Predator Reviews
By telling a simple story in an incredibly effective and energetic manner, Predator manages to become one of the very best action films of its decade.
There is as stiff dose of senseless violence, but fans of the genre will love it.
A devilishly entertaining action movie, which keeps me on the edge of my seat with each of the jungle sequences that, at a breakneck pace, prove that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the ultimate action hero of the 80s. [Full review in Spanish]
Predator is violent and for the most part, makes absolutely no sense. But it is a powerful and scary monster movie.
Tongue-in-cheek Schwarzenegger battles enemy soldiers, that alien, and the English language.
The problem with Predator is its lunkhead script.
By far the worse movie Arnold Schwarzenegger has made to date.
An entertaining monster movie with a strong ensemble cast
One of the best American action movies of all time: an incredible mix of huge biceps, bigger firearms, blood, and a little bit of science fiction. [Full review in Spanish].
Predator moves at a lightning fast pace, the special effects (for the time) are superb, and the film ends with Schwarzenegger kicking an alien's ass. For an '80s action flick, what more could you ask for?
Fifteen years on and "Predator" still impresses, both in tension and, perhaps more surprisingly, in its special effects.
This superior blend of firepower, machismo, bloodshed, and one of the most exhilarating showdowns in cinema is often imitated but rarely equaled.
“Predator” is a slightly above-average actioner that tries to compensate for tissue-thin-plot with ever-more-grisly death sequences and impressive special effects.
If you can appreciate the movie's cartoonish aspects—for example, the film's savagely slaughtered characters reappear for the end credits, their cast members taking a bow and smiling—you'll likely be entertained.
A typical Hollywood hybrid of previously successful movies, Predator preys on its predecessors mercilessly. Since there's only one real enemy, the picture can't simulate the pyrotechnic massacres that Rambo serves up.
...director John McTiernan insists on a lot of vulgarity and realistic-looking gore in a film that is essentially a simple-minded science fiction-fantasy - ending up with something that resembles a cross between "Platoon" and "The Amazing Colossal Man."
Predator is no real contender for the great movies of 1987. But for anyone truly concerned with the forever mutating state of popular art, it is a minor revelation.
The gore is grim, yet the only meaningful criticism of the film, given the fact that such entertainment will be made as long as boys become men (and men remain boys), is that it runs too long.
...though erratically paced and more than a little gore-happy, the flick is more fun than a barrel of heat-seeking mortar shells.
As usual in shoot-'em-ups like this, you will search in vain for any great character development or thematic significance.
