So I fully admit that I have limited context here. As far as I'm concerned "Predator" = jungles and body butter. Reviewed by cliftonofun 7 / 10 If it bleeds.Ĭonfession: I'm the guy who watched the original Predator way too many times thanks to the magic of VHS.but then never watched a single sequel afterwards. It might as well be Captain Marvel v the Predator, you literally wouldn't notice the difference. The truth is, you have seen this before, it's every other PC check-marked movie that has come out in the past 4 years, and the check-marked characters are just as interchangeable. Meanwhile her brother actually does some pretty heroic, selfless, and respectable things in the film, that hardly get recognized because of Strong Female Lead's absolute perfectness. So evil white people have to be awkwardly shoe-horned into the plot that was already, kind of, going well despite the addition of Strong Female Lead playing Strong Female Lead and checking off boxes without actually having a personality. Until evil white people come who are playing the role of evil white people because all white people are absolute evil and the film needs to add them in to show white evilness because the predator is an alien, so you don't get the racial all white people are evil messaging if it is just the predator vs a group of Native American hunters. Only some of the tribe actually does pretty noble things. Her tribe gets brutally punished by the Predator for not realizing that she is the greatest person in the world and good at everything.

So you know she is going to win, instantly, and she does. Her tribe is bad because they don't want her to be a hunter, even though she is the best hunter ever. In this one it was forced in.īut then Prey stars "Strong Female Lead," who is playing "Strong Female Lead," and you can tell what her check marks are because everything comes easy to her. Only in the first one, there was actually a reason to say it. "If it bleeds," and you are supposed to roll your eyes back like a shark in a feeding frenzy and applause because 'member-berries. "What, you don't conform to our party politics, well dislike the moment after you post." Ooops, must have had the wrong opinion on a political movie again, the staff at IMDb are doing the insta-ratio.
