Hello there! Well, I managed to finally get this video out, had limited sleep and breaks for eating, otherwise I have been stuck in Microsoft Word and Vegas for what feels like centuries. It tough to get done but after many drafts and corrections, it looks like we made it. For those who are wondering, we got the TFA Critique coming up and i'm gonna take a few days to wind down a bit then i'm back on with that, full throttle. I was going to cover Venom but I really want to push on with TFA now, hoping for a early November release, realistically. So I think I will skip Venom to focus TFA. Next up should be Aqua-man in December and after that.......who knows. I shall be posting updates to the Patreon about the TFA critique if you guys want more details, those are free posts and you can check them out here: www.patreon.com/user?u=4817956
Thank you for still making fun of TLJ. Because I'm still trying to digest how horrible that movie is and this reminds me that there's sanity out there.
Counting is hard these days isn’t it? Instead of 1,2,3,4 Predators, Predator, The Predator, Predator 2 Simple, totally not going to be confusing or just plain dumb I wonder what’s next, What Predator? A Predator? Predator 1? Predator 0? Choices indeed!
"The final act took place in daylight, and that wasn't scary." Shane Black, a man who was part /of/ the original Predator, a movie in which 3/4 of it takes place during broad daylight and is one of the tensest, most anxiety inducing experiences of all film history, has decided "Muh Daylight = Muh Boring". Well done, sir. Well done, managing to forget the lessons of the cinematic classic YOU WERE FUCKING IN.
The scene where the Predator kills Mac and Apollo Creed (can't remember his name right now lol) is one of the scariest in the movie and it happens in broad daylight _"Anytime"_
@@megamovieman101 The only reason he was in the film was to do re-writes on the script. So he wrote a large chunk of the original movie. Which makes this movie even more baffling.
The idea of changing Predator lore to make it more... grand in scope(?) kind of goes against what made Predator so effective in the first place. The basic idea is that they didn't see us as much more than sport. We were collateral damage in their rituals or hobbies. It's upsetting. It makes you really root for the human.
Thats also the problem with the new shitty alien movies. Predator was a mysterious and monstrous alien that came to earth to hunt for sport. We dont need to know more. More takes away the mystery and if written like this makes it fucking stupid. Same with Alien. First its some mysterious xeno found on some destroyed alien ship. It made you contemplate the unknown horrors of space and how this creature was a perfectly evolved apex predator. The rest was up to your imagination. Then the new movies made them bio weapons made by an insane robot. I personally love the idea that somewhere in the galaxy there could be planets with these apex predators like xenomorphs and that things even worse could be lurking. But no Ridley Scott just said, “lol so like these big pale bald guys made humans and then made a bioweapon that creates xenomorphs lol”
You skipped over one of the dumbest things in movie history. When the girl goes to the Stargazer lab they show her a tablet with still images from P1 and P2. The P1 image is when it emerged from the water and couldn’t see Dutch covered in mud... as if someone was there and took that photo.
At this point I am willing to believe Hollywood has been taken over by shape shifting aliens with no concept of human culture and no ability to construct a story. These scripts would of got rejected as B movies back in any day.
You know, I have Asperger's Syndrome, and I'm been around for a good while (in my final year of high school), so I can say with confidence... that this movie really is an insult to my condition. The only "superpower" I have is the ability to work out certain math equations in my head with few difficulties- sometimes. Beyond that, it is nothing but a problem for me, making it hard for me to speak in complete sentences without stuttering, to be able to connect with people on any meaningful level, and to break out of regular daily patterns without becoming anxious. I do bad in crowds, and I sadly cannot memorize patterns like other people with my condition can apparently do (especially not to the bullshit levels presented in this film). My only saving grace is that I have been lucky and have not been bullied for my condition, because if I was, I'm not sure how I would react (probably either burst into tears or throw a punch of punches out of anger). I know people think they are encouraging people like me when they write characters like this, but they never get it right, because they fail to acknowledge the drawbacks of Asperger's Syndrome, and instead make characters with only the good parts, exaggerated to the point where it is unrealistic and just disrespectful. I have been trying my hand at writing fantasy novels lately, and I like to think I can write some decent stories on my rough drafts alone. When I make a world, I always write out the rules, so that even if my story becomes a bit contrived, it does not break its rules. I do my best to make sure events flow from scene to scene, and while my foreshadowing skills need work, I do at least make sure the setups make sense. How people like this can get jobs in Hollywood, or any other film studios, with such obvious little care for lore, consistency, and dialogue is baffling to me. I know that I at least try, and the people I show my stories to can tell I try even if they don't like what I wrote- these people put no effort into their stories and try to cover it up with cool effects instead of checking the script. If the story sounds bad on paper before you cover it up with "amazing" effects, then the story should never be produced (yet they still do, somehow). Mauler, you have done a fantastic job with all of your rages and critiques, for movies and otherwise, and you have brought me much joy. You are helping my critical thinking skills for story telling, and have provided me with all the evidence I need for my friends when I tell them I hate Disney Star Wars (am loving the Legends Novels so far, though- I'm on a mission to get as many as I can). Thank you for all the work you put into these videos, and sorry if I ranted a bit. I look forward to your critique of TFA.
"How people like this can get jobs in Hollywood, or any other film studios, with such obvious little care for lore, consistency, and dialogue is baffling to me" simple, it's all about brand recognition at this point, which is really sad.
@@alansilvero it's all about dem connections at this point. How some people are even allowed to make movies such as the guy who directed the movie chips is all because they have connections.
ProfessorFanatic I see that you like DnD. If you don't already play I suggest that you do. However I would also suggest you play as the DM. Playing as the DM is a great way to learn interpersonal skills. It can be a trail by fire and passions can run high but it's worth it. Autism isn't a chain to a wall keeping you separated from others. It's a weight for sure, it will slow you down and it never goes away for good. But the focus and will power it takes to pull that weight will make you stronger.
