Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
undeaddt When you watch this movie, it is obvious it's at least 30 years old, but on the other hand, it offers a lot of stealth action, tension and drama, things that many movies lack today. I must admit that the movie has a bit to slow pace for my taste, but at the end the fight sequences between Arnold and the Predator, who by the way, looks sick without the mask, made this movie what it is today. Of course, a lot of macho moments, cliche quotes and all of that, but it is from the 80's when all of that was awesome anyway.
Dalbert Pringle 1987's "Predator" is one of those ruthlessly sadistic movies that (as a cheap ploy to build suspense) doesn't clearly show this creature-in-question (in the plain light of day) until well into the story.And, I have to tell ya - When this particular "predator" does finally step out of its visual obscurity (with its wormy hair and its "Porky Pig" roadkill face) - I, literally, burst out laughing. I really did. (Ha! What a hoot!) Talk about anti-climatic!This utterly moronic-looking predator (with fingernails so long that it couldn't even manipulate its own high-tech gadgetry properly) was one of the most laughably cheesy creatures ever designed by famed make-up effects artist, Stan Winston.And, speaking about Predator's soundtrack music - Man-oh-man - It was so irritatingly loud far too often and it kept inexplicably building in intensity as a sorry attempt to hopefully create some much-needed suspense in this SyFy clunker.Oh, yeah - By the way - "Predator" stars the Austrian Oak (aka. Arnold "What's-His-Name").
Petia Vladimirova One of the greatest alien movies ever made. The idea itself of a hunter killing for pride and manhood is genius, but I have to say the movie is not very autentic. Typical "who will survive at the end" american action with musscle men and a lot of guns. For it's time it is great, I was six when I watched it and I was like: "Noo, how could he kill the Predator, I liked him!" Do you really think if in reality grown men with power and obviously no problem of killing other men were found a helpless girl, at the forest, far from eyes and judgement, they should not rape her and probably kill her? And one more thing, it was pretty not realistic about shining eyes of the Predator, who ever created that? Being invisible - fine, non waterproof armor - fine, shining eyes? What for? How? Watever, I am waiting the next Predator movie and I hope they won't mess it up.
TyJustice I read on the IMDb trivia that Arnold was originally wary of the original script that featured just him facing off against the Predator, and thank goodness for the rewrite. All of the supporting characters compliment the plot near perfectly, and they all have simple, easy to follow character traits and motivations that make for easy investment without taking away from our lead - Dutch, played by Arnold. The setting of the film is fun, believable and engaging. It certainly brings the jungle alive and pulls you into the story. The score plays a big part in the storytelling, and does a phenomenal job at creating the mood and atmosphere for the scenes that it takes place in. The sound design is what I would personally compliment the most, as I do not believe the film would be the same without the way the jungle sounded so authentic, the effects of all the different types of gunfire used, and not to mention the iconic sounds that brought the Predator to life. A seamless film with little to no dull moments, would be the perfect addition to anyone's collection for all sorts of occasions.
