A typical low budget B movie horror straight to DVD release. So corny and bad it actually becomes more of a comedy. Saying that the CGI wasn't half as bad as I have seen on other films. It also has a few familiar faces including Tara Reid. Good if you like low budget trashy horrors otherwise you'll want to avoid it.

Oh dear! Be afraid, very afraid...of the closet!?? It had a good opening then went down hill so quick it's unbelievable. Not scary, spooky, creepy at all. Would have been better as an 18/R rating film. I have to mention the cgi was a joke as well.....and this has 2 sequels, that's something to be afraid of!

Pleasantly Surprised
Wasn't sure what I was getting into before watching. Had a couple friends recommend it so figured why not try it. I was very presently surprised in this movie. While there was some cheesy acting and not the best cgi overall I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Hoping to see a full conclusion in another movie.

A pretty shoddy sequel with some good moments here and there
There a lot of issues that kept The Predator from being a decent movie...
The special effects are a big one. A lot of the CGI in this is pretty dodgy. Especially for gore moments. It boggles my mind why a lot of horror films these days favour CGI over practical effects. Films like Alien, and The Thing (80s) stand as a testament to how practical horror work can be truly memorable.
In The Predator however, it's looks cartoony and fake - at one point I had to check I was watching a movie from 2018!
The dog creatures also look horrible - just bland and dark grey CGI blobs with teeth.
The 'classic' Predator that we see throughout this film is for the most part a guy in a suit, and it looks way better.
The characters are also an issue. They're not on the same level as awful as the characters from Predators, but they're all just unfunny walking cliches, which is a shame as there are some talented actors involved, trying to do the best with what they've been given.
The script attempts to shoehorn in plot strands that are not particularly relative to the overall narrative, including a complete tone deaf side plot about autism, which drags down what should be a pretty straightforward story.
The action isn't too bad, pretty entertaining as far as popcorn horror blockbusters go, with some creative deaths thrown in, but once again, the films over reliance on average CGI sours it all somewhat.
The Predator is not the awful film I had heard about, but it's predictably not a scratch on the original. Maybe it's time for the franchise to wrap it up.

Not my favorite marvel movie but not my least favorite.
I went into this movie with lowered expectations because of the critic reviews. And I was plesently suprised by it. It's a fun movie with a strong female lead. The CGI is grwat and about 90% of the acting is fantastic. The beginning of the movie before they get to earth is a bit slow and boring, but after that it picks up and is very enjoyable.

Ryan Reynolds is great in his role. (1 more)
CGI is well done.
Cute and funny, but nothing substantial.
While I like Pokemon, I've never been a collector of cards or watcher of the cartoons. Still, the characters are cute and I like the idea of the competitive fights. From the trailer, the movie looked funny and cute, so I wanted to see it.
And that's basically what you get from the film. Ryan Reynolds is funny and charming as the title character. The Pokemon are cute and the CGI is well done. Yet, underneath the surface, the plot is nearly nonexistent and the acting is subpar at best.
So, is it worth watching? Yes. It's cute and funny. You'll laugh and be visually entertained. But once it's over, you realize you really gained nothing from the time spent watching.

Even in 3D and starring Scarlet Johansson, this is a convoluted mess.
I was hopeful about this one. Even took the time to make sure to watch it in 3D. I love Scarlet Johansson. Figured I had made everything possible to enjoy this film I had read many terrible reviews of. Now, 2 hours later, I just sit here empty. Sure, the movie is visually stunning. The CGI and action is well done. But all that doesn't matter without a story. Story here is convoluted and messy to say the least. There were several times when I just found myself bored and didn't care about the characters or what was happening. It's a shame something with so much potential turned into such an empty shell. Or maybe how fitting...

Won't say much here, just these words -
Goosebumps, Crazy cheering, Genuine laughs, Teary eyes(Man Up🤣) Nostalgia & Awesome!! clapclapclap
Yes, an experience I won't forget any time soon ! ♥️
I was worried about this film just been a remark of the animation Spiderman into the spider verse, as it's technically the exact same story.
Yet I find myself still trying to come to terms with the fact that literally whatever I wanted this movie to have.... was there & in fact it was way more than my expectations !! 🤯
A blockbuster for sure ace CGI fight scene and truly a masterpiece.
