You're crying about the final showdown as if every single Predator movie ever made didn't involve an obviously outmatched human managing to beat a Pred in a 1v1 situation.
This time it's a problem because.. *checks notes*.. she's a girl. OK then! [Reply]

That's a disingenuous statement, or you're part that of ilk who acts with a sense of superiority.
Ellen Ripley & Sarah Conner I had no problem with both hardened by their experience with their history which gave them knowledge and had help not pushing an agenda doing so with weaponry that could take it down. [Reply]

How is this chick any different?
She was hardened by her experience and used the knowledge she gained to beat the Predator with its own weaponry.
In case you didn't notice, she forced it to chop its own arm off with its shield, was going to spear it with its own combistick, and ultimately killed it with a shot from its own caster. [Reply]

Spoiler!
You mean how she was hopscotching around bounding from a tree after shooting the pred with flintlock pistol while he walked by her to kill the Frenchman. That's big time plot armor to push girlpower. It would've been better to make it an allegory of the tribes guerrilla stratagem with warriors who work as a sum of its parts. Then the remaining group accepting her as one of their own and the rite of passage is complete. Though the Pred should've won

The orange plant was a plot device. Its effects were established early on in the movie. Twice in fact.

Just let it go.
Based on his response, I don't think he realized that the orange flower makes you invisible to the Pred. I'm guessing the version he was watching made her into Sue Storm? Not sure, but yeah, you may have been watching a different movie. [Reply]
The bear fight was definitely my favorite kill but it was closely followed by the net kill and when he hawked down the pretty boy in the open field and just slaughtered him in an explosion of blood. [Reply]

Wokeness has become such a part of cinema that it's difficult to separate the two nowadays. And Hollywood no longer even tries to hide it most of the time. We're not just talking about artists sneaking in castle turrets shaped like dildos anymore. [Reply]
Watched it, enjoyed it. Of course there was some cheesy unbelievable stuff in there but that goes with the territory. The entire franchise is a a bunch of mindless fun movies, and this one was lighter on the mindless and heavier on the fun. I don't know how else they could have squeaked out yet another sequel that would have been in any way interesting at all. [Reply]
