Predator Review

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2018)

The film Predator gives us a action film that some are still trying to recreate today. Reminiscent of films like Alien and Rambo, McTiernan takes the best qualities from those films and uses them to his benefit. The performance he gets out of Schwarzenegger is one that is unforgettable, classic one liner after another. The action sequences are fun and keep the intense pacing of the film going. The supporting actors have great personalities but can be viewed as a little cliche. The dialogue presented can be cheesy at times, but avoidable because everything else going on keeps you distracted."The Predator" himself is a very interesting looking creature and is still passable to this day. The visual effects seem a little outdated at times, but still get the "invisibility" point across. Throughout the movie the musical score from Alan Silvestri can be heard at the most dramatic of times.
Predator is a fun action movie that has a very high re-watch value. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more sequels to come. Directors will continue to fail in making what the original Predator is. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good summer action/sci-fi flick.
