The Most Quotable Schwarzenegger Ever.

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2014)

"Predator" is in every sense of the word, a 1980's action fans wet dream. Most definitely a lot of one liners spawned from this movie, which has the styling's of a 1950's Sci-Fi classic and a typical 1980's slasher yarn.
The film is obviously quite over the top. I find the pacing boring and almost unbearable during the first half. What begins as a movie about a small group of ragtag, testosterone guerrilla fighters, eventually becomes a fight for survival against an alien created by Stan Winston, with input from James Cameron (True story).
Arnold is delightfully cheesy as always, and he really is the only reason to see this movie for all his one liners and the final battle. I guess I should mention Carl Weathers as well and the fact Shane Black wrote part of the flick (Uncredited), who obviously went on to great success with "Lethal Weapon", and a string of Hollywood blockbusters.
Final Verdict: The "Predator" franchise has always felt no more than classic B-movie serials, but therein lies the charm and the reason they have endured for so long. 7/10. It's a lot of fun when you don't take it too seriously, but I just don't have a lot to say about it.
