Predator

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2005)

Creating the right "monster" for this movie made it work. The creature was clearly a dominating figure and the advanced technology the creature possessed made him "militarily superior" to the commandos he hunted. Had the creature not been as sophisticated as he was, I'm not sure the plot would have been successful. There are, of course, a lot of macho cliché's in the movie..."I ain't got time to bleed"...and so on. Probably the worst line in the movie was given by Arnold when he threw the knife and nailed the bad guy..."stick around"..made me cringe. The creature was the movie. Great job by Kevin Peter Hall and I was so saddened by his death. A real talent. The movie is a classic and will be for years to come.
