4/5

Fifteen years on and "Predator" still impresses, both in tension and, perhaps more surprisingly, in its special effects.

“Predator” is a slightly above-average actioner that tries to compensate for tissue-thin-plot with ever-more-grisly death sequences and impressive special effects.

1.5/4

A typical Hollywood hybrid of previously successful movies, Predator preys on its predecessors mercilessly. Since there's only one real enemy, the picture can't simulate the pyrotechnic massacres that Rambo serves up.

4.5/5

One of the best American action movies of all time: an incredible mix of huge biceps, bigger firearms, blood, and a little bit of science fiction. [Full review in Spanish].

Predator moves at a lightning fast pace, the special effects (for the time) are superb, and the film ends with Schwarzenegger kicking an alien's ass. For an '80s action flick, what more could you ask for?

I love all the action scenes, especially the fight with Dutch and the Predator.

The last dialog occurs at 1h12m in the movie, followed by 30 minutes of pure action, after which it returns to the final dialog. The way it was produced and reworked, it's a masterpiece of its category.

Testosterone a livelli inimmaginabili per la saga alter ego di Alien, in cui il "Predator" giunge sulla terra con lo scopo di esplorare ed uccidere; fino all'arrivo sulla sua strada dell'immenso Arnold. La sceneggiatura differisce dal resto del genere proprio per la capacità di prendersi alla leggera, con sequenze tra il serio ed il faceto in cui i vari personaggi cercano costantemente il modo più mascolino e bruto di porsi e di farsi sentire, alla ricerca dei gradi di maschio alpha. Oltre a questo, sceneggiatura classica con eliminazione costante dei personaggi che, nonostante il poco tempo a loro dedicato, riescono ad avere una propria personalità e delle proprie, seppure basilari, caratteristiche. Il combattimento finale è senza dubbio epico ma davvero impegnativo per lunghezza; forse sarebbe bastato qualcosa in meno, ma di fatto, esattamente come per il resto del film, si cerca di l'eccesso e lo si trova. Film storico.
