Nothing special about this...

Rating: 7/10 (17 August 2006)

The first time I saw this movie was way back in 91. I was a little kid then, and I loved it. Now as an adult, I just watched this film for the first time in 5 years yesterday and I must say there is nothing special or great about this goofy film. It's a stupid kids film. Only immature people would find this film entertaining or great. And there are a lot of immature people who praised that this film was great. This film is just another remake of Alien or Aliens: This time it takes place in a jungle. Stupid one-liners, paper thin story, no characterization, and no sense of direction. After a huge shootout, the macho man solders trudge through the jungle with each soldier getting picked off one by one, until the last one left is Arnie. Of course at the end, he and the predator have a face off until there's one man left standing. This movie has aged terribly. The special effects are cheesy as the situations that endure throughout the entire picture. The only thing that I still like about this film, just like I did 15 years ago is the cool soundtrack by Alan Silvestri. The sequel Predator 2 is better and is more fun to watch. Though Danny Glover ain't no Schawarnegger.
Did you know: Four of the macho men worked on my favorite show of all time Miami Vice!! Can you guess who?
