Predator (Schwarzenegger 1987)

[Milo Wolf]

Predator is like the perfect Whopper from Burger King. You order it on a day when the produce is fresh and the tomato is just at the right stage of ripeness. It comes right off the grill, without sitting under the heat lamps for ten minutes. You're hungry, and it really hits the spot. It's delicious.

And Predator is a fine example of what it is: an action film, in which everything except the action - the plausibility, the writing, the acting, the cinematography - ranges from competent if boring to eye-rolling.

But that Whopper? It's still just an assembly-line burger. And Predator? It's the cinematic equivalent.

Arnold once walked into a Burger King, ordered a Big Mac and got one.

Probably, still could. Who am I kidding, those kids wouldn't know who he is.

Top listed classic movie.

I found the urban setting and grizzled older cop Danny Glover as the hero to be a good touch. Very opposite of the original movie.

There was a major easter egg in the end of that film also.

Fantastic movie, though Total Recall is my favorite Arnold movie.

I haven't watched it a long time, but it's great. I recall even seeing it in the theater as a kid.
