back in a time when the term popcorn movie actually mean something and predator stand out especially today and mostly due to it high quality writting and top notch action . this movie never get boring and a we watch the character interact with each other and it bring to mind the feeling i get when watch the marine from alien while a great feeling of comradary and gruff friendship . the special effect and while date and in my humble opinion look well then the snazzy futuristic effect we be see today . the govenator be perfect for the lead role in this film and he command a certain respect both from the character and audience alike . the title character of the film be still cool and frightening by todays standard . the filmakers know how to use the predator makeup and they shadow it in as much darkness a possible and cover it in mudd and grime and which hide what could have be very obvious makeup guy in a suit effect . the guy who play predator do everything he could to add some life to the creature and to make people think he could stand up against arnold in the end . it really alot of fun to watch the predator hunt these hapless soldier and when just a while ago they be kick as everywhere they go . a we watch the downfall of summer popcorn movie and it good to know we can still go back and watch something great like this film .
