So, I was thinking about this for a long time going back and forth with my opinion. I think I can call myself one of the bigest defenders of this movie. But now, especially after franchise got a shot in the arm called Prey, I can confidently say that The Predator, in fact, was a quite terrible movie.
When the movie came out back in 2018 I tried so hard to convince myself I liked it. I'm not quite sure why, I guess it was a combination of being my first ever theatrical Predator experience which I attended with my dad and me feeling that movie didn't necessarily deserved all the trashing it got from critics and viewers. After a while it just became semi-ironic game of defending kinda trashy movie and being in opposition to the majority of fans. Now, I'm at the point where I feel like "
sigh Why couldn't you be better ?". I don't hate it and I still don't think it's as bad or worse than Requiem. I just have no desire to go back to it. Even the prospect of one day maybe seeing Emissaries cut doesn't excite me anymore.
I understand that I'm probably being too over-dramatic talking about some movie from more than 4 years ago. I just felt the need to write down my thoughts. I would also like to apologise to anyone who's time and nerves I wasted arguing about this movie (
@SiL ,you're the first who comes to mind). These were my early days on the boards and it ain't something I'm terribly proud of
