| Posted by: Tom Samborski at April 19, 2003, 12:46 am | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | | One of the best action movies of the 1980's, Predator has one of the most ugly-ass aliens in movie history. The special effects were excellent for their time, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was great, delievering witty one-liners and kicking ass at the same time. I'm sure if Predator was released today, it would surpass every action movie released in this decade because it has that style and kick that other modern action films don't have. Highly recommended for all action movie buffs. 9/10 | | Static Link |
| Posted by: blackbear at February 2, 2002, 12:19 am | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | | This may not be one of the best movies ever made but for mindless action that should not be taken to seriously I thought it was great flick. It is one of those movies you can easily watch time and time again. Also the one-liners in the movie, though corny, are fun to hear again and again. For shear entertainment 8 out of 10 | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Philip Marlowe at January 29, 2002, 2:24 am | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | | Hey thanks fergus it didn't take that long about 2 hrs I don't know, would you consider that long plus a lot of think before actually putting the pen to the paper. have you seen the sequel to this one it's not so bad considering how most sequels usually end up it's about a C+ but some people like it more than the original I say whatever suits there fancy but the original is way better in my book. I think with all the other movies made around the time this one came out and considering it's from the director that brought use Die Hard it represnts itself pretty good on every level and too me is as good or better than Die Hard but that just me.

| Posted by: Fergus at January 29, 2002, 12:29 am | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | | Sweet Review Philip. How long did that take you? I've seen Predator once all the way through, and a few other times on TV in segments. I saw the end before I actually viewed the entire film. But, it is a suspenseful, and fun SCI-FI action movie. The guys were all sleazebags, but what the heck, I liked the movie and it gets a: **** out of five from me. | | Static Link |

The Story is simple a Special Unit takes a mission to recover people that went down with a helicopter somewhere in the jungle. Once dropped off there's no turning back. they find the place were the helicopter was shot down certain things don't add up, for one a heatseeker was used to nock down the helicopter which doesn't make sense considering the weaponry the gurrilla's are suppost to have. another thing there's no tracks from any men telling of an ambush plus they find three men that have been skined to the flesh. So they head off to were the captive men have been taken there they realize that there are no surviors so they proceed to blow-up & Destory the every loving sh!t out of everything that moves or breaths. Knowing they have to get out they hit the bushes and this atlasted brings us to the Cat-a-Mouse game that slowly dissolves the number in the Unit while there trying to work out wh... | | Read Entire Entry |

| Posted by: Alien at August 16, 2001, 12:50 am | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | | Plus it's cewl seeing one badass alien kicking the shiat out of the Military dudes. This one of those films Arnie gets his ass kicked BIG TIME!!! Plus I loved the ending when you seen him standing there. Smoke blowing and Arnie covered in dirt and blood, pretty weird how the Predator did all that and not Arnie....VERY weird. This film ranks up there as one of my favs | | Static Link |
| Posted by: The Professional at August 15, 2001, 9:59 pm | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | | I just watched it. it was a good action movie, like alien in the jungle. 8/10 | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Ender at August 15, 2001, 8:47 pm | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | Predator was one of those movies that defined the sci-fi genre for me. A just plain cool flick, one of the best and funnest alien movies ever made. Too bad the sequel is a huge pile of rancid shit, but that's the way it goes.
7/10. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Adidas03 at August 15, 2001, 5:18 pm | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | | Overrating Predator? No way, most big sci-fi/action fans rate this movie high all the time. It is great when you consider the year they created this movie. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: ilovemovies at August 15, 2001, 2:31 am | | Topic: Predator (9/10) Forum: JoBlo | Predator was a decent and entertaining movie but was by no means a great movie. I think you overrated the movie quite a bit. Still cool specail effects and some exciting action sequences.
grade: B
rating: ***

Review: "Rambo" meets "Alien"in this sci fi/action thriller. I thought the overall plot of "Predator" was great and the cast does a good job in what they are asked to do. Arnold Schwarzenneger is Major Dutch, the leader of the group of commandos and I think this performance is one of his best. Arnold still has the accent but he can't help it, he ... | | Read Entire Entry |
