“The Predator” is a 2018 science fiction action film that attempted to revitalize the iconic “Predator” franchise. Directed by Shane Black, the movie introduces a new breed of Predators threatening Earth, leading an ensemble cast of ex-soldiers and a science teacher to confront this threat.
The film received mixed reviews due to its attempt to blend action, humor, and new concepts into the Predator universe. While it featured intense action and impressive effects, some felt the humor detracted from the serious tone. Character depth was also criticized, with some feeling the ensemble lacked
development.
Overall, “The Predator” aimed to refresh the franchise but fell short for both dedicated fans and general audiences. While it offered entertaining action and expanded the Predator lore, its execution and tonal inconsistencies left it divisive among viewers.
