I bet that wrongplanet site is collectively stimming themselves raw over this.

This movie was fucking boring as shit. At least the characters were unapologetic. Guy tells his wife to stay home and let him handle it because he's better at killing shit, and she agrees. Fucking shocked you can even still have that in movies these days.

Also I know Olivia Munn is infamous for demanding action hero scenes in her parts so I don't know why they didn't write around that for her character. Why wasn't she a cop or a Marine or something? Because it made no sense to see this geeky scientist keeping up with the commandos. It's like, her character was fine in she wasn't useless or shoehorned but her background was irrelevant and contradictory.

Holy fucking christ this was dog shit. Easily the worst Predator film. Could be worse than AvP. Not worse than AvP: Requiem. Shane Black killed the franchise.

SHANE BLACK YOU KILLED THE PREDATOR!

Its truly amazing how hard it apparently is to make a good Predator movie.

The fans aren't expecting Citizen Kane. We just want a decent little action movie with some cool gore and shit. What the fuck is Hollywood doing.

Fuck, I know how to fucking make a fucking good fucking Predator fucking movie. I fucking know how! Three fucking words:

Predator VS ISIS

The script writes itself. And it would be a lot better than this shit.

I thought the movie was ok on it's own, it is awful if you compare it to 1 or 2 but i was just looking for a dumb action flick to pass time

I thought it was too exceptional to be even your typical action flick.

It's an apples and oranges situation but I thought that was better. It had moments and ideas and has the out of "Well, the studio fucked with it by having extensive re-shoots." And it at least didn't have a goddamn kid in it.

Gotta say this lore change pretty much ruins the Predator monster for me.

I always felt that the Predators were just big game hunters who came to earth to hunt men because it was a thrill for them. Same as how humans want to kill deadly wild animals.

As Jay Bauman once said, it's the problem with the simple yet effective premise. The original Predator was just a sports hunter from another planet. But modern screenwriters just can't accept shit like that so they make stuff up to add gravity to the situation.

Here is an idea.

Going off the "big game hunter" concept, In the near future in some african/central asian civil war, a Predator saves an ex spec-ops mercenary just as he was about to be executed and then "hires" (i.e. abducts but with promises of something valuable) him as his "native guide" while hunting down people on all sides (and fellow predators who get in his way) in order to locate the most infamous warlords and fighters (and also to counter some of their anti-predator defences, since at this point people on these frontlines are pretty much aware that something is hunting people down that isnt human, which builds on the general awareness humans had about the predators in the first two films) which the mercenary then uses to his advantage by having the predator help him take out his old PMC employers.

Honestly when you think about it there are plenty of story ideas that can be derived from "space hunter that hunts people like animals".
