Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species.

The Predator Ratings & Reviews
- Billy ZaneJanuary 10, 2025I feel like I watched a different movie than all the reviewers did. It definitely has a different tone than the other movies, but if you like Shane Black dark humor it’s great.
- Steve TrezzaMay 30, 2025I'd give it no stars if I could
- gro580December 23, 2025Ignore the reviews from those with a sense of humor bypass. This is a great fun romp in the Predator universe :)
- theLillyPadJanuary 19, 2026Who let this movie get released? In competition with Badlands for the worst in the franchise, this is very bad for very different reasons. The key-jangling references to better movies is annoying and I never believe the bonds between most of these characters are formed so quickly. Watching it feels like those awful Sony Spider-Man spin-offs that are made to maintain the franchise. I wonder if this project wasn't made under similar circumstances. Finally, who's idea was it to throw an Autistic 10 year old to witness first-hand the carnage of a predator?! This leads nowhere good. Firstly, his nonchalaunt responses to the gore is genuienly chilling. Second of all, they rely on the offensive trope of autism being a superpower, and--like everything else in this movie--it's not done subtly. Furthermore, they forgot to have the Predator hunt anything until the last 20 minutes, and then for like 5 min. The Marvel-style quippy humor is frustrating, distracting, and annoying.
- Zokkiie7d agoReally hooks you at the start, with energy, clever moments, and some surprisingly fun action. The middle drags a little, relying on familiar beats, but it still has enough charm and performances that keep it watchable. By the end, though, it gets chaotic and overstuffed, with plot points and set pieces that feel rushed and sloppy. There’s a lot of ambition and flashes of fun, but it’s uneven enough that the good parts don’t quite outweigh the bad.
- iambumpfelDecember 22, 2025Awful dialogue, an overload of comic relief, impossible timings and continuity, as seen in many low quality flicks... Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
- GrimeFiVideoJuly 9, 2025This movie is very stupid, with tons of inconsistencies and jokes that don’t land, but it’s a fun time if you don’t take it seriously.
- jonnyf23May 19, 2025Great cast. Terrible writing. Could have been so much better.
- Mister ArnDecember 16, 2025The Predator is a film that loses confidence in the original Predator's basic idea, instead of trusting the primal simplicity that made Predator endure. This film keeps trying to explain, modernize, joke, and out-smart its own premise, where the Predator played by its own code. Here, that code is muddled, constantly interrupted by jokes, tonal shifts, and an added child.
- William SchaeferJuly 30, 2025This movie is not good. It's overly campy and hurts the feel and terror of what the Predator was before. It has some neat ideas but it's so silly that you can't take any of them seriously.
- madz26December 4, 2025Badly written. This is a Predator franchise killer.
- VandytNovember 15, 2025An insult to the franchise, completely fitting for one of the worst decades in film history
- DisentNovember 13, 2025This movie is literally the definition of weaponized autism.
- RichardOctober 7, 2025Starts off promising, some solid setup, decent tension and a few fun character beats. But halfway through, it veers into full on chaos. Feels like two different movies stitched together: one trying to be gritty sci fi horror, the other a campy action comedy with forced jokes and weird tone shifts. The cast gives it their all and there are cool ideas buried in there, but the story keeps tripping over itself. By the end, it’s hard to tell what it was even aiming for. Shame, because the potential was there.
- flybeSeptember 5, 2025Entertaining but sloppy. I dislike characters making non-sensical decisions to fit the plot and the dialogue isn’t really high class either. Story is contrived and nonsense. But as a dumb action flick it got some value.
