<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>Good movie, although the graphics are out of date. Really good for the time though. Not much of a plot, but a good action movie. I realized, during the end crecits, that Jesse Ventura was one of the guys in the movie. Kinda surprised me when I saw it. Didn't recognize him till I saw his name next to his character.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: justify; '>"I ain't got time to bleed." Predator kicks ass. Too bad the sequel was such a piece of shit.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>That movie was out in '85 or '86. The special effects were all great except from the Predator's point of view. Jeez.....even a lizard can see better than that.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>I'm going to agree with Lee on this one. The first one kicked ass, the second one was just your below average cheesy sci-fi</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>Well... the "effects" were made with a computer, so they are graphics.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Definitely one of the greats of the 1980's. If only they'd finally get around to doing a worthy sequel... it's been ages since even part two.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>We aren't talking about a lizard. There's many examples of animals that have really poor eyesight. Bats and sharks, for one.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Definitely. Hell, that was the most "planned" of any sequel so far (as much as "how close it came to being made")</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Yeah but they have ears to compensate and sharks had electrical receptors. That alien had two forward looking eyes and a hell of an acid trip.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>No, we invented clothes and put them on. Thus, the amount of fur we had was no longer a factor in evolution and it became phased out..</div>
