The Predator (2018) *1/2

After a second viewing of The Predator (2018) (my initial review here), my thoughts from the first time are not only confirmed, but amplified, resulting in a full star deduction. In addition to everything wrong with the film that I mentioned in my original review, add the annoyance of the dialogue constantly being delivered too quickly—including Olivia Munn's snarky delivery of every line (which really gets under my skin), callous and unnecessary killing of characters that don't deserve it (often times by our "heroes," rather than the aliens), and outdated humor that revolves around autism and Tourette's. The Predator is a tonal and total mess, populated by weak characters, messy action, and zero gravitas, that devolves into typical action movie fare by the finale (which can't arrive soon enough). Woof.
