The first reviews about The Predator hasn't been very gracious, despite of those it is good to see, that there is something left of movie director Shane Black vision in this movie. Especially first half of the movie is quite delightful and salute to 80's action movies. It's too bad, that you cannot say the same for rest of the movie. Studios decision about massive re-shooting for the movie after the test audience saw the movie hasn't done any good for the movie. Even it is partly quite enjoyable action movie the entire movie is quite muddle. Especially the end of the movie is a quite disappointment.
Casting of the movie is mostly quite clever, but Boyd Holbrook as Quinn McKenna takes his role too serious. He isn't Arnold Schwazenegger although he ties it very much. Rest of the soldiers are quite fun and enjoyable at their role despite it is clear that none of them survives to the end of the movie. Jacob Treblay as Rory McKenna answer surprisingly the best role of the movie.
Even the outcome of the movie is quite muddle you don't need to take it too seriously. After all it is quite ok action packed sci-fi movie and mediocre reboot of the series. If and when there will be sequels you can only hope that they will be more distinctive. Despite of all feebleness The Predator is still quite enjoyable R-rated action movie. Just don't take it too seriously.