Literally the most bat shit insane plot point ive ever seen/heard of. Predators want to harvest fucking assburgers and autism to become better warriors
Heh in some ways it's true. A lot of movies seem to skip on the details nowadays (Star Wars: TLJ is probably the best example of this) which might be excusable in SMALL amounts, but these amounts are by no means SMALL in a lot of new movies.
Shane Black: filming in daylight is boring! Let's do it at night! Also Shane: *was part of one of the greatest horror movies of all time, which was 100% filmed in BROAD DAYLIGHT.*
"It is not hard to maintain a tone in Predator. Thank you for proving me wrong Shane." That ladies and gentlemen is why I love MauLer. Please don't ever lose your sass. One of your many gifts. :)
How hard would it have been just to make a sequel to Predators? A movie about Adrian Brody's character trying to get off that planet would have been interesting.
Say what you will about the casting of Adrien, but he and everyone else in Predators most definitely outdid every actor is this shitshow with all their performances. Everyone’s lines and delivery and piss-poor acting in this “movie” literally made me cringe and unintentionally laugh from beginning to end. “Who wrote this dialogue?!”
I would love a predator movie set in the future. Mankind is starting to colonize planets. We have a group of space marines on an outer rim world outpost protecting the engineers there that are prepping it for a colony. Little did we know this planet is close to Predator space. A predator arrives and begins hunting a fearsome alien species from this planet. It crosses paths with the marines and they fight. Because of our advanced weaponry and maybe augmentations or something like this, the marines are able to put him down with minimal casualties. They caught him off guard not expecting human soldiers and his gear was for fighting an alien beast. Before he dies from wounds he sends a SOS and his helmet feed to his fleet. Then a squad of armored and more prepared Predators come to the planet and just wreck havoc.
Avakrr Lmao that is amazingly accurate for this film, like for goodness sakes just space out your events with full stops or something or else your audience is lost
And then a spaceship comes and then the predator wakes up and then the prisoners escape and then they fight the predator and then the predator kills the other predator
@@kieranschafer5180 and then the lobotomized predator dog spits out a grenade... If you wanna see something that is actually like that take a look at "Axe Cop", it's literally the ideas and stories of a 5 year old made into a webcomic, and it's better than this.
Remember when the Predator was an alien hunter that considered earthlings lesser beings with enough intelligence to be a decent hunt. Using it's greater technology to stalk, toy with and manipulate it's human prey. A creature of honour, that would not hunt something that couldn't fight back, only those with weapons. A creature that would eschew it's high tech blaster and tools to fight hand to hand, if it's prey threw it's gun away and drew a knife in futile challenge? One that if you were able to defeat it's Brethren, it would acknowledge your ability, and gift you one of it's many trophy weapons gathered throughout the ages, before leaving in mutual respect? I miss that predator.
@@tessajalloh3914 Well generally, if you can switch "its" for "his/her" then you should use its. If it is "it is" it is "it's". The castle and 'his' walls: its walls. The parliament and her decisions: the parleiament and its decisions, and so on
Funnily enough, they (apparently) hired Black because they wanted him to also take a look at the script / rewrite some stuff. He said no, because he was hired as an actor, not scriptwriter. So they killed him first XD
Rest in peace... Predator Alien Terminator Star Wars Star Trek Jurrasic Park Robocop The Thing Ghostbusters Doctor Who Game of Thrones James Bond The Conjuring Independence Day The Matrix Lord of the Rings What an awful time to be alive
now we got fckn marvel. marvel everywhere we look. oh well, ill just rewatch all of the classics you just mentioned and still be more entertained than by any of todays crap (i just realised i sound like some old dude, even tho im 19y old)
@@thahoule7924 Hell, even the MCU itself is outdated nowadays with all of the cringy jokes (well, some of then are good) and spitting on source material (yup, I'm looking at you Thanos and Captain Marvel)
Mailman here, if they weren't paying the PO Box it'd be held at the Office until payment, or the box was closed and then the items would be returned. But that stuff would be held onto for weeks, if not months.
Do not attempt to use any logic, common sense, actual fact, realistic expectation in this fucking movie. It's retarded beyond imagination and yet many liked it. Like I get it, personal opinion matters. But REALLY?? COME ON! Apparently people like feces now.
See that makes sense if you didn’t pay your bills why would they be like “Hey you owe us money but we decided to personally deliver your package home because going above and beyond for people that don’t pay what they owe is how things work right.”
Then you could have a mailman open it by error and the movie would center around a mailman trying to bravely deliver his daily quota while being chased by all predator, government and specops versions. Pretty neat. I just got an image of a mailman on a bicycle firing plasma shots from the mask cannon on a predator running behind him WHILE expertly pitching a newspaper on the welcome mat of a house...
"But Sir, Predator movies don't actually bleed money." "Hold my beer and watch. Let's start with an autistic lead, a colead with terrets syndrome, a colead that killed his own unit.... Hmm what else.. Secondary bad guy will instantly kill himself...
_Shane Black:_ "Hmm. So we're at the end of Act One. How do we move into Act Two..? What do you think, Lobo?" _Lobo the Lobotomized Dog:_ "Werfff." _Shane Black:_ "You know... that just might work. But then, how will we transition into Act Three?" _Lobo the Lobotomized Dog:_ "Werrp..." _Shane Black:_ "Of course! Lobo, you're a genius!"
Next thing you know, Shane Black planned a scene in which the dog pukes out a dildo and the guys make a joke about it, referring to the girl. That would not surprise me at all if such a scene was cut from the final release.
It will suddenly become an advantage in the post apocalyptic wasteland where social situations are solved with deadly violence, allowing you to play dead like the mighty goat. Godspeed, ultra assburger.
And it's almost every single one of them! Name something, you've considered a "cool action movie" - it's either raped in the last 3-5 years, or is about to be. Terminator(already twice), Alien, Star Wars(incredible triple massacre with two mediocre additions), Predator, Jurassic Park(also double combo punch), Gostbusters - are done, Matrix is on the way...And maybe sth else, I've forgotten. There are some lucky surprises ofc... I mean, I liked BR2049 pretty much, altho I wouldn't say it was an action movie ever, but still, I was totally prepared for it to be garbage. Ah, forgot - the "Predators" movie was recent enough too and it's not that bad (probably an accident)
