Summary: ~ A must see... ~
Review: This was probabaly the greatest movie ever created, think about it... a nearly invisible alien that hunts people vs. the guy from terminator!

But this movies not just about death and killing people, its a story about death and killing people that u cant get tired of, a great cast supports the plot, Jesse Ventura and Carl Weathers also star in this awesome movie, and its kinda cool to see a governer pull out a mini gun and start killing guerillas!

Even though you know that he will probabally survive in the end, it doesnt hinder the plot... cuz its got an awesome ending! i recomend this for anyone whos never seen it...

Summary: Don't let the predator hunt you down
Review: Major Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his commandos are on a mission in an African jungle when they find out that they are being hunted by a mysterious alien that can camouflage itself in order to keep from being seen. Major Dutch and his commandos must find a way to kill the beast before it kills all of them. But it won't be easy, because the creature has many weapons including a laser and the ability to see based on heat and movement.

"Predator" was one of the great action/sci-fi movies of the 80's and when you see it, you'll see why. The action goes along at a steady pace and picks up when it needs to in a big way. The alien looks cool and the special effects are awesome. It has some parts that you won't forget anytime soon such as the gun shooting sequence when they find an enemy hideout. The ending sequence is also well done.

This is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's best performances and if you like action or sci-fi movies, I recommend getting "Predator."

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gonna have me some fun!Gonna have me some fun!
Review: Underrated Schwarzenegger Classic! Starts out as a shoot-em up flick, but then turns into a psychological game of cat and mouse between Ahhnold and the Alien predator. Good Action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Check it out time and again!
Review: After having seen this movie innumerable times since it first came out, I can point out many inconsistencies in the storyline but there's no denying the enojoyability of the movie. The only bad link in the movie (I noticed this the very first time I saw it) it the scene where they show a "mushroom cloud." That was the worst special effect I had seen in a long time! It was a badly painted picture that was apparent as the daylight on a big movie screen.

Good movie to enjoy with the boys!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "Stick around" (if you can tolerate the script)
Review: I remember 'Predator' from many years ago when I was younger and remember enjoying it. Watching it again recently on DVD made me re-examine it. For a start, there's no plot at all, at least with Alien for example there were some decent twists. Secondly, the almost 100% male cast hardly say anything let alone have any decent characterisation. Thirdly, it's quite boring! The Arnie / Predator fight sequence at the end tends to go on for about a third of the film!

The DVD isn't very hot either - no special features at all and the picture quality is reasonable to poor (probably from a bad print). Sound quality is okay, some of the surround effects are good but nothing stands out.

In summary, it's okay - it's a must-have if you're an Arnie fan but looking back on 'Predator' it's not much of a classic!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An entertaining film.
Review: I've watched Predator a few times over the years. I've always considered it to be a pretty good and entertaining action film. There's plenty of action throughout, and the special effects are cool. I also find the acting from the entire cast to be solid and enjoyable. Arnold Schwarzenegger does a good job in his role. Predator moves at a comfortable pace and never becomes boring. The plot of the movie is satisfying, the being from outer space is fascinating, and the music is also good. Predator is worth a watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Action Movie Ever!
Review: I saw this movie when I was a kid and now I still consider it to be a great movie. This is my favorite movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Great special effects, directing, acting. Just an all around good movie. If you haven't seen this movie yet, then where have you been?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST FOR SCI-FI FANS
Review: I think PREDATOR is one of the best sci-fi movies of all time.Why? it's got everything a fan needs. Great action,good plot,excellent cast,not to mention the beautiful sceenery,awesome special effects,and some gore.Also, give some big props to STAN WINSTON FOR HIS OUT-OF-SIGHT SPECIAL EFFECTS. IT HAS GOOD RUNNING TIME and like i said before, if you're a bigtime sci-fi and ARNOLD SCHWARZENEEGER fan like me, YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!

RATED-R for sci-fi violence,brief gore,and some language

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great plot idea...bad execution
Review: There is no doubt about it: the idea behind this movie is thought-provoking, interesting, and original. The story itself is very interesting to think about...and it is scary.

The only problem I had with this movie was how they ruined such a great idea. There was simply no suspense in the movie whatsoever, and the movie just got stupid at some points. It wasn't scary at all to watch, although (as I mentioned earlier) just the idea of an invisible savage alien creature brutally killing your buddies is frightening.

The second half of the movie was just plain bad- especially the ending. It didn't really carry that well, and it was just all very silly.

In conclusion, this movie pretty much ruins an ingenius idea. This is definitely not one of John McTiernan's best works. His directing in Die Hard and The Hunt for Red October was much better. The bottom line: rent this movie but don't spend ten to twenty dollars buying it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF ARNOLD'S BEST!
Review: Great action/science fiction movie. Special effects and stunts are top notch. Good story line and a LOT of firepower!
