Not sure if you are kidding, but just in case you're not: This universe has Wayland Enterprises , so there are synthetic humans. Very advanced robots that can survive something like this
Tiny octopus watched this on the flight to LA, and it was not what he was expecting at all. Very much Predator: Road Trip. Also, the legs actress did a fantastic job.
I thought the whole movie was great but I didn’t quite buy the legs kicking ass bit. Same problem I have with tiny-woman-beats-up-big-tough-guys-by-twisting-them-around trope in other action movies. I don’t know enough about martial arts or physics to say it can’t work. Just for me it doesn’t *feel* like it would work. But it still looks cool and I enjoyed everything else in the movie
All other things being equal (Training, experience, etc) a good big person will beat a good small person virtually every time. It is hard to argue with superior weight, reach and strength.
That seems reasonable. And I know these are made up stories and the hero is usually a sexy cyborg/assassin/ninja whose superpower is that they are just *that good*. So I let my brain off the hook and just enjoy the movie
For me it’s no less silly than a hero built like Jack Reacher sitting quietly in a bar until the bad guys say “there he is! Get him!” And he wipes the floor with them (one at a time of course). “Fuck you boss. Look at that guy. *You* get him!”
She's a synthetic. In every A/P movie, they outclass humans in physical capability to the point where nitpicking a few human inches/pounds is just goofy. They're a near-unkillable machine; looking like a girl changes nothing about that.
That’s all true. I did wonder about how the legs could balance, leap, crush etc without the weight of the torso, but like you suggest, it’s all made up
It makes my eye twitch, too, but given that the dummy was/would never be seen head-on, and only used in wide-shots or if the focus was on Dek, they were like "Yep, good enough, we need to move on".
Shit, I really should rewatch that DND movie, it's so fun. B movies that want to be B movies rule. I'll probably take the wife to cold storage this weekend.
My 5 year old son and I watched it together and both enjoyed it. Was he too young to watch it, ehhh, yeah but he's used to monster movies so didn't scare him.
I’m glad you thought that through. I myself was way too immature to handle horror movies or even “scary” movies like Jurassic Park until I was closer to 14. I was 16 when I started loving horror movies.
Dan Trachtenberg was the perfect person to take over the franchise. He also did 10 Cloverfield Lane, and one of my fav Black Mirror episodes, Playtest.

This movie was hot garbage. Tried to watch it again on streaming and was glad I walked out of the theater the first time

I really wanted to like this film. I really did. Fucking hated it by the end. i wanted Predator Grylls, survive, adapt, overcome.
Instead i got Lilo and Stitch and worse Stitch. Its a shame cause visually its awesome and theres genuinely a lot of good moments in it.

I finished watching this a mere 10 minutes ago. Perfect timing. Fun movie with more humor than expected.

Not as good as the original Predator, not as good as Prey, but way better than all the others, and infinitely better than every AvP.
youreathing
Honestly AvP's main failing was the busted-ass lighting that plagued the second film. Couldn't see shit.

Correct me if im wrong, but would your organs not fall out? Even if not, I think being severed above the pelvis would cause rapid bleed out.

This movie was just fun enough to not be bothered by the Disneyfication of the Predator franchise.

And what would be the Disneyfication exactly?

The PG-13 rating and the story arc with the cute animal sidekick.
IrateWolfe
It's only PG13 because of a loophole in the MPAA rules, blood and gore only affect the rating if it's red.

Actually has good ratings on RT. I'll have to check it out. Probably already seen half of it on YouTube though.

Russia Today isn't great for film ratings. ... :D
Volpe42
I never trust that site, it's based on what the critics say and they are usually very wrong
HawkmanXLII
It's usually pretty close to imdb, plus there's the audience score. Where would you check?
Volpe42
RT has 2 scores now, right? Just in general don't trust anything the critics say.
TexMexHex
You have not.
HawkmanXLII
I'm exaggerating, but it's all over shorts right now.

What the fuck is a short?

YouTube shorts. Short videos on YouTube. It's awful, I don't recommend it.

The movie was a lot more fun than I was expecting. Predator: Buddy Cop

yeah. Knew the story it wanted to tell. Kept all the fluff to a minimum and focused on telling it in a fun way. Solid B/B+ movie.
Reminds me a bit of D&D Honor Among Thieves with its tight storytelling.

The only thing that scared me when I was 5 was the morg jumping out of the cave in the neverending story. Brrr, gave me nightmares.

At 5 years old, I knew all the words to Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." I don't judge ;)

I wanted to see that FOR YEARS, and finally saw it last year. It was amazing!

10 Cloverfield was great, I liked it a lot, and the related paradox movie. I didn't realize this was more of their work but it makes sense.