@@Vladimir_Fedorov27 i was literally guna say "you forgot the new blade runner" but yeah, it probably shouldn't get lumped with those others, it deserves better
I think I've re-watched this video now for what feels like hundreds of times. There is legit no way anyone can get through this video without breaking out in laughter and in my case nearly to tears. What a fantastic review for the most absurd movie ever made.
Actual mailman here in the United States. The package were been returned to sender. It would not have been forwarded on to a home address, unless there was a valid forward. clearly there isn’t because he sent it to the P.O. Box. Do you remember when writers researched topics first? Sigh.
You missed the best part. Biologist lady, remember she's a biologist, claims that the Retcon "grew and exoskeleton under it's skin." That is an actual quote. An EXOskeleton UNDER it's skin. This is what a supposed biologist says.
FFS. It's a Endoskeleton if it's inside. This is something a basic exposure to Five Nights At Freddies will teach you. Because they have Endoskeletons. It's not massively complex.
I know that’s what Michael Caine’s always done, I don’t think he’s ever turned down a role. I guess Olivia’s doing the same thing. And sometimes it’s frustrating because they’re both really talented when they’re trying lol
But didn't you see how calmly he handled all the stress, gunfire, explosions, and death at the end of the movie.. I'm sure the only reason the fire alarm affected him at the beginning was because he wasn't used to his asperger super powers yet.
@@gamma626 I mean, it's fun to have these videos mocking bad films, but it speaks to the quality of films as of late. I'm sure good films are still coming out, but there seem to be a lot of bad films recently, whether it be incompetent directors, poor writers, or mass rewrites.
I saw a documentary about making every Hellraiser movie. The writer and director for one of the sequels, maybe the 5th film, was being interviewed and admitted he had never seen any Hellraiser movie. They hire him to write and direct a sequel and he had never seen a Hellraiser film. Even worse, he couldn't be bothered to watch even one of them. Instead he hired another guy to watch the Hellraiser movies and tell him the basic story, like cliff notes, so he could write another sequel. Summary: "Puzzle Cube opens BDSM demon portal, people die" Add a zip of cocaine and they write a script. This scenario explains Hollywood films today.
@@user-zn5qm2yq9h Hellraisers 5-8 were made using scripts that were not originally intended to be Hellraiser movies and the Cenobites were just shoehorned into all of them.
Dude, you are fuckin hilarious. Found you tonight and I’ve watched captain marvel, Jurassic park, predator and rise of sky walker already. I need more unbridled rage in my life
The original movie is a modern classic,because it's a very subversive movie.The guys from RLM made a fantastic analysis about it. The movie starts out,as your typical 80's action flick,with macho commandos,going to a mission into the jungle and then turns into a slasher,but with the twist,that the killer is not some Jason or Michael Myers character,but a beefed up alien,armed with some awesome tech. You see these manly men ,losing their shit,as they're getting murdered one by one,by the Pred. In the end only Arnie is left,his squad all dead,no weapons left and fighting the Pred one-on-one,isn't an option,because the fucker is too strong,even for him. So,Arnie uses his cunning,to trap the Predator,in the end he won,because he outsmarted him. The new movie on the other hand,is just a Rated-R version of Suicide Squad,with lots of ''yo momma''-jokes,CGI-blood and a story that throws the entire Predator lore,out of the window,similar to what Alien:Covenant did with the Aliens.For example,it is established,that the Preds hunt for sport,not to gather DNA or some bullshit.
@@doublep1980 yeah I don't watch a lot of movies, but I find my time is usually better spent looking up old things that we know are good rather than gambling on new shit. It doesn't help that mainstream critics are either bought or have their heads so far up their own digestive tracts that they are basically useless. On the bright side it leaves an open niche for fan content to shine :D
This movie is a perfect repesentation of what's wrong with Hollywood nowadays. Back in the day,from the late 70's to mid 90's,you could pitch an original idea to a studio and if they liked it,they would gave you a moderate budget and let you do your thing.This is how we got Star Wars,all the early Spielberg movies like E.T. ,Jaws,Strange Encounters,Indiana Jones,Terminator,Ghostbusters,Alien,Predator,Back to the Future,Robocop etc. etc. etc. Nowadays,the studios won't finance an original idea,they only make movies,based on existing IP's,like comics,videogames,books etc. or they take an older IP,like Terminator,Alien,Star Wars or here Predator and reboot/remake it and completely screw it up during the process.The only exception was Mad Max:Fury Road,because the original director/writer,George Miller made it happen,the studio was actually not interested in it and he had to struggle with them for years,to get it done.Same thing,with the Karate Kid show,Cobra Kai,which was made by 2 guys who are huge fans of the original.
doubleP side note, even mad max did it kinda wrong, soft reboot that retconed continuity an aparenty only follows after thunderdome with a different max, or it fucks up the timeline of the apocalypse several times, watch E;R's video on it for te agendas in it
Much worse. Somebody actually deliberately pondered this, thought it was awesome, wrote it down and then paid someone to act it, made the movie and released it to the world.
Some “traditional” reviewers say that mauler’s critique isn’t real criticism because he’s just describing the movie but what they don’t understand is that the best case against these movies are the movies themselves.
Makes you wonder why nobody just did what Alien did; 1st Stage: Show you how terrifying the monster is. 2nd Stage: Show you how it evolves to combat new situations. 3rd Stage: Show you how there are countless more of them. 4th Stage: Show you the Predator that hunts them for fun. 5th Stage: Repeat the above, and slowly introduce new stuff. Not really sure how this concept is really hard.
@@murciadoxial8056 They probably just got him in to sell the idea that the director is attached personally to the source material, which he saw as a way of making the whole thing in his image, instead of just being a side character in the mythos.
That film at least had a predator that acted like a predator. That moment when you can look back on AVPR as the good ol' days. Hoo lee shit, what is going on in Hollywood at the moment.
