Gary's face in this review is just absolute gold lol
Gary's tortured face throughout the video... I sympathize with you mate, but it's COMEDY GOLD!!!
It’s just a punch of pussy jokes and humor at the wrong places
Had me literally in tears!😂😂😂😂
Saw this at the theater. I was broken...this film is an embarrassment
my favorite shane black line "i'm a sniper, just get me close" showing he obviously has 0 clue what a sniper actually does.
Even guns have a limited range. A sniper has a finite distance from which to shoot. Ergo, what he means by "get me close" is "get me within range." Still a clumsy-ass line, though.
I'm a boxer. Get me two blocks away!
@@williamhiers1280 A sniper can shoot from 2 mile. That isn't close
Then people say Predator 2 was bad....have you seen the 2018 Predator? I don't remember Predator 2 being a freakin comedy, Danny Glover and his team were much better than these forgettable guys. Right after the ending credits, I looked at my girlfriend & said, "Jeez this movie fucking sucks” “Jeez this movie fucking sucks". She said, "Why did you say that twice?" I said, "I didn't." You see it was because of the echo in the empty abandoned theater…. Plus, Keep Fred Dekker away from sequels, he was involved with Robocop 3 and now this. I don't think Shane remembers the first movie except his scenes. "Oh I remember saying pussy jokes, yeah it was a comedy movie for sure".
LOL!
Predator 2 is the worst kind of bad. BORING. Only the last twenty minutes are worth anything. 2018 Predator can hold your attention atleast
@cody8804 Wat about de focken voodoo magic, mon?
I disagree but hey its cool if you like Predator 2018 more, fine, nothing wrong with that. I just think its a piece of shit, when you have a stupid villain who accidently kills himself, Im sorry, its garbage. Oh well, "Shiiit happens". I like the fact that Danny Glover doesn't use traps or mud as camouflage, he just beats the shit out of the Predator. Its simple, the predator killed his best friend, so its going to be personal, so stay the F**K OUT OF HIS WAY! Although there is one mistake, the Predator still sees in blue infrared vision after he removed his mask, I guess its because its too hard to see in red vision like the first film...maybe it was Voodoo Maaagic Maan.
Predator 1
Predators
Predator 2
The predator
That's my best to worst list.
Predator 2 had Bill Paxton and Gary f#ckin Busey. That allready puts it in front of predator 4 in my book.
Did Iain watch an entirely different film to the rest of the us? That's bloody-Atypical of of Iain. Thank goodness Gary said it all, with just his face. Perfect. Thanks Gary, we share your pain.
Ian get off Gary’s back. The dvd you paid for cost more then the cinema ticket.
100% on Gary's side on thisone, and damn he looks angry!
The motel room scene with Olivia Munn is basically lifted from Disney's 1935 Snow white, when the dwarves first find her asleep in their cottage.
..which is just weird
I agree with the guy on the left all the way through, he's the smartest of the reviewers
From Off The Shelf's Alien Covenant review...
Iain, referring to David's experimentation and hybridisation of human and alien on a genetic level - "I have this horrible theory that Shane Black is doing the fucking same thing with The Predator."
Gary - "I don't think it's going to be thaaaaat bad..."
Don't suppose you wanna hazard a guess at this weekend's lottery numbers?
Gary’s face thru this review is priceless!
Darkness, imprisoning gary, all that he see's, absolute horror, he cannot live, he cannot die, Trapped in himself, Body his holding cell.
Really sorry about the bad audio in this review, had to use the camera microphone as the sound recorder gave up on us.
@Lee that’s not what Tourette syndrome is I suffer from it and that is called coprolalia it’s an entirely separate condition and is extremely rare among people who have Tourette syndrome
THE PREDATOR 2018
is so bad even a microphone
doesn't want anything to do
with it
The disgust on Gary's face makes me think at times that he is about to strangle Iain lol
I don't think Iain is gonna be on the next review on account that Gary clearly wants to skin him alive. Not that I blame him. :P
Man, Ian twists himself into a knot trying to explain away the movie’s flawed logic and plot holes ... hilarious and infuriating at the same time.
I used to really like Ian. I don't what happened to him, but the way he picks apart films for the slightest BS when he doesn't like a film, for him to explain away this crap film is MINDBOGGLING.
Yeah Ian doesn't have a fucking clue what he's talking about in a majority of these reviews. It's really infuriating
I think you're all missing the point - he says he doesn't like the movie, that it's shit, but that he wasn't invested in the film, that he knew it was going to be shit, and do approached it as if it were schlock, which is definitely is.
I don't think he's wrong, just because he decided he wasn't going to be outraged at a shit movie.
I'm as baffled by Iain's take on this as Gary was. What the what?!?
This review was 5 x more entertaining than this movie
which, to be fair, is not difficult...
