God bless Arnold Schwarzenegger

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2007)

As I've said before, nobody goes to see a Schwarzenegger film for good pronunciation. It's really a shame the governator is no longer doing movies since his ultimate coolness factor makes any film he's in worth watching, no matter how bad.
The Predator is a cute concept, but unfortunately it is less a science fiction movie and more of a Schwarzenegger movie. The opening is rather standard for action-films of the time and undoubtedly everything could have been a little cleaner. What the movie eventually amounts to is the final act and I thoroughly enjoyed the showdown between Arnold and the Predator.
Sadly, what potential the movie could have had is slightly lost to its somewhat shoddy production, but it is an exciting and an interesting action movie, though far from the best of them. Even so the movie still has Schwarzenegger, guns, profanity, explosions and a guy in a monster suit.
