    I get why Arnold is able to win, thematically—he returns to a primal state and defeats the big bad imperial, technologically advanced thing killing guerrillas for sport, but the character billy does the same thing; he challenges predator to a fight with a knife and only loses because he doesn't have mud on himself yet. Not a fan of that, but I like the film. Also I wish there wasn't a moment where the predator spares Arnold in the finale act. I think just having a plan to kill him, failing, readjusting, and killing him would have worked better for me.

    88/99 I'm going to complain a lot, but overall this movie is fun and the production is much better than the prequels. Most of my complaints are pretty minor, some more important than others, but a lot of the "problems" at least create conflict which is good, or create intrigue, also good.

    Wonderful opening scene that is so Star Wars. Tons of tension and sets up character arcs. Can't ask for much more out of a fun actiony opener. Lot's…
