This is the epitome of the 80's action film (minus the requisite female frontal nudity). Released a year before McTiernan's other action epic "Die Hard", "Predator" is all about big guns, muscles and shit exploding.

Cheesy and ridiculous but still, it's a fun and surprisingly tense 100 minutes that straddles the line of self parody.

This film was clearly more about showing off Schwarzie's muscles (even going so far as doing many of his actions in what seems like slow-motion: Hey, look how big my muscles are!) than about any kind of story, but it was enjoyable nevertheless, despite the less than good soundtrack, I might add.

This movie doesn't pretend to be anything but a bunch of highly charismatic muscled tough guys kicking ass in the jungle. It also does it extremely well with an interesting twist with a sci-fi plot and special effects that were fantastic for its time. There's a reason why "Get to da chopper" and the "sexual tyrannasourus" catchphrases are endlessly repeated on the internet.

Arnie appears bizarrely intellectual when Jesse Ventura happens to be in the same movie.

A solid eighties action flick. The movie isn't quite as good as it's been made out to be- it lags in spots- but it's still a lot of fun. Having said that, it can be difficult to take Carl Weathers seriously after having watched him on Arrested Development- I kept waiting for him to explain to Arnold the best manner in which to "get a stew going". Then, you could argue that it adds to the experience.

It marked time.

Predator is definitely one of the best and most powerful SciFi Action Blockbuster of the 80īs. I just canīt guess how many times Iīve watched this Flick, but I never get tired of it.Itīs more like a stupid Soldier against Mutant Creature Story. The Predator seems to be immortal. And the End give me a chill everytime I watch it. Just awesome!!

Kinda dumb but fun. I guess I was expecting something more like Alien, since it's so often associated with that movie. This is nowhere near that level.

Actually more to this -- possibly symbolically and just how it's made -- than you would think, but still best at being an action film. But the predator (and the Predator itself is awesome) and prey dynamic of it adds genuine drama to go along with the action. There are some really nice shots that I wasn't expecting, some nice cinematography. And now that that's over: "I ain't got time to bleed," "stick around," "If it bleeds we can kill it," "Bleed, bastard," "Knock, knock" etc. BOOM! DEAD TREES