Funny thing is, Predator himself in AVPR was not bad. In fact he was done well: he was battle-scarred, he covered up tracks, he was good at taking out aliens and people (in his way). Just that the overall cheap bullshit of the movies, the human sub-plot and aliens were done miserably. The characters were some stereotypes. But I don't get how one can actually fuck up a Predator movie. You can just make a 80's style detective movie with Predator hunting drug dealers and it will be watchable.
I have watched more hours of people reviewing/ roasting the movie then watching the actual movie, it’s literally more entertaining than the movie itself 😂
You missed Dude Blokes "best" line in the film! "I'm a SNIPER, just get me CLOSE." This might be the worst film I've ever seen. . . and I actively watch Neil Breen movies.
My friend and I are huge Predator fans and we were both horrified by this movie. The main plot is about a CGI monster trying to weaponize autism. Yeah, because that's what the original makers of the first film had in mind.
"Turn your brain off. Brains are offensive to movies these days." Dude, this line applies to almost everything these days! No critical thought allowed.
weed helps a lot in that department. watched this film a few times after having a smoke and actually enjoyed it, watched it sober and well oh well very very very different story, sat there thinking i am watching the right movie this is shit. since been removed, and as no longer smoke no longer ever going to entertain this film.
Yeah, this. "Alien: Covenant" did that just fine, by having Walter create the Aliens. Which wrecks AvP canon, because the Aliens can't fight the Predators in the time of the Aztecs if Walter didn't create them until the 22nd/23rd century.
So fun fact: Shane Black was apparently hired to act in the original Predator because they also wanted him on board as a script doctor (I would believe given the shift from 80’s dude bro action to the Sci-Fi/Horror nature in the plot progression) He apparently did not, which was why his character died the soonest. So the original Predator had minimal writing input from Shane Black, who had his role dealt with the fastest. Now compare how this film plays out with him as the director outright and you realize we didn’t dodge a bullet, but a mortar
Great fan of you, MauLer! This is one of your best videos, and it always makes me smile. As a writer, I thoroughly enjoy your rants and analysis alike. Keep up the good work!
I also want to mention how the predator that came to "save" the humans, landed the first thing he did was kill a man and hang him upside down from a tree.
Actually weaponize autism. Brilliant. The irony of this is amazing tho. My brother is on the spectrum and we recently watched the first 6 mcu movies and he pointed out all of the plot holes and inconsistencies. He would obliterate this movie.
Well most people with Asperger's don't act like weird space aliens, they act like social awkward/impaired people. Intellectually, most of them are right around where most people are, plus or minus a few IQ points, they just don't do well in social situations. They are poor at picking up social cues, reading body language, and understanding how non-verbal communication works, but that's about it. They aren't known for acting like they are completely out of touch with reality, like some of the more extreme forms of Autism can do to someone. It's a weird choice because people with Asperger's are decidedly the least "alien" out of all the people on the spectrum, and I say that trying to be as respectful as I can be to such individuals.
Seriously though. Where in the movie did it say he actually had Asperger? The kids call him assburgers, but that could just be a way to pick on him. I dont remember the movie actually saying he had aspergers. He didn't seem like one with aspergers imo.
@@TheBarser of course he doesnt act like someone who is actually on the spectrum would. The writers clearly have no idea what they're doing. It's heavily implied that he is tho. Talking about how autism is the next step in human evolution (one of best retarded statements in the long list of scientifically illiterate shit movies have these days).
Oh dear lord you hit one of the biggest issues for me in pretty much EVERY SINGLE FILM. The heroes are unarmed but get attacked by highly trained soldiers and they manage to somehow defeat said soldiers, and then, knowing that they're likely to encounter more soldiers, they wisely LEAVE THE WEAPONS OF THE GUYS THEY JUST KILLED LAYING ON THE GROUND. And then! Scenes where someone is shooting at another person, I don't care if they are shooting with a pistol or rifle, it seems the weapons don't work unless you're firing while aggressively stepping into melee range of your target. Really?! Like you know that guns work best from a distance. Meaning you can hit your target while stepping away from them. But no! Let's completely remove the benefits of a ranged weapon so the hero can win with a sword. 🤦♂️
"The Predator" also breaks the entire idea of the "Predators" where they kidnap talented people off earth and bring them to an uninhabited planet to hunt them.
To me at least the whole 'abduct the people we want to hunt and drop them on a pre-prepared hunting planet' that was the basis of Predators seemed like a direct result of Predator 2 with the humans becoming a bit too "informed" about them (The whole shadowy government agency that tries to capture the predator in the second film) as if they were trying to get around having to fight through ranks of tacticool mooks to get to the guys they actually wanted to hunt in the first place.
If I remember correctly the Yautja have a caste/class system and the "Nobles" just kidnap people to hunt them on planets, while "Common" Yautja have to go to planets to hunt. .... Now this makes me want to read up on the Predator lore again.
@@frenchsoldier8485 They were members of so called bad blood. That means they were bunch of criminals and outcasts from Yautja civilisation. And i belive that not all of them were members of same sub-spiecies
"Predator Fans are the one demographic who'll utterly dispise this movie." You nailed it. I am a Die hard Predator Fan and I Hate. This. Piece. Of. Hot. Smoking. Grabage!!!! It doesnt even deserve to be called a movie. Even if it wasnt a Predator movie, it would be trash. It took me 3 attempts to watch this movie until the ending and I got drunk each time, because I could not bare it sober.....
Predator - amazing! Predator 2 - pretty good AvP - guilty pleasure but honestly pretty good and a new story for both aliens and predators. AvPR- no Predators- really good, and a clever way to retell the predator story. The Predator- this movie makes me root for the predator while killing people, because these people are so stupid....
Gotta love MauLer. Not only he saves you from wasting money on garbage movies but he makes hour long videos about them that make you have dozens times better experience than on subject movies. Props to you friend.
Fun fact: Newt and Ripley were going to appear at the end of this film due to time-travelling, and they were going to be Predator-hunters. Wrap your head around that shit. Also, I still hate that Dutch, Harrigan, Isabella and Royce didn't show up in this film.

