08:03,899
essentially it's implied again there's a
1
00:08:01,470 --> 00:08:05,610
lot implied but not much outright stated
1
00:08:03,899 --> 00:08:07,739
or explained that the Predators are
1
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:10,920
doing this because they want to come to
1
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:12,480
our planet and basically move in global
1
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,640
warming is creating the perfect
1
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,530
environment for them and they want to
1
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:18,719
take advantage of that take trophies of
1
00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:20,168
the best of us take our DNA while our
1
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,659
time on earth
1
00:08:20,168 --> 00:08:25,688
we're essentially and described as in
1
00:08:22,658 --> 00:08:28,329
the movie an endangered species we just
1
00:08:25,689 --> 00:08:30,819
don't know it yet on the topic of the
1
00:08:28,329 --> 00:08:32,828
upgrade really really good actually I
1
00:08:30,819 --> 00:08:35,050
really enjoyed him it didn't look as bad
1
00:08:32,828 --> 00:08:36,728
as I thought it would and they seemed to
1
00:08:35,049 --> 00:08:39,549
have found a good balance of showing
1
00:08:36,729 --> 00:08:42,069
just enough and not having him to front
1
00:08:39,549 --> 00:08:44,349
and center so as to much focus goes on
1
00:08:42,068 --> 00:08:47,469
him and thus the illusion is ruined
1
00:08:44,350 --> 00:08:49,389
it was good he dies way too easily for
1
00:08:47,470 --> 00:08:52,480
my liking though and it all seems just a
1
00:08:49,389 --> 00:08:55,389
bit shallow a bit Hollow the death is
1
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,670
very similar to the leap script and I
1
00:08:55,389 --> 00:08:59,409
wish they had changed it he does a lot
1
00:08:57,669 --> 00:09:01,659
of damage to the looneys kills them all
1
00:08:59,409 --> 00:09:04,350
basically but I would have liked to see
1
00:09:01,659 --> 00:09:07,120
him do more so to me that was a letdown
1
00:09:04,350 --> 00:09:09,490
but this is probably what you came for
1
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,100
the very ending this is where it becomes
1
00:09:09,490 --> 00:09:14,409
awful atrocious even the thing the
1
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:16,959
fugitive stole the thing that is a gift
1
00:09:14,409 --> 00:09:17,620
for Humanity as a weapon against his own
1
00:09:16,958 --> 00:09:20,438
kind
1
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:21,938
the Predators is a fucking suit of armor
1
00:09:20,438 --> 00:09:24,879
I kid you not
1
00:09:21,938 --> 00:09:26,620
it's a arrives in a pod and I thought
1
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:28,839
Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to jump
1
00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:29,620
out from some translator it's called the
1
00:09:28,839 --> 00:09:33,279
predator killer
1
00:09:29,620 --> 00:09:34,240
so I'm sat there thinking okay where are
1
00:09:33,278 --> 00:09:36,399
they going with this
1
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,709
what's a predator killer what's on a pod
1
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:41,620
shaped like it would fit a human body
1
00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:44,859
Arnold nope this piece of technology
1
00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:47,948
comes out hovers above the pod and then
1
00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:50,470
flies onto a scientists arm the thing
1
00:09:47,948 --> 00:09:54,308
that expands covers his body like an
1
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:57,129
Iron Man suit and is a robotic predator
1
00:09:54,308 --> 00:10:00,669
suit complete with metal dreadlocks
1
00:09:57,129 --> 00:10:03,370
his gift to humanity was a suit of armor
1
00:10:00,669 --> 00:10:06,159
a god damn suit of armor which then
1
00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:08,740
McKenna states that's my next suit but
1
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:11,730
just hope it comes in my size setting up
1
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:14,169
a sequel of essentially superhero
1
00:10:11,730 --> 00:10:16,839
Ironman predator against the other
1
00:10:14,169 --> 00:10:18,669
predators yeah I know you probably think
1
00:10:16,839 --> 00:10:20,559
I'm joking but I'm not that is actually
1
00:10:18,669 --> 00:10:23,229
the ending legitimately the ending
1
00:10:20,558 --> 00:10:25,808
originally the pods had hybrids in them
1
00:10:23,230 --> 00:10:27,779
predator hybrids which sadly probably
1
00:10:25,808 --> 00:10:29,799
would have been better than
1
00:10:27,779 --> 00:10:32,110
unfortunately I think this ending will
1
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:34,299
really put people off because a world
1
00:10:32,110 --> 00:10:36,550
where superhero movies now dominate the
1
00:10:34,299 --> 00:10:38,079
box office you come to a predator movie
1
00:10:36,549 --> 00:10:40,839
for something new something different
1
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:43,420
something outside of that superhero crap
1
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,889
and then some reason Fox thought it
1
00:10:43,419 --> 00:10:47,469
would be a good idea to try and turn
1
00:10:44,889 --> 00:10:48,580
predator into some superhero movie oh
1
00:10:47,470 --> 00:10:51,340
dear
1
00:10:48,580 --> 00:10:53,200
like I say this ending will really make
1
00:10:51,340 --> 00:10:55,420
or break this film it's the ending of
1
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,820
the movie so people will come out having
1
00:10:55,419 --> 00:10:59,789
their necks broken from the 180 turn
1
00:10:57,820 --> 00:11:02,890
tonally that this film takes and
1
00:10:59,789 --> 00:11:05,319
probably be really disgruntled thus bad
1
00:11:02,889 --> 00:11:07,539
word of mouth if it had a horrible start
1
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,610
but then improved and got better and an
1
00:11:07,539 --> 00:11:11,919
ended well I think the audience could
1
00:11:09,610 --> 00:11:13,570
forgive it that this I think will cause
1
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:15,610
issues for the film anyway
1
00:11:13,570 --> 00:11:17,830
I genuinely loved it up until that point
1
00:11:15,610 --> 00:11:20,230
I had a great time but that ending
1
00:11:17,830 --> 00:11:22,660
ruined it for me I hope you enjoyed this
