What Parents Need to Know
About Predator
Parents need to know that this macho sci-fi action adventure has lots of bloody violence -- not to mention artillery and gun fetishism (although, in the end, it's the low-tech death traps that prove most effective...). The villain is a laser-wielding alien that cuts down many of the heavily armed heroes, leaving hideously skinned corpses in its wake. Lots of strong language; some drinking, smoking, and drug references. The lone female character doesn't get much to do compared to star Arnold Schwarzenegger and his fellow male soldiers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the appeal of scary movies. Why is it fun to watch something that puts you on the edge of your seat? How do the scares in a movie like this compare to those in a typical slasher movie? Which do you find scarier? Why? Families can also discuss how the time period in which a movie is made affects it (beyond the quality of the special effects, that is). What political and historical events does the movie reference? If you don't know, how could you find out?

one of the best alien invader movies
Awesome action, explosions and gross alien and gore effects, it's what you'd expect in an sci-fi/war movie starring Arnold who is shirtless most of the time and also, as Arnold says to the Predator, and I agree "You one ugly mother f***er."
- I rate this title iffy for age 14 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate language
Pretty good slasher movie, gets pretty graphic and suspensful. Not for little kids, who will get freaked from the skinned men and other such horrors. A lot of profanities too, like f--k and bullsh-t

awesome Sci-Fi horror movie
THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME! But they say the f-word 15 times. There was so much violence and gory stuff though. There are people being shot by laser cannons and stuff. This movie was great.

A Bone Chiller that will Make You Cringe and Look Away then Make You Stand and Clap
This was a very good move. As a sci-fi horror fan, I was wowed. I saw this when I was fourteen and it scared me crapless. The fact that the thing's practically invisible is scary 'cause you never know where it is. It was a great movie, but quite gory. I suggest that this is shown to no one under fifteen and even then with discretion. The language is used liberally including uses of f--k, s--t, and p---y. The image of skinned men is frightening and graphic. The gruff mercenaries and backstabbing government military men are not exactly great role models. This movie well earns its R rating and I suggest that no one under fifteen be able to see this, and even then, use discretion.

Arnold V.S. Predator is Okay
Predator is an alright action/horror film. The characters are offed in a sort of slasher movie system, with one getting killed after another. However, Predator is not scary or even very suspenseful, just bloody. The movie is done well though, and the predator is a great enemy. If you're a fan of Sci-fi action or slasher films, you might like this, but no promises. Parents should know that there is a lot of bloody violence and language in this film. Violence includes; a man is blasted in the side of the head (bloody), and man is blasted in the chest with his busted rib cage visible (bloody), a man is found hanging from a tree and skinned (very bloody), a dead mans skull and spine are ripped out of his body, a man gets a knife through the head, a mans arm is blown off, a mans guts are found on the ground, a man is stabbed through the chest many times, a mans head is blown up and many, many men are torn apart and killed by guns. The violence is all by 80's standard though, and not very realistic. There are also a handful of profanities, including f**k, s**t, p***y, and f****t.

Great movie
First of all, Im 13, not 12. I was when I signed up for this thing, but i cant update my age. Anyway, i thought this movie was awsome. There is violence, blood, and gore, but its usually fairly brief and most of the time not over the top. There are a few grisly images/scenes such as skinned people, the Predator blasting off a guy's head, and (one of the most violent parts) the Predator shooting THROUGH a guy, and almost blowing him in half. This movie doesn't have much of a plot, but thats kind of the point. You have no idea where this thing came form. All you know is that it's after Arnold, and hes scared like hell. All in all this is a good movie. I recomend it for people 13 and up.
