ʻO ka mea mua, aloha wau Moana. ʻO ia ka quintessential ʻo kā mākou mīkini ʻoniʻoni 80 kiʻekiʻe loa. Mai ke kū hoʻokahi o ka laina a me ke kū ʻana o ka bicep-flexing, i ka uē ʻana o ke kaua a me nā make weliweli, Moana ʻo ia kekahi o kēlā mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni hohonu loa.

No laila, i ʻōlelo ʻia, me ka hoʻolaha o kahi Predator hou, ua lohe mākou i kahi buzz o ka pīhoihoi a hopohopo paha. Pono mākou i kahi komo hou i ka (ʻaelike kūlike ʻole) Predator franchise? ʻO ka ʻaoʻao āu e pae ai, ʻO ka mea koho He lawelawe ia - ʻoiai he maikaʻi ʻole - hoʻolei i ka pā, kahi leʻaleʻa kolohe i hana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni he ʻano maʻamau.

ʻO Shane Black - ka mea i hoʻokani iā ​​Hawkins, ka mea akamai loa i ka papakaumaka Predator ma ka palapala 1987 - ua hoʻi ʻo ia e lawelawe ma ke ʻano he mea kākau a me ka luna hoʻokele no kēia kau hou.

He mele paʻa paʻa ko Black i ke kākau ʻana i nā quippy, nā palapala neʻe wikiwiki - e like me, Wehal Weapon, ʻO ka Monster Monster, Honi Honi iā ​​Bang Bang a ʻO nā kāne maikaʻi. Akā ʻoiai ʻO ka mea kohoKūkākūkā ke kamaʻilio kūmau i nā kani comedic, ʻo ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e neʻe i kahi mile frantic i ka minuke, e waiho ana i kekahi mau hoʻoponopono clunky i kona ala ʻana.

ʻO kahi ʻāpana nui o kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo ma muli o ka reshoots lehulehu a me nā hoʻololi, me kahi hoʻoponopono hope loa e ʻokiʻoki i kahi hanana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka lawehala wahine i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia (a me ka hoaaloha lōʻihi o Shane Black) hana ʻē aʻe me Olivia Munn me kona ʻike ʻole a ʻae paha.

ʻIke ʻia kēia mau hoʻoponopono clunky i ka manawa o kahi kaʻina hana suburban. Me he mea lā ua ʻoki ʻia a neʻe ʻia kekahi mau pana, no laila aia kekahi mau manawa ʻokiʻoki e hoʻopilikia iki ai i ke mele o ka hanana.

A laila aia, ʻoia, ʻo Mega-Predator. ʻO ka trailer mua helehelena o kēia ʻenemi x-treme a ua ʻike ʻia kāna mau ʻīlio (hiki iā mākou ke kāhea iā lākou ʻo ia?) me kahi haʻalulu o nā mea pā e nīnau ana no ke aha e pono ai ka franchise e hana i kēlā me kēia keu.

No ke aha mai? No ka mea ʻo 2018 kēia, dammit.

He pae kiʻekiʻe loa ia no kahi franchise ʻoi loa, a ʻoiai, ʻaʻohe mea hewa i kēlā. A i mea kaulike, ʻaʻole kēia ʻenemi melodramatic hou i kahi kaua hope loa - ʻo ia ke kumu hoʻomaka no ka hoʻolālā holoʻokoʻa o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

ʻO Mega-Predator kahi, ʻO ka mea koho manaʻo ʻoi aku ka nui hou o kēia mau lā ma mua o nā mea ma mua. ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo ua loli ka ʻenehana a me ke kamaʻilio i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, akā ʻo ka ikehu holoʻokoʻa o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni he cheeky, sardonic, swagger-fueled humor i hui pū ʻia me ka leka ʻana i nā hopena o ka lawelawe koa, kākoʻo kūpuna. pōkole) hoʻomehana honua.

ʻLelo ʻia, ʻaʻole kū ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kahi kūlana ikaika i kēia mau pilikia kaiaulu; Hoʻohana lākou i nā lole i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma mua o ka hoʻolālā plot. He kākau kākau maikaʻi ʻo Black i ka wā e hiki iā ia ke kiaʻi i ka hoʻolālā a me ke kamaʻilio e hoʻoulu ʻia e ke ʻano, akā ʻo ka hana pinepine ʻana e kāpae a hoʻāʻo e hoʻopiʻi i ka lehulehu, nā mea hoʻoleʻaleʻa hoʻokumu e hana i kahi pilikia nui aʻe.

ʻOiai 1987's Moana ukali i kahi hui elite o nā mea mālama kālā a me nā koa ma kahi mikiona, ʻO ka mea kohoʻO ka hui o nā koa i hoʻomaʻamaʻa kiʻekiʻe e like me ka mana Oorah o ka Mokupuni o Misfit Toys. Hewa lākou, haʻalulu, a me kahi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi. He leʻaleʻa wale nō lākou e nānā mahalo i nā hana leʻaleʻa mai ka mea hana keaka.

Kuhi ʻia ke kamaʻilio me nā kiko punch o ka hoʻomākeʻaka i hāʻawi ʻia e ka ensemble maikaʻi. ʻO Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, a me Augusto Aguilera hōkū ma ke ʻano he hui B o nā koa. Pāʻani ʻo Olivia Munn i ka wahine ʻepekema wahine hōʻailona i hoʻopili ʻia i ka hana, a ʻo Sterling K. Brown e hana nei ma ke ʻano he antagonist generic (nāna e ʻaihue i kēlā me kēia hanana ʻo ia, no ka mea, he waiwai waiwai ʻo Sterling K. Brown).

Kahi ʻōlelo kūikawā iā Augusto Aguilera ma ke ʻano Nettles, ka mea i puka mai kahi mai e lawe i nā manawa ikaika loa o ke kiʻi me ka manawa comedic maikaʻi loa.

Ma ke ʻano he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻO ka mea koho loaʻa ka ʻiʻo a nui loa. Loaʻa i kekahi mau manawa o ka hana ʻino ka hopena hoihoi o ka weliweli o ka guttural mai ka poʻe hoʻolohe TIFF. ʻO kēia mau kaʻina hana ka mea hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi loa no ka mea, ma ka puʻuwai, ka Predator franchise e pili ana; kahi hunter relentless, unstoppable hunts e hoʻonoho i nā koa i hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui ʻia mai kā lākou kuʻikahi.

Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, kaulike ʻole ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a - i kekahi manawa - holo wikiwiki. Akā nō naʻe, ua hauʻoli wau ia no ka leʻaleʻa maikaʻi a maikaʻi ʻole o ia. ʻAʻole maikaʻi loa ia, akā i ka wā e kūʻē ʻia i kēlā me kēia hopena o ka franchise, ʻoi aku ka ikaika o kēia kiʻi ma mua o ka pūpū. ʻO wauf ke ʻimi nei ʻoe i ka hoʻokipa hihiu, popcorn-chomping me ka hoʻomāinoino hoʻomāinoino a me ka launa aloha papalina. ʻO ka mea koho he koho pono loa.
