It is really good. As a kid I always watched Arnold movies but I considered it just another one of his movies. Now I think it’s one of his best
Predator might be the perfect action movie

predator or aliens like already mentioned. ventura getting killed and duke picking up the minigun and unloading into the jungle then everyone else joining is my favorite scene. i think i saw somewhere that the director came up with that scene in response to the studio complaining that there wasnt enough shooting. the only tiny complaint off the top of my head is the initial scene of the movie with the spacecraft should have never seen the light of day.
Can't argue with the point OP makes.
Predator merges the action movie with the sci-fi/horror elements perfectly. Somehow makes these archetypes feel fully fleshed out as characters and you care about what happens to them and it is tight as hell...there is no real wasted screentime in this movie.

Predator is A1 visual testosterone
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
The Holy Trinity of 80s action. Although the 80s had many classics but those 3 are my favorites as well.
It always reminded me of The Thing (1982) intro but I still loved it. The movie is perfect.
It is. It’s my fav action flick of this ilk. Escape from New York is my fav movie of all time and that’s action too but this one feels different. Predator is also a dope satire of 80s action movies, which is something McTiernan speaks to on the commentary. Almost a warmup to what he and Arnold did with last action hero
Even the music is the shyt. It always gave me Back To The Future vibes which made sense since Alan Silvestri did both. I know we probably talked about this ad nauseam but @hex can speak on how the movie just turned after they raided the guerilla camp. It just turns into a completely different movie and I love it. Classic through and through. Billy was a real life psychopath.

Was Predator the only one that was any good? I don't remember seeing any of them except the Danny Glover joint

Predator 2 aint touching the original but still classic in its own right to me