I was the whole movie yearning for Gary Busey from Predator 2.
"The final act took place in daylight, and that wasn't scary."
Shane Black, a man who was part /of/ the original Predator, a movie in which 3/4 of it takes place during broad daylight and is one of the tensest, most anxiety inducing experiences of all film history, has decided "Muh Daylight = Muh Boring". Well done, sir. Well done, managing to forget the lessons of the cinematic classic YOU WERE FUCKING IN.
Maybe Shane had some “ideas” and that was part of the reason Hawkins was killed first 😂
The scene where the Predator kills Mac and Apollo Creed (can't remember his name right now lol) is one of the scariest in the movie and it happens in broad daylight
_"Anytime"_
@@megamovieman101 The only reason he was in the film was to do re-writes on the script. So he wrote a large chunk of the original movie. Which makes this movie even more baffling.
he also didnt learn from AvP2 that was also set at night and ended up being so dark to a point were i thought my Tv had turned off
I imagine he was huffing paint thinner throughout the entire filming.

The idea of changing Predator lore to make it more... grand in scope(?) kind of goes against what made Predator so effective in the first place. The basic idea is that they didn't see us as much more than sport. We were collateral damage in their rituals or hobbies. It's upsetting. It makes you really root for the human.
its like if we put 50 Doom guys instead of just 1 (the player)
Thats also the problem with the new shitty alien movies. Predator was a mysterious and monstrous alien that came to earth to hunt for sport. We dont need to know more. More takes away the mystery and if written like this makes it fucking stupid. Same with Alien. First its some mysterious xeno found on some destroyed alien ship. It made you contemplate the unknown horrors of space and how this creature was a perfectly evolved apex predator. The rest was up to your imagination. Then the new movies made them bio weapons made by an insane robot. I personally love the idea that somewhere in the galaxy there could be planets with these apex predators like xenomorphs and that things even worse could be lurking. But no Ridley Scott just said, “lol so like these big pale bald guys made humans and then made a bioweapon that creates xenomorphs lol”
" he was predator jesus" line made me spit out my coffee. Nice one Mauler.
You skipped over one of the dumbest things in movie history. When the girl goes to the Stargazer lab they show her a tablet with still images from P1 and P2. The P1 image is when it emerged from the water and couldn’t see Dutch covered in mud... as if someone was there and took that photo.
What in the actual fuck.
At this point I am willing to believe Hollywood has been taken over by shape shifting aliens with no concept of human culture and no ability to construct a story. These scripts would of got rejected as B movies back in any day.
No way! You're making that shit up! They can't POSSIBLY have been THAT stupid to actually put that in the movie! Please tell me you're joking!
That's dumb, but it is a really common sequel cliche.
Lol, what the fuck! xD
You know, I have Asperger's Syndrome, and I'm been around for a good while (in my final year of high school), so I can say with confidence... that this movie really is an insult to my condition. The only "superpower" I have is the ability to work out certain math equations in my head with few difficulties- sometimes. Beyond that, it is nothing but a problem for me, making it hard for me to speak in complete sentences without stuttering, to be able to connect with people on any meaningful level, and to break out of regular daily patterns without becoming anxious. I do bad in crowds, and I sadly cannot memorize patterns like other people with my condition can apparently do (especially not to the bullshit levels presented in this film). My only saving grace is that I have been lucky and have not been bullied for my condition, because if I was, I'm not sure how I would react (probably either burst into tears or throw a punch of punches out of anger). I know people think they are encouraging people like me when they write characters like this, but they never get it right, because they fail to acknowledge the drawbacks of Asperger's Syndrome, and instead make characters with only the good parts, exaggerated to the point where it is unrealistic and just disrespectful.
I have been trying my hand at writing fantasy novels lately, and I like to think I can write some decent stories on my rough drafts alone. When I make a world, I always write out the rules, so that even if my story becomes a bit contrived, it does not break its rules. I do my best to make sure events flow from scene to scene, and while my foreshadowing skills need work, I do at least make sure the setups make sense. How people like this can get jobs in Hollywood, or any other film studios, with such obvious little care for lore, consistency, and dialogue is baffling to me. I know that I at least try, and the people I show my stories to can tell I try even if they don't like what I wrote- these people put no effort into their stories and try to cover it up with cool effects instead of checking the script. If the story sounds bad on paper before you cover it up with "amazing" effects, then the story should never be produced (yet they still do, somehow).
Mauler, you have done a fantastic job with all of your rages and critiques, for movies and otherwise, and you have brought me much joy. You are helping my critical thinking skills for story telling, and have provided me with all the evidence I need for my friends when I tell them I hate Disney Star Wars (am loving the Legends Novels so far, though- I'm on a mission to get as many as I can). Thank you for all the work you put into these videos, and sorry if I ranted a bit. I look forward to your critique of TFA.
"How people like this can get jobs in Hollywood, or any other film studios, with such obvious little care for lore, consistency, and dialogue is baffling to me" simple, it's all about brand recognition at this point, which is really sad.

