Predator: Badlands - SPOILERS, STUPIDEST Moments & PLOT HOLES!

Quick Overview

The reviewers express strong disapproval of the final act of Predator: Badlands, particularly criticizing the use of a poorly executed CGI creature (the 'ugly little monkey pug') to save the main characters and the illogical decision by the Predator to spare the main character's brother, which breaks established Predator lore regarding their honorable hunting code, leading to a lower overall rating for the film's conclusion.

Key Points: The reviewers heavily criticize the final act of Predator: Badlands, specifically disliking the introduction of a CGI creature that defeats the main antagonist, which felt like a narrative cheat. The main character, Naru, is praised for ultimately defeating the Predator using her wits and the creature's own technology, such as the glass blade on the power loader, which was considered a high point. One reviewer strongly objects to the Predator sparing the main character's brother because the Predator's established lore dictates they only spare those who defeat them honorably, not based on sentimentality towards family. The final battle sequence is deemed 'dramatic' but ultimately flawed by the introduction of the CGI creature, which felt like a lazy narrative device to resolve the conflict. The reviewer who disliked the ending stated they would not rewatch the film due to the disappointing resolution, despite liking the initial setup and the creature's design. The discussion touches on the Predator's technology, noting that the synthetic eels that spit acid and the shoulder cannon were used effectively, but the final resolution felt unearned. The consensus is that while the film started strong, the ending, particularly the survival of the brother and the introduction of the CGI creature, severely lowered the overall enjoyment and rating.