Ya not doing their review justice, it was funny as fuck.
Oh Gary I felt so sorry for you in this episode. I hate seeing someone invent or trying rewriting the plot of a movie to try to make the original plot make sense.
27:42
" FUCK YOU MOVIE "
that's everyone's exact
reaction
after seeing the
PREDATOR 2018
"I had to see".....
YOU OPENED THE BOX WE CAME.
The ending of the movie is truly AWFUL
You have to admit the predator in the last scene of the movie is pretty cool.
The Predator is such an awful movie, that watching it kills brain cells. Iain actually liking and defending this garbage is proof of that.
Gary's expressions in this review are priceless :D The 11 foot tall predator kind of reminded me of Rawhead Rex
You want a good Shane Black film, The Last Boy Scout, a classic.
Absolutely man yes!
Spilled my warm cup of piss!
Sweet Jeebus, Gary and Iain arguing about halfway through this is one of the hardest laughs I've had watching their stuff.
To me, Predator 2 was the last good Predator movie. After that the franchise has just been going downhill.
This is the Alien: Covenant (a shit film) of the Predator franchise.
22:56. Its the original red predator suit JCVD wore.
You went through this very calmly in comparison to Decker Shado.
watch the original
DECKER SHADO

HOLY SHIT
DECKER SHADO
was in his car
and I was worried
he would
WILE E COYOTE
himself off of a cliff
The way he goes off about the kid in the film murdering people had me in tears of laughter, pure rage. 😂
@@RetroRanter for me it’s him going off about the dog dna, woof woof

Gary is so mad about this movie, the top of his head is red .
I had such high hopes for this film, as challenging as it was to sit through it at the theater but the end of it was horrible on so many levels, I share Gary's disdain for it!
I just noticed in the scene where the boy is trick or treating, he walks by a kid wearing a red costume that looks an awful lot like the original predator costume that wasn't used. Around 22:54
The predator was arse. It reminded me a lot like the independence day sequel. And seemed desperate to try to spawn a spinoff TV series towards the end of the movie. It's like occasionally a film comes along and the studio think 'remember how popular stargate was..... Let's try to manufacture something like that off the back of our movie'
Ian 57:10, spot on ala Prey (here to hoping it works re the new direction theyve taken) Gary loved his face reactions throughout this review (this was worth a second rewatch) one of my fave OTS reviews you guys were in combat mode!!lol
Predator (1987) is a Sci-fi/Action/Horror Masterpiece !!!
To hell with the rest of the Films in the franchise..
Predator 2 is great cmon
For me, Predator & Predator 2. Just like Alien & Aliens, that's it.
Predator 2 really is a masterpiece.
It’s really underrated.
I went with a friend to see this film. We met up with some more friends after for drinks. We tried our hardest, our very hardest to explain the plot to our friends.
As we consumed more and more beer and martinis did the film start to make more sense.
But we had to keep cutting back to stuff like, "well, um. the predators take human spines? and they splice their DNA with themselves? Because... Reasons?"
"OH and there is this massive one, oh and theirs this autistic kid! OH and theres a bit where a ragtag bunch of, I dunno, funny people, and a guy with tourette's? They do something!"
"theres a bit where he, posts some predator tech to his house? and his autisti...... OH and........."
This went on for maybe 2 hours.. Probably longer than the film.
A guy from the group who hadn't seen the film watched it. I got a text the next day saying "yeah, to be honest.. you both did a pretty good job of explaining it.. it's shiiiite!"
hang on a second I just realised something, the predators mask, in the first movie when he takes it off he disconnects tubes feeding some sort of gas into it before he takes it off, logically im guessing that means they dont breath oxygen or at least they cant for long without needing their own atmosphere, so why isnt that predator dead? it was on that table for ages without its mask it should have suffocated
18:19 I feel your pain, Gary! ;)
No, Iain... No... Just stop! Staahp! :D
That was a good troll from Ian though :P
So I've only recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching these for a couple of days and I have to say... this review is probably the only one where I constantly swtiched sides regarding your views on the script/story on every topic! I love your chemistry and how you lightly bash eachother but keep it so friendly!
You definitely deserve atleast 20 times your sub count!
Fuck me, you got a heart from the guy's, they dont give them out often. At least I never notice em anyways.
Gary, your fucking face & reactions this whole video are absolutely priceless 👌
Brilliant review as always lads, this one was extra special 😄.
was genuinely upset after sitting through this mess in the theatre.
Just can't describe the feeling when the credits started rolling...just sat there for a bit while the rest of the audience walked past me chatting about how good it was . soul destroying.
At least _Predator 2_ is no longer being considered the black sheep of the franchise. I actually always liked that film, I never minded the L.A. setting, I thought Danny Glover was a good replacement for Arnold, and I love the graphic gore in it, no holding back on the hard R-rated violence. But _The Predator_ ...man was that a huge disappointment and a big "F you" to the series mythos.
