Predator Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Variety Staff
"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.
USA Today
Jack Curry
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.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
The movie, a rather pointless thing when you get down to it, has little of the provocative intelligence that was found in "Terminator." But at least it's self-propelling in terms of suspense and cheap thrills...and you'd better like violence a lot.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
This is a movie that is slick with blood and even slicker in its production values.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
It's a lumbering oaf of a film whose only positive function is to emphasize, by contrast, how well-put-together Aliens was. In fact, even the cloddish Rambo seems fairly adroit by comparison.
Newsday
Leo Seligsohn
Director John McTiernan has managed the excessive fireworks well, keeping the overheated movie slightly cooled under a constant shower of campiness.
Denver Post
Michael Healy
...writers Jim and John Thomas just extract some of the larger cliches from the "War-is-fun" and science-fiction genres and toss them intermittently at the audience. The result is a stale bore.
Detroit Free Press
Elvis Mitchell
If "Predator" weren't so impersonal - it does have one poetic scene of carnage in which the alien destroys sections of the jungle at night - it would be more frightening, and funnier.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
McTiernan never seems in complete control of the wildly disparate elements he has assembled, and the movie doesn't settle into one groove long enough to establish a firm hold on the audience.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
The problem with "Predator" is it just isn't a very good movie. The attempts at characterization are crude, the shards of humor that have effectively punctuated previous Schwarzenegger outings don't work.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
...[Arnold Schwarzenegger] has not only shed some of his greatest assets -namely his vein-popping muscles- but he, perhaps because the jungle heat sapped energy, shows so little animal magnetism that this creature feature winds up just a ridiculous bore.
Arizona Republic
Marsha McCreadie
Taking some elements from Commando and some from The Terminator, Schwarzenegger has stripped down the films to their pertinent, crowd-pleasing parts and simply repeated those parts.
Village Voice
Juliann Garey
Predator is an outrageous romp through boyland.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Wilmington
It's arguably one of the emptiest, feeblest, most derivative scripts ever made as a major studio movie. There's no need to do a Mad magazine movie parody of this; it's already on the screen.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Michael H. Price
The emotional and physical vulnerability that Predator imposes on Schwarzenegger make this easily his best film of an often impressive round of muss-'em-up thrillers.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
There are some really obnoxious things about Predator, the new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, but the bottom line is that it is a fast-paced, skillfully structured, exciting, extremely violent and bloody piece of totally mindless entertainment.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Scott Cain
At a moment when Rambo-style blood-baths are thought to have fallen from favor, along comes Predator, which may not be the daintiest movie ever made but is a knock-your-socks-off thriller. Originality and pep still go a long way in moviemaking.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
Visually, Predator is a full-assault experience. Director John McTiernan mixes his range of shots with fast precision and full-blast effect.
ChrisStuckmann.com
Chris Stuckmann
A year before the release of Die Hard, McTiernan captured loads of suspense, terror, and sheer testosterone. They simply don't make them like this anymore.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Just about the epitome of '80s macho action.
