Definitely one of Arnold's best!

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2002)

Ah, the 80's! The decade of action films!!! This is a great film. It deals with the mission of elite commandos who go in search of some hostages. After their initial mission is over, I must say, they deal with it very quickly, they are slowly, one by one, killed by an unseen force.
A great pitch for a film and probably the greatest alien enemy ever imagined! Only the 'Aliens' can compare to this 'Predator'.
The 98% all male cast do what they do best - swear, shoot big guns, and flex their muscles. And if you want tension, explosions, and a great mano-a-mano for a climax, then this is your film!
Arnie's best movie - he was the box office draw in the 80's - alongside films such as The Terminator and it's superior sequel.
The Predator itself is an alien that is obviously not from the same planet as E.T. He has technology that us humans couldn't even begin to make for another 100 years. He is very agile, leaping from tree to tree silently and gracefully (like Tarzan just without the yodelling!!). It is the ultimate killing machine. Highly intelligent, and it can even learn our language within seconds! And he wears what is most probably the best costume I have ever seen on an alien!
All in all, a damn good film showcasing that Arnie was once a formidable action hero, and reminding us that some aliens ARE out to kill us - just for the fun of it!
As the Predator does with the skulls of his victims - collect this film!!
Rating? 9/10
