Review by Patrick Willems ★★★★½ 17

Whoever had the idea to mash-up slasher movies with roided out action movies deserves a Nobel prize
Review by Matt Singer ★★★★ 4

Me, taking my family to the mall the day after Christmas: “We move! Five-meter spread. No sound.”

Me, when the trip to the in laws is going badly: “So you cooked up a story and dropped the six of us in a meatgrinder?“

Me, to my daughter when she says she’s too sick for school then spends the whole day bouncing in bed and screaming: “You set us up. It was bullshit, all of it!”

Predator forever.
Review by DirkH ★★★★★ 10

There is this shot in the beginning of this film where Ahnold shakes hands with Carl Weathers. The amount of biceps that fills the screen symbolises everything about this film.
This is from start to finish a professionally made and perfectly executed, testosterone filled muscle movie.
And I frickin' love it!
Review by 24framesofnick ★★★★ 12

Men fucking and dying
Review by CosmonautMarkie ★★★½ 9

I decided to watch all of the predator movies.
So far this is the only good one
Pros:
- Rly good effects
- Arnold charisma is very fun to watch
- Predator itself is iconic and it’s easy to see why the creature is so popular just based on one movie
- Final battle is just a half hour of a dude fighting an alien with no dialogue
Cons:
- Girl character has silly trope of “ethnic character explains the mythology of the movie”
- Shane Black bad pussy jokes
Review by Hesse ★★★★½

Easily the best film I’ve seen about what would happen if there was a predator

This is exactly how it felt playing manhunt with the neighborhood kids growing up

I would have handled this situation faster and with less loss of life, using advanced tactics
Review by Josh Lewis ★★★★★ 2

The American colonial machine looks into a mirror and screams "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
Full discussion on episode 33 of my podcast SLEAZOIDS.
Review by Jake Cole ★★★★★ 1

Starts as a critique of Reagan-era CIA operations, with slaughters in Latin-American jungles designed to protect certain interests (interests, by the way, that have nothing to do with those doing the fighting, who must be lied to to even get them to sign up). But then it moves far deeper as this political commentary is extrapolated into a moral and biological abstract. McTiernan routinely redefines who is the technologically superior force and who is outgunned; who is invisible and who is a sitting duck; and who is fighting for survival and who is simply displaying primal savagery. The predator could be the spirit of the massacred guerrillas, becoming the jungle itself as it picks off imperial invaders, but it is…
Review by Branson Reese 3

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I really like how this movie starts as a "normal" action movie about a group of hardened but lovable rogues on a rescue mission and then gets just completely upended by a freaky alien picking them off one by one. It starts as an action movie before melting away into a slasher and then finally returning to action as the Predator and Arnold shed any pretense and compete to see who has the biggest dick of the jungle. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is a mountain.
Hawkins' wife is probably going to be heartbroken that her husband was killed in the jungle but it sounds like their genitals barely even fit together so maybe this could actually be a positive thing for her once she's processed her grief.
Review by Matt Singer ★★★★

Me to my Predator Blu-ray: “You’re one beautiful motherfucker.”
