WTF Happened to Shane Black’s THE PREDATOR (2018)?



WTF Happened To This Movie? – The JoBlo series that looks at troubled productions, curious creative decisions, box-office failures, surprising successes, and cult favorites!

Fans of Fox’s lethal alien hunters were thrilled to learn that Shane Black would relaunch the PREDATOR franchise! The guy who made faves like KISS KISS BANG BANG and IRON MAN 3, and even tangled with the extraterrestrial himself back in the original 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, seemed like a perfect fit. But a leaked plot, questionable ideas, extensive reshoots, post-production controversy, and harsh critical and audience response all combined to decapitate Black’s 2018 reboot. Sharpen your claws and find out “WTF Happened to THE PREDATOR (2018)!”

The practical effects of the first 2 Predator movies looks so much better than the CGI they used in this movie. It really looked bad 👎I think practical effects look better most of the time
@andrewhosuer3846 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
This movie sucked
@gennavandella October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
wtf happened is, the wrong people was involved in this project. and by people i mean everyone even the cast
@danielhutchison7259 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
God damnit YouTube I locked this crappy movie behind a wall in my brain to forget about it and your algorithm reminded me of it
@supermegadong7597 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
“Nebraska” was such a ridiculous character, any time something would happen “I was a contractor””you aren’t the only sniper” bro just happened to dabble in every job category apparently. Also why did the predator attack those people instead of trying to talk to them to give them the new tech? Made no sense
@MartyMcFly88 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Predator, Predator 2, Predators and Prey are the best. AVP was decent but should have been rated R. AVP Requiem and The Predator are garbage!
@captaindan3456 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I think Shane Black never watched the finished movie of Predator. He just told his pussy jokes then died. Maybe he thought that's what the rest of the movie was too?
@nicholasbennett7367 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
God this movie was such disrespect to the fans.
@Havok91 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
At least the segment at 10:20 would've made the jarring shift in Predator hunting "motivations" a little easier to swallow. The comics have LONG since fleshed out the Predator Code of Honor, which holds hybrids as abominations and tasks elite Predators with hunting them down and exterminating them at any cost. Allying with humans to take down the abomination (no, it was not a cool design) would've been right in line with that theme and made Shane seem like a semi-competent writer.
@christopherallen6134 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I wished I was convinced enough to not watch this movie.
@WasiuGiwa-ul4hs October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Sorry but Shane black is not a good writer he ruined the Ironman trilogy adding to much comedy and ruined predator that is supposed to be scary he should leave franchise films alone and make original films or sitcoms he should write for family guy or the Simpsons they need his service he is no longer blockbuster material
@skwisgarskwigelf7191 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
This movie leaned a bit too hard into comedy
@justinwilliam4644 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Hey man jai courtney is kinda cool, die hard, jack reacher..
@sonamdaduldorjee1203 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Shit 'appens!
@pauljones2899 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
It was like a cross between the A Team and the Goonies
Watched it again the other day n forgot how bad it was
@TheRealGreeble October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Shane Hack! This film is so straight up terrible it makes AVP look good. I can't even bring myself to watch clips of it, it's so dumb and cringey. Can Disney wipe it from existence like they did with Willow series? Prey was good, not great, but this p.o.s film made it look like a masterpiece!
@Johny40Se7en October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
As is the case with most Hollywood films, this was a victim of truly shoddy, lazy writing. A truly wasted potential, especially with a cast like that. Thomas Jane and Shane Black FFS, they could have done amazing things with them on board.
@wisdomincoming12 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Shane will forever be a weirdo cuck for this movie
@stuarthooper1956 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Ultimate hunting machine getting killed by jive arse attitude humans, its so stupid.
@mrrictus October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
There is a plot hole that this film never acknowledges because of the reshoots.
@itstim8690 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
This movie is beyond flawed.. Just lazy and rushed as most movies have become.
@Antihero297 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I watched it for the first time last night and was amazed how bad it is. Shane Black pulled a Taika Waititi or a Rian Johnson and killed this movie with an overdose of inappropriate, almost 4th wall breaking humor. I give Paul W.S Anderson's AvP a solid 5/10. At least it didn't feel like Anderson only made the movie to amuse himself. I give The Predator 2/10 if I'm being generous.
@SSS.1984 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
The Predator made Alien Resurrection look like high art by comparison. The Predator felt like they tried to do a remix album of a band's greatrst hits & they completely fucked it up! It's has the Predator on Predator action from Predators, the urban setting from Predator 2 & the wisecracking soldiers from the original. But while these elements could & should have made for an agreeable enough romp the film constantly shoots itself in the foot with nonsensical plotting, laughable casting choices & really bad CGI!
@gregwright2059 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
This movie objectively sucked! An overly complicated terrible plot, bad cgi, awful predator design (especially the face & mandibles), the upgrade predator was trash & the characters were awful.

A biologist jumping on moving busses with a big ass gun chasing a predator? That's such BS.

Worst is that they overexposed the predator, had him running in an open field not in camouflage. Seriously?? The humor sucked too. Its the worst predator movie IMO.

Such a terrible letdown..
@mattfm101 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I like this film and see it as a good alt reality version of the universe
@justinwilliam4644 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Predators is awesome 👍
@markmorris6721 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Question – what happened?
Answer – Olivia Munn
Next question
@adny02 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I never knew this movie existed!
@ChristopherTheBright October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I loved this movie 😌 Predator just isn't scary anymore. Prey wasn't scary.

Prey felt alone and isolated like another standalone Predator movie, where at the end of the movie nothing matters. "There will probably be a reference to some artifact passed onto a future character." Woopty doo, I was right. Glover's flintlock. Woooow.

Shane Black attempted to world build. He had great side characters. Most of them were competent enough to engage in a memorable battle, whereas the indians were not memorable at all (except for the brother and main), who solely seemed to serve as feminist exposition rage. Bullying the girl made me roll my eyes. If the purpose is to make me cheer for the Predator going on a spree, then you've already effectively nullified any sense of "horror" that so many in the comments are citing. Prey can't be scary. Maybe if we all got Men In Black neuralyzed it could be freaky, but the truth is we've seen our boi like at least six times now across all sorts of mediums, even games. There is nothing you can type that will change that.

The truth is Shane Black's Predator was fantastic and is downright better in every single way :)
✅Meaningful characters
✅Fun human antagonist with charisma
✅ Alien antagonist is unnerving
✅Most characters don't die like dorks
✅World builds the Predator universe
✅Doesn't follow the "LAST ACTION HERO vs PREDADUR" pattern (What do you want, Jake Sully vs Predator?)
✅Stirred genuine curiosity to see what possibly could have started a Pred civil war, making me want more Pred.

Shane Black is just ahead of the game, Last Jedi lovers😌
@KimberlyPinkney October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I still liked the movie, though...😅
@nerdmaster6976 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
They did a good job with the 2018 movie it has it's flaw but still well worth seeing continue this to part 2
@Jffeeney3rd October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I’d only watch this to see the great Thomas Jane. Haven’t quite gotten around to it yet, at least not the whole thing.
@derekrwatson346 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
Not sure what happened, but it sucked.
@rogue13131313 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
This movie was absolutely terrible...the fact its at all associated with the original, PERFECT Predator is a travesty.
@MelloMood1 October 1, 2024 - 2:45 pm
I recently watched this movie and it was not good.......the 1st Alien vs Predator and Predators were 10 times better than this one.