@@alansilvero it's all about dem connections at this point. How some people are even allowed to make movies such as the guy who directed the movie chips is all because they have connections.
I was just going to comment that this film is probably offensive to people with certain mental disorders. Thanks for confirming.
ProfessorFanatic I see that you like DnD. If you don't already play I suggest that you do. However I would also suggest you play as the DM. Playing as the DM is a great way to learn interpersonal skills. It can be a trail by fire and passions can run high but it's worth it. Autism isn't a chain to a wall keeping you separated from others. It's a weight for sure, it will slow you down and it never goes away for good. But the focus and will power it takes to pull that weight will make you stronger.

Heh in some ways it's true. A lot of movies seem to skip on the details nowadays (Star Wars: TLJ is probably the best example of this) which might be excusable in SMALL amounts, but these amounts are by no means SMALL in a lot of new movies.

How hard would it have been just to make a sequel to Predators? A movie about Adrian Brody's character trying to get off that planet would have been interesting.
Say what you will about the casting of Adrien, but he and everyone else in Predators most definitely outdid every actor is this shitshow with all their performances. Everyone’s lines and delivery and piss-poor acting in this “movie” literally made me cringe and unintentionally laugh from beginning to end.

@@sologamer3122 At the end of Predators new people were parachuting in.
@marcespinoza6068 ah you're right I remember now.
I would love a predator movie set in the future. Mankind is starting to colonize planets. We have a group of space marines on an outer rim world outpost protecting the engineers there that are prepping it for a colony. Little did we know this planet is close to Predator space. A predator arrives and begins hunting a fearsome alien species from this planet. It crosses paths with the marines and they fight. Because of our advanced weaponry and maybe augmentations or something like this, the marines are able to put him down with minimal casualties. They caught him off guard not expecting human soldiers and his gear was for fighting an alien beast. Before he dies from wounds he sends a SOS and his helmet feed to his fleet. Then a squad of armored and more prepared Predators come to the planet and just wreck havoc.
The Predator was on TV last Friday, and I watched it.
Even after seeing this review (and others), I was still astounded how shit it actually is.
This whole movie sounds like something a toddler would create by saying “and then” between every event
Avakrr Lmao that is amazingly accurate for this film, like for goodness sakes just space out your events with full stops or something or else your audience is lost
Right on
That’s how I felt about every predator movie since predator 2.
And then a spaceship comes and then the predator wakes up and then the prisoners escape and then they fight the predator and then the predator kills the other predator
@@kieranschafer5180 and then the lobotomized predator dog spits out a grenade...
If you wanna see something that is actually like that take a look at "Axe Cop", it's literally the ideas and stories of a 5 year old made into a webcomic, and it's better than this.
Remember when the Predator was an alien hunter that considered earthlings lesser beings with enough intelligence to be a decent hunt. Using it's greater technology to stalk, toy with and manipulate it's human prey. A creature of honour, that would not hunt something that couldn't fight back, only those with weapons. A creature that would eschew it's high tech blaster and tools to fight hand to hand, if it's prey threw it's gun away and drew a knife in futile challenge?
One that if you were able to defeat it's Brethren, it would acknowledge your ability, and gift you one of it's many trophy weapons gathered throughout the ages, before leaving in mutual respect?

Wait, question. Do you deliver your own mail? Or is there an endless chain of mailmen delivering other mailmens mail?
Then you could have a mailman open it by error and the movie would center around a mailman trying to bravely deliver his daily quota while being chased by all predator, government and specops versions.

I'm convinced that Olivia Munn never reads the scripts before accepting a role; especially not her own part.

I saw a documentary about making every Hellraiser movie. The writer and director for one of the sequels, maybe the 5th film, was being interviewed and admitted he had never seen any Hellraiser movie. They hire him to write and direct a sequel and he had never seen a Hellraiser film. Even worse, he couldn't be bothered to watch even one of them. Instead he hired another guy to watch the Hellraiser movies and tell him the basic story, like cliff notes, so he could write another sequel. Summary: "Puzzle Cube opens BDSM demon portal, people die" Add a zip of cocaine and they write a script. This scenario explains Hollywood films today.

Well, you convinced me to finally see the original predator movie.
It was fantastic. I'm glad I watched that instead of this piece of trash
The original movie is a modern classic,because it's a very subversive movie.The guys from RLM made a fantastic analysis about it.
The movie starts out,as your typical 80's action flick,with macho commandos,going to a mission into the jungle and then turns into a slasher,but with the twist,that the killer is not some Jason or Michael Myers character,but a beefed up alien,armed with some awesome tech. You see these manly men ,losing their shit,as they're getting murdered one by one,by the Pred. In the end only Arnie is left,his squad all dead,no weapons left and fighting the Pred one-on-one,isn't an option,because the fucker is too strong,even for him. So,Arnie uses his cunning,to trap the Predator,in the end he won,because he outsmarted him.
The new movie on the other hand,is just a Rated-R version of Suicide Squad,with lots of ''yo momma''-jokes,CGI-blood and a story that throws the entire Predator lore,out of the window,similar to what Alien:Covenant did with the Aliens.For example,it is established,that the Preds hunt for sport,not to gather DNA or some bullshit.

