My new avatar is Arnold watching some sketchy bear CGI in a new movie called 'Prey', which happens to be in his Predator franchise. But heโs wearing yellow spandex, so what does he know.
A better title for the movie would have been โDances with Predatorโ. I mean they even steal the field of skinned buffalo scene. As hyperviolent and full of action the film is, itโs very light on story or really any context as to why we areโฆ
Brazenly and defiantly dumb, like Hot Rodโs idiot brother, but admirable for the give-no-fucks attitude approach to comedy on display. Sort of walks a fine line between Scary Movie-style parody film and Fletch investigational with wacky disguises, and becomes something of its own entirely. Understandably shunned upon release as a misguided Disney creation too raunchy for their brand, McKlusky would be comedy of the year up to now if released in 2022 (or maybe I was just in the mood for something that required the minimum amount of brainpower and rationality to enjoy)
A tight 87 minutes that wastes no time with story set up, you learn just enough along the way; the less plot, the better. Wooden acting from the two stars, but Tatum OโNeal was still highly likable in such an abrasive role, itโs kind of sad she was never a film star again after this. Damn if she doesnโt give it her all in the physical aspects, with some action scenes of her kicking ass against drug dealers and thugsโฆ
When you start to root for the villains in MCU films, there might be a problem. I donโt take any MCU movie too seriously, so youโd think one filled with nonstop joking would be right up my alley, but thatโs actually one of the things I like least when I watch an MCU film. I just donโt care much about all the jokes they try to jam into these. I like comedy just as much as anyone I follow hereโฆ
