An Action Classic of the 80's

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2014)

Predator is a classic film, that is a fact. The franchise is strong, even if the films and games are not the best materials produced. The original Predator is a beautiful example of how action films ran in the "1980's". There is no doubt that this film has left an impact on the history of cinema. The action is non-stop, the suspense is thrilling and the characters are rememberable and spew some of the best one-liners ever. Arnold is himself in this movie, which is given. That those not make the film bad, however. The only issues that I can deduce is the lack of character development. I understand that this certain genre of film does not need a well developed story and character, but it would do the film some good if it had. All in all, it is worth a watch and a re-watch, for its monster and its killer action.