+doubleP and dont forget, it was more than just subversive because nobody knew predator back then.
This movie is a perfect repesentation of what's wrong with Hollywood nowadays.
Back in the day,from the late 70's to mid 90's,you could pitch an original idea to a studio and if they liked it,they would gave you a moderate budget and let you do your thing.This is how we got Star Wars,all the early Spielberg movies like E.T. ,Jaws,Strange Encounters,Indiana Jones,Terminator,Ghostbusters,Alien,Predator,Back to the Future,Robocop etc. etc. etc.
Nowadays,the studios won't finance an original idea,they only make movies,based on existing IP's,like comics,videogames,books etc. or they take an older IP,like Terminator,Alien,Star Wars or here Predator and reboot/remake it and completely screw it up during the process.The only exception was Mad Max:Fury Road,because the original director/writer,George Miller made it happen,the studio was actually not interested in it and he had to struggle with them for years,to get it done.Same thing,with the Karate Kid show,Cobra Kai,which was made by 2 guys who are huge fans of the original.
doubleP side note, even mad max did it kinda wrong, soft reboot that retconed continuity an aparenty only follows after thunderdome with a different max, or it fucks up the timeline of the apocalypse several times, watch E;R's video on it for te agendas in it

Makes you wonder why nobody just did what Alien did;
1st Stage: Show you how terrifying the monster is.
2nd Stage: Show you how it evolves to combat new situations.

That film at least had a predator that acted like a predator. That moment when you can look back on AVPR as the good ol' days. Hoo lee shit, what is going on in Hollywood at the moment.
It saddens me that I don't even have the heart to argue which is worse. They were both huge letdowns.
Funny thing is, Predator himself in AVPR was not bad. In fact he was done well: he was battle-scarred, he covered up tracks, he was good at taking out aliens and people (in his way). Just that the overall cheap bullshit of the movies, the human sub-plot and aliens were done miserably. The characters were some stereotypes.

"You even tried to fuck up the AVP films! 'THEY DO NOT NEED YOUR HELP FOR THAT!'" Best line ever.
Yeah, this. "Alien: Covenant" did that just fine, by having Walter create the Aliens. Which wrecks AvP canon, because the Aliens can't fight the Predators in the time of the Aztecs if Walter didn't create them until the 22nd/23rd century.
What's wrong with them? I've only seen 1 and 2.
@@KneelB4Bacon well AVP is a separate canon. Like Freddy vs Jason.
At least those films adhered to Predator lore and built upon it in interesting ways.
I hope we get to see Prey: An Unbridled Praise in the coming weeks. Predator (2018) is a disgrace, the franchise deserves better.
Look up EFAP 198 they do a great job at breaking it down
So fun fact: Shane Black was apparently hired to act in the original Predator because they also wanted him on board as a script doctor (I would believe given the shift from 80’s dude bro action to the Sci-Fi/Horror nature in the plot progression)
He apparently did not, which was why his character died the soonest. So the original Predator had minimal writing input from Shane Black, who had his role dealt with the fastest. Now compare how this film plays out with him as the director outright and you realize we didn’t dodge a bullet, but a mortar
*Someone actually wrote this.*

This actually happens in the film.
The new "What were they thinking?"
@@thrallfan1056 this comment warms my heart
Because FUCK YOU
"God damn I wish I had asperger's"
- Predator
I wish I had THAT asspergers. The one I have sucks.
I'd like one order of aspe-assburgers please, one with extra evolution.
I still sometimes come back as if to remind myself that this is something that was approved, filmed and aired. This actually got to be made.
Producer: Any ideas for a predator movie?
Writer: Well no, but perhaps if we put a thousand chimps in a room with typewriters.....
I just can't believe they actually johnson'd the Predator franchise....
Munson'd
I saw what you did there. WCB, baby!!!

Quiet you manchild!
Good call.
God, at this point, MauLer's videos are my safe space. lmao
Richard Birrittella I prefer his mockery of movies more than the movies themselves.
Benjamin Kemer Indeed.
No place is safe. :(
I'm glad Shane Black made this shit show if only for the MauLer vid
Mine too!
Great fan of you, MauLer! This is one of your best videos, and it always makes me smile. As a writer, I thoroughly enjoy your rants and analysis alike. Keep up the good work!
I seriously can't believe the same guy who made this stinker of a film also directed The Nice Guys, an incredibly awesome throwback to buddy comedies.
I also want to mention how the predator that came to "save" the humans, landed the first thing he did was kill a man and hang him upside down from a tree.
habits.. i guess
Oh shit...
Ah, it's just one. Just leave it there and maybe they blame Someone else... Before THEY get here.
It's almost as if its second nature for a Predator to kill and hunt.
"Human, your world is going to burn soon. So I'm here to save you!"
"By ripping out my spine?!"
"You are being saved. Don't resist."
@@Umbra_Ursus Well Said. Awesome
A kid with aspergers managed to defeat a Predator, that’s the sign that we have hit rock bottom with this series.
Or, and just hear me out...
Aliens are autistic.
So we should DOUBLE EXTERMINATUS the mentally incapable xenos!
FOR THE GOD EMPEROR!