It's a good flawed sequel I like predators little more but both are fine avp is ok time waster requiem an the Predator suck
Oh man, I really liked _Predators_ too. I've always enjoyed the idea of an alien planet being used as a hunting game preserve by the Predators, wish we had more of Laurence Fishburne's Noland in the film, maybe even a whole movie just centered on him.
We're all gonna watch gary have a brain hemorrhage on camera.
Im responsible for this.
I asked for this.
Jesus.
Also *turn up* 😒🤝😔
@NADS IQ I love it when they have similar tastes in common. When they review things I feel like these are guys I can watch a movie with, have a beer with, and talk about a movie with. 🤷
This is the worst Predator movie ever.
You said it pal.
Requiem is worse But this is second its a passable comedy
@@boomstickcritique902 I guess I can understand liking a bad funny movie over a straight up bad one.
Oh my lord, where have you guys been all my life?! Found you guys last week when i was in a bit of a big trouble in little china mood and checking reviews after watching. Absolutely love these informal, informative reviews, and being a brit, it’s nice to listen to local lads and not people over the pond. Can’t even think how many reviews of yours i’ve watched/listened to now, but you’ve got me hooked! Keep up the amazing work guys! PS: if you ever want a hand designing promo material, etc, i’d be more than happy to help! Take it easy!
I feel so bad for Gary. This movie was a complete disappointment. Also, Yvonne Strahovski, who plays McKenna’s ex wife, is also well known as Miranda from Mass Effect 2 and 3, as well as a recent lead role in The Handmaid’s Tale.
What gary said at 27:43 is exactly what I said after watching the predator.
I legitimately thought the “Predator Killer” was going to be a Xenomorph. Especially when the pod opened to reveal some kind of slimy substance. Knowing that Ripley and Newt were considered to be in there (as nonsensical as those two possibilities are) blew my mind. I guess my guess wasn’t as insane as I thought.
I really enjoy hearing how much gary disliked this film 🤣🤣
I won’t lie I didn’t hate this movie, not a patch on 1 or 2 and is silly at times but it does have Olivia Munn to look at. OTSR 👊👊
I have Tourettes and though I wasn't offended by Jane's portrayal, I was shocked HOW it was portrayed because Shane Black has Tourette's too.
Totally unrealistic.
You guys killed me with this one, especially with the shoulder cannon bit.
11:33 pure gold 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I also lost interest when i saw the little kid in the cast photo
Franchise killing directors like this add a lot of weight to justify Thanos clicking those fingers...
Ian I told you about Decker Shado on one of your live streams. Watch his apoplectic reaction review it’s hilarious and you genuinely fear for his sanity 😆
God that was.... it's worth the watch that's for sure!
That's brilliant. When he's in the car going mental.
Such a great internet personality with the best hair.
Kris Clare after watching this movie I fear for mine too.
@@davemurray4858 can you imagine what it looked like outside of the car?
Gary rocking gently from side to side near the end.
The first two acts of The Predator was ok as it has some good ideas but what kills the film for me was the third act as it was absolutely atrocious and dreadful as the plot went all over the place. Fox should have borrowed some stories from the comics as it could have been a better movie but it wasn’t to be. If I had the choice to watch this and Alien Covenant I would pick Alien Covenant because despite my disappointment for that film the first time I watched it at least it has better visuals and a little bit of atmosphere to it but not that much.
11:32 My thoughts exactly, Gary!
I've enjoyed your videos and I'm glad I found this channel, but this was by far your most entertaining video for Gary's reactions alone.
This movie does fucking blow
This is the first time I've seen Ian & Gary really go at each other like this it's just hilarious.
This little bit 18:10 from Iain and the look on Gary's face is pure gold.
As someone with Autism I do admit I have an issue with Hollywood's version but I still prefer it to the dumbed down version some people have in their minds. I decided to go back to videos about this and see what they thought about it and am glad that you guys aren't the type of people that just hate it. I agree with your review. Hope the next Predator movie is better.
27:41
when GARY said :
" FUCK YOU MOVIE "
I laughed so hard
I farted
That review was an emotional roller coaster. Gary was salty as hell.
MsPuggles salty because Ian needlessly defended an awful movie. I do appreciate him trying to see the movie for what it was, a comedy
Should this movie not have been called "The Child Predator"??
Again I’m with Gary on this one too.
