Watched with James.

Not only did this movie stink, but the social justice warriors had to add in their nonsense. Can't they just leave movies alone? Maybe it's just Olivia Munn and her crappy acting. Humans will be extinct in one generation due to global warming? Pedal that nonsense somewhere else.

I'm huge on the first two _Predator_ films; watched them a lot as a kid, VHS days. _The Predator_ on the other hand was pretty entertaining. The tone/feel is a lot different than the previous titles. Some parts were cheaply edited, but it's probably due to time constraints and/or budget, but makes up with comedy, the characters, the action, the gore, and lore. It's less of the artsy tense directing of the first two _Predator_ films which I admire, but still well-paced with action and humor, good to watch on Halloween too.. _Don't Starve_ (video game) was seen on a computer screen. There were some parts that made me think of another property (I won't say what it is but I'll codename it "G") that I'm a huge fan of that's not so relevant these days, and I'm glad the ideas were carried over with Predator as it's a more well-known property. The person (SW) that designed the original Predator creature had also worked on live-action adaptations of said G films, so there must've been some connection there, I would bet. That would be really cool if so. I find out later in the credits that Shane Black worked on this (He also worked on and starred in the original _Predator_ '87). Also, the iconic original score has been recycled.