Remember, "bad movie" can be an offensive term.
Refer to them as "screenwriting-challenged".
How can a phrase "I'm hungry for some ass burgers" be anything but him coming onto the nerd kid?
The Decker Shado clip near the end was a good addition
His reveiws are pretty great too.
Actually weaponize autism. Brilliant. The irony of this is amazing tho. My brother is on the spectrum and we recently watched the first 6 mcu movies and he pointed out all of the plot holes and inconsistencies. He would obliterate this movie.
And they chose aspergers of all things too. Thats just strange. If he was rain man autistic fine. But aspergers isnt a "hack alien technology" autism.
Well most people with Asperger's don't act like weird space aliens, they act like social awkward/impaired people. Intellectually, most of them are right around where most people are, plus or minus a few IQ points, they just don't do well in social situations. They are poor at picking up social cues, reading body language, and understanding how non-verbal communication works, but that's about it. They aren't known for acting like they are completely out of touch with reality, like some of the more extreme forms of Autism can do to someone. It's a weird choice because people with Asperger's are decidedly the least "alien" out of all the people on the spectrum, and I say that trying to be as respectful as I can be to such individuals.
@Lil toot your a pussy
Seriously though. Where in the movie did it say he actually had Asperger? The kids call him assburgers, but that could just be a way to pick on him. I dont remember the movie actually saying he had aspergers. He didn't seem like one with aspergers imo.
@@TheBarser of course he doesnt act like someone who is actually on the spectrum would. The writers clearly have no idea what they're doing. It's heavily implied that he is tho. Talking about how autism is the next step in human evolution (one of best retarded statements in the long list of scientifically illiterate shit movies have these days).
"The Last Jedi of the Predator franchise" - Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
No cow milk scene 0/10
Well that farnchise was already dead long ago so... didn't do too much damage
Which one? Star Wars or Predator?
Moreso The Force Awakens, where it makes everything about the original story pointless.
We got the milk boy anyway so all good.
Oh dear lord you hit one of the biggest issues for me in pretty much EVERY SINGLE FILM. The heroes are unarmed but get attacked by highly trained soldiers and they manage to somehow defeat said soldiers, and then, knowing that they're likely to encounter more soldiers, they wisely LEAVE THE WEAPONS OF THE GUYS THEY JUST KILLED LAYING ON THE GROUND. And then! Scenes where someone is shooting at another person, I don't care if they are shooting with a pistol or rifle, it seems the weapons don't work unless you're firing while aggressively stepping into melee range of your target. Really?! Like you know that guns work best from a distance. Meaning you can hit your target while stepping away from them. But no! Let's completely remove the benefits of a ranged weapon so the hero can win with a sword. 🤦♂️
God I love the unbridled rage videos. Please give us a new one as a Christmas present!!
"The Predator" also breaks the entire idea of the "Predators" where they kidnap talented people off earth and bring them to an uninhabited planet to hunt them.
To me at least the whole 'abduct the people we want to hunt and drop them on a pre-prepared hunting planet' that was the basis of Predators seemed like a direct result of Predator 2 with the humans becoming a bit too "informed" about them (The whole shadowy government agency that tries to capture the predator in the second film) as if they were trying to get around having to fight through ranks of tacticool mooks to get to the guys they actually wanted to hunt in the first place.
If I remember correctly the Yautja have a caste/class system and the "Nobles" just kidnap people to hunt them on planets, while "Common" Yautja have to go to planets to hunt. .... Now this makes me want to read up on the Predator lore again.
@@latentsymphony2746 Weren't the three Predators from Predators a sub-species of Yau'tja?
@@latentsymphony2746, that's cool, makes me want to know more too.
@@frenchsoldier8485 They were members of so called bad blood. That means they were bunch of criminals and outcasts from Yautja civilisation.
And i belive that not all of them were members of same sub-spiecies
"Predator Fans are the one demographic who'll utterly dispise this movie."
You nailed it. I am a Die hard Predator Fan and I Hate. This. Piece. Of. Hot. Smoking. Grabage!!!! It doesnt even deserve to be called a movie. Even if it wasnt a Predator movie, it would be trash. It took me 3 attempts to watch this movie until the ending and I got drunk each time, because I could not bare it sober.....
Sounds like me with The Hobbit movies.
A Predator killed Shane Black in the first movie and he got his revenge by killing the whole franchise.
Predator - amazing!
Predator 2 - pretty good
AvP - guilty pleasure but honestly pretty good and a new story for both aliens and predators.
AvPR- no
Predators- really good, and a clever way to retell the predator story.
The Predator- this movie makes me root for the predator while killing people, because these people are so stupid....
Nice to find someone else who enjoyed Predators.
Stop making sequels … just stop
Gotta love MauLer. Not only he saves you from wasting money on garbage movies but he makes hour long videos about them that make you have dozens times better experience than on subject movies. Props to you friend.
Kidzin MauLer’s channel is a Cinema in of itself
Honestly if you are avoiding movies cause of this guy then you are truly robbing yourself
@@grampagohan3385 who decided that? You? People could still go and see the movie to see if he's right or wrong.

"Who wrote this movie???"
The most desperate question of 2010s.
Still in 2020!
@@Ramsey276one Damn straight.
I don't know why they didn't continue the Predators storyline. At least it had potential
You can never have too many cutaways to Bill Paxton!
I will never consider this new lore as canon. Covenant pushed me hard enough but this is where I draw the line.
Really? I drew the line at AVP.
I don't think they were considered canon anyways, whereas these modern abominations are sequels/prequels to the official stories...
At the line "whose only goal is to weaponize autism." I lost it.
I always go back to watch this video, it is really entertaining. Mauler is awesome; please never change.
Fun fact: Newt and Ripley were going to appear at the end of this film due to time-travelling, and they were going to be Predator-hunters.
Wrap your head around that shit.
Also, I still hate that Dutch, Harrigan, Isabella and Royce didn't show up in this film.
The Ripley/Newt stuff absolutely makes no sense to even be thought of being included in this ridiculous film.