I agree with Gary. When I heard Shane Black was going to direct this film, I really thought this movie was going to be....at least okay. But....no. It was awful lol Also, I am a little pissed that Arnold could have at least have a small cameo as Dutch in the film. After all, he did survive at the end of the first movie. Most people keep saying he's "too old." I call bullshit on that excuse. If Arnold Schwarzenegger can rerun as the Terminator (twice) in these shitty Terminator sequels, then yes! He could have returned as Dutch for a brief cameo. He doesn't have to do anything, but Dutch could have at least been there and tell them how to deal with the predator. Since he has more experience with the predator before. He could have just been there as a small moderator. If Arnold did make his cameo as Dutch in the film, the movie would have gotten at least a 1% good. Gary and Iain debated on a lot of things what this movie did right and wrong with lol But I'm sure they both can agree that Predator (1987) is STILL the superior version! And always will be! Great Review you guys! :)
Gary, I too was looking forward to Shane Black bringing the franchise back to the fans. I too felt the ultimate fucking betrayal!!! By the way, that beard is coming on a treat, lad!
54:47 The predator picks up a severed left arm but thrusts a right arm through the window. Explain that 👈 👍 🤔 😢 😭
Sums up this film.
One of the funniest reviews I've ever watched. You made my night!
Amusing review lads, sadly to one of the worst sci fi movies I have ever gone to a theatre to watch. Me and my mates left the cinema immediately saying how utterly crap this turd was. A waste.
I love the conversation about the Predator helmet between you two 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saw this at the cinema. It's an abomination 😠. Cheers for the review guys. Been waiting to see what you think of this lol
I knew this movie wasn't going to go well just from the trailer...I wasn't sold. I didn't waste my time (or money) watching it.
Such a dumb movie! How can the ultimate predator use vision modes and lock on without a helmet??
I agree as well.
Right after the ending credits, I looked at my girlfriend & said, "Jeez this movie fucking sucks” “Jeez this movie fucking sucks". She said, "Why did you say that twice?" I said, "I didn't." You see it was because of the echo in the empty abandoned theatre….
@@jwnj9716 LOL! Nice!
One of my favorite Gary episodes lol
Hahahaha It seems Gary was about to hit Ian in the face.
This is one of the most entertaining reviews I've seen you guy's do. You were both hilarious.
Such a brilliant review this one. Some of the Gary moments in this are hilarious 😂 😂
“...in a van, down by the river”. Instant thumbs up! 👍🏽
54:25: predator grabs a left arm but thrusts a right arm through the window. This film summed up in one moment
This is actually one of the funniest reviews from you guys... 😂
The next Samuel L Jackson, Iain, what fuckin planet are you on my friend. Loved Gary's response when Iain said that, Gary took the words straight outta my mouth. Love ya reviews guy's, funny as fuck.
So bad. I was actually looking forward to this. Like alien convenant I had high expectations just to be completely crushed.
"I just have fuck you scene's from this film." Lol
If you find his Tourette’s insulting, try watching Deuce Biggalo male gigolo. That’s not aged well but still funny because guess what.. it’s ok to laugh at over the top stereotypes
That's a huge bitch!
No it’s not when you suffer from Tourette syndrome like me because of how the media mocks Tourette syndrome my life has been hell because of it
Gary just looses all senses at the 18 minute point hahahaha holy shit!
Watched all the Alien reviews, the ups and downs of a great series and in the covenant review Iain guessed predator would be terrible. 😂
I felt as bad as Gary feels when I saw this.
The last decade really killed a few good franchises.
'oh boy" - Dr. Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap)
Incidentally today is Dr Sam Beckett's birthday!
@@waynesWyrdWorld Happy Birthday Bakula
Shane black tried to turn the predator into a Disney movie with all the jokes. All the jokes took me out of the movie. The predator doing the thumbs up was a slap in the face to fans.
Gary seems genuinely betrayed by this movie, for a good reason and Iain,...I think, is just f*cking with him for that. :D
He probably hates it as well as him or maybe more but just for the sake of it defends and explains it to tick Gary off even more:
"Maybe I get him to explode on camera this time, that would be sooo cool, I'm so close..." :D
Terminator and Predator were 2 of my favorite movies when I was a kid yet the last installments of both films have been truly tragic, sometimes things should just be left alone. These greedy money-chasing assholes have ruined both franchises!!!
Thanks for another outstanding review guys
Remember that in Predator 2 the scientist lady claims the spear head found, had no correspondence to any element on the periodic table, so that may account for why the postal service x-ray scan didn't detect the helmet. Boom!
Boom what?
I would of thought an alien species with cloaking capability, that their equipment would of got through our postal service. This film is utter drivel.
Why does everybody hate “Predators”? That film was awesome.
My god I hated this film so bad. That annoying Jacob Tremblay just irritated the crap out of me with his stupid facial expressions, the story was abysmal......just no. Alien Covenant was WAY better than this cinematic atrocity.
He doesn't know whar warp is. That was more wormhole/Portal style, like how The Guardians of the Galaxy get around
You guys are arguing like an old married couple! I love it!
This is gonna be special! I'm talking Slashers good
