The Predator Review - Off The Shelf Reviews 

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!!!

my favorite shane black line "i'm a sniper, just get me close" showing he obviously has 0 clue what a sniper actually does.

Saw this at the theater. I was broken...this film is an embarrassment

Gary’s face thru this review is priceless!

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.

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

100% on Gary's side on thisone, and damn he looks angry!

"I had to see"..... YOU OPENED THE BOX WE CAME.

The disgust on Gary's face makes me think at times that he is about to strangle Iain lol

I agree with the guy on the left all the way through, he's the smartest of the reviewers

I'm as baffled by Iain's take on this as Gary was. What the what?!?

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".

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?

Really sorry about the bad audio in this review, had to use the camera microphone as the sound recorder gave up on us.

Ian get off Gary’s back. The dvd you paid for cost more then the cinema ticket.

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.

Sweet Jeebus, Gary and Iain arguing about halfway through this is one of the hardest laughs I've had watching their stuff.

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

The ending of the movie is truly AWFUL

Gary's expressions in this review are priceless :D The 11 foot tall predator kind of reminded me of Rawhead Rex

This review was 5 x more entertaining than this movie

You went through this very calmly in comparison to Decker Shado.

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.

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!

You want a good Shane Black film, The Last Boy Scout, a classic.

Gary is so mad about this movie, the top of his head is red .

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!

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

11:32 My thoughts exactly, Gary!

You guys killed me with this one, especially with the shoulder cannon bit.

Predator 2 really is a masterpiece.

What gary said at 27:43 is exactly what I said after watching the predator.

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

22:56. Its the original red predator suit JCVD wore.

18:19 I feel your pain, Gary! ;) No, Iain... No... Just stop! Staahp! :D

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.

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!"

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!

27:42 " FUCK YOU MOVIE " that's everyone's exact reaction after seeing the PREDATOR 2018

The Predator is such an awful movie, that watching it kills brain cells. Iain actually liking and defending this garbage is proof of that.

This is one of the most entertaining reviews I've seen you guy's do. You were both hilarious.

27:41 when GARY said : " FUCK YOU MOVIE " I laughed so hard I farted

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.

Predator (1987) is a Sci-fi/Action/Horror Masterpiece !!! To hell with the rest of the Films in the franchise..

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.

“...in a van, down by the river”. Instant thumbs up! 👍🏽

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.

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 😆

I love the conversation about the Predator helmet between you two 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

" That's when I was totally like - FUCK THAT SHIT. " So funny. I did see " The Predator" in theaters and it wasn't that terrible, but after the latest Star Wars and Terminator and many other franchise fucks - I mean flicks missteps I'll say it was worth the admission, but not the concessions.

Again I’m with Gary on this one too.

That review was an emotional roller coaster. Gary was salty as hell.

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.

This is the first time I've seen Ian & Gary really go at each other like this it's just hilarious.

One of the funniest reviews I've ever watched. You made my night!

Brilliant review as always lads, this one was extra special 😄.

Gary rocking gently from side to side near the end.

Should this movie not have been called "The Child Predator"??

Man I hate this movie so badly, it made me fall in love with the predators. Laurence Fishburne ruined the movie for me, however after rewatching it after this cinematic abortion I loved the movie. Fishburne wasn't that bad. I never had a problem with predator 2. I truly hate this movie, it doesn't feel like a predator movie in the slightest.

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.

Gary, your fucking face & reactions this whole video are absolutely priceless 👌

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'

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.

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

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

Such a brilliant review this one. Some of the Gary moments in this are hilarious 😂 😂

Thanks for another outstanding review guys

This little bit 18:10 from Iain and the look on Gary's face is pure gold.

We're all gonna watch gary have a brain hemorrhage on camera. Im responsible for this. I asked for this. Jesus. Also *turn up* 😒🤝😔

'oh boy" - Dr. Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap)

You guys are arguing like an old married couple! I love it!

54:25: predator grabs a left arm but thrusts a right arm through the window. This film summed up in one moment

I also lost interest when i saw the little kid in the cast photo

Saw this at the cinema. It's an abomination 😠. Cheers for the review guys. Been waiting to see what you think of this lol

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.

Iain is just cracking me up defending this movie and not afraid to say he enjoyed it. And Mr. Gary , i love the anger and facial expressions your making. Never seen you so frustrated lol. Cheers guys.

Predator 1987 : *Laughs at a pussy joke and later directly in the face of death* Predator 2018 : *Triggered into killing by "hate" speech*

Hyped for this review!

This is the funniest review you guys have ever done...the banter and back and forth between you two is priceless! It's better than the actual movie your reviewing...

"I just have fuck you scene's from this film." Lol

11:33 pure gold 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

I really enjoy hearing how much gary disliked this film 🤣🤣

This film replaced Alien VS Predator Requiem as they worst Predator film in the franchise.

This is actually one of the funniest reviews from you guys... 😂

Gary just looses all senses at the 18 minute point hahahaha holy shit!

This is gonna be special! I'm talking Slashers good

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! :)

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 feel like Gary

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!

Franchise killing directors like this add a lot of weight to justify Thanos clicking those fingers...

This film shits on all Predator lore, I'm with Gary on this one. Fuck this film

One of my favorite Gary episodes lol

It seems like Shane Black wanted to do a Stranger Things style throwback before Stranger Things was a . . . thing. But he got beaten to it, and in a panic the studio wanted to walk back on the premise they greenlit, and instead had it retooled into a fucking superhero movie. What a mess! And having a scene where a convicted sex offender hits on your lead actress was BEYOND DUMB!!!

throughout this review iain just digs a deeper and deeper hole for himself while gary just sits there and laughs at him lmfaooo

That look by Gary whenever Iain says "40k Warhammer" xD

54:47 The predator picks up a severed left arm but thrusts a right arm through the window. Explain that 👈 👍 🤔 😢 😭 Sums up this film.

Tourette’s in a Predator movie. Just let that sink in. Are the writers in Hollywood today really that inept. Disgraceful.

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
