[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] [IMG]http://lobotomy.pleh.net/~flareupload/uploads/205/Respect.jpg[/IMG] Nough said. I can't think of any element of the movie where the Predator fell short. Best head prosthesis ever, all the way down to the yellow-green crocodile pigment. They sure were brave to make it as ugly as mother nature could think of, yet organic and believable. Good sound fx, the rasping purr combined with the alien heartbeat heard when we see his POV. The roar sounded like a crocodile mating call combined with a pissed off elephant bull. The tech base available to it (functional wrist-knives, shoulder cannon, laser sight) was simply marvelous in its detail. And a complete First Aid Kit for fuck's sake! And the helmet, don't get me started. Here's a designer who knows what "less is more" really means. Also, its coldblooded yet honorable persona (Klingon/Breen child in retrospect?) gave it the dignity and character of a true adversary, not some damned 50's, arm-waving seamonster that walks in 1mph so the heroes have time to run and stumble. I hope they don't ruin both the "Predator" and "Alien" legacy with their upcoming Versus-movie. Danny Glover did enough, reducing his Predator to some adolescent on his first hunt or something. Pleh.
