A modern classic...

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2001)

When I first saw Predator, I was immediately struck by the genious way in which the director had presented this movie. Unlike what you might have presumed, this movie was not another B-action movie.
The entire concept, they location, the actors and the special effects, all make this film an equal to the Alien movies. But one of the movie's biggest assets is undoubtedly the music. Alan Silvestri was cut out for the job and the thrilling military theme in the music is perfect for the enviroment in which the movie is taking place.
The sequel was obviously not as good, but who would have expected it? However, it had a great movie to rely on, thus making it fairly acceptable, I would say.
Although the characters had relatively small roles, they invite to memories past, and I sure would like to see a movie where we get to now what Poncho means when he says; "Remember Afghanistan?" and Dutch replies;" Trying to forget..." . Obviously that is never going to happen, heheh, but who can blame me for dreaming...
