Great Sfx
Arnie at his best
A close call as one of Arnie's best films. A very good action/horror that still looks up to date with recent films. Simple premise as the hunters become the hunted. The Predator looks awesome and the effects, with little cgi, still look good 30 years later.

Austrian vs predator
Predator is a classic 80's action movie. set in the jungle, a team of steroid filled soldiers (except for that one guy) set out to rescue hostages from armed rebels, the eventually discover a string of dead bodies an soon realise they are being hunted by something deadly and not of this world.

Predator dog... WTF?!
So, another week, another disappointment at the cinema. This week, it's the turn of The Predator.

For the first 40 minutes or so though, I actually really enjoyed this latest installment of a franchise that has always struggled to match the original. Some interesting ideas and characters are introduced and there's a healthy dose of intense action as a captured Predator escapes a facility it's being held captive in. Overall, plenty of potential.

But then, probably soon after the arrival of the huge CGI Super Predator, the movie slowly descends into nonsense. What doesn't help is that the editing is noticeably bad from then on too. Scene cuts that don't make sense and numerous occasions when you just can't tell who is doing what, where people are and who is getting killed. It's a frustrating, jumbled mess.

And in among all of that, there's a predator dog that goes from trying to kill everyone to following them around and wanting to play fetch like a real dog!! Ridiculous.

Dug in like an Alabama Tic
Here we have a shining example of a crazy genre mash up that nails it first try.

Predator starts off as another 80s action fest, full of one liners, muscles, and explosions. It's ridiculous in all the right ways. (Dutch and Dillon's gratuitous muscles hand shake will always remain one of the most stupid-but-incredible shots committed to film)

As we all know, Predator takes a turn near the halfway mark into sci-fi-horror territory, introducing us to one of the most iconic on screen alien species ever.
The Predator design is badass, and the inevitable unmasking is pretty nasty.

As the movie draws to it's climax, the showdown between Dutch and The Predator is exciting and inventive, and cements Predator as one of the very best Arnold Schwarzenegger films.

Throw in a healthy amount of violence and some Little Richard and we have a hugely enjoyable action film to enjoy over and over.


It's a damn shame that none of the sequels have ever come close to the original and best. Maybe one day...
