Movie Reviews of Predator 2
Movie Review: The most under-rated sequel ever. I love this movie !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
To me, the Predator movies have become a cult classic. I will go as bold as saying that they are at the same level as Star Wars. I first watched the first movie on TV and thought "man, this movie rocks". What fascinates about Predator is that it portrays an alien lifeform that is not your typical hollywood "black eyed" and scrawny humanoid. It is actually believable. Everything from the flesh, face, hair, and movement is real. This is because there is actually a 7 feet tall actor underneath that monstrous costume. I might add that the actor who played the predator in both movies sadly passed away years ago. The technology the predator has is tremendously impressive and lethal: the flying blade, the retractable spear, the laser cannon, the cloaking device, and the spectral vision modes. It is interesting to think that the whole species thrive on hunting. I mean their culture, technology, and livelihood revolve around hunting other species; not necessarily for food but more importantly as trophies. In a way, they are no different than us. We go out on a safari to hunt lions and elephants with our sophisticated weaponry and camouflage. The animals are fearful and helpless of our weapons as much as we are of the predator's weapon. But the difference is we have intelligence and we can fight back. The predator is a fascinating and intelligent creature with a savage way of life. In this sense, we must respect and admire the creature for what he is: a lethal and powerful hunter. Predator 2 is an excellent sequel to the first. It has the perfect backdrop: Los Angeles, which in itself can be a jungle. We transitioned from a tropical jungle to a surburban jungle. This is the predator's richest hunting ground. The movie follows up on the previous by having the Gary Busey character who have been active in tracking the predator. He has learned from the previous encounter with this species and adapts human technology to conceal himself and capture the predator. But he is too arrogant and dismisses the predator's amazing ability to adapt. This is his own undoing. And this is where Danny Glover's come in and triumph. Using his brute and battle-hardened skills as a cop from the streets of LA, he just might be able to defeat this monster.
This movie is a perfect sequel to the first. That's why I bought it on DVD. I've been waiting for this for so long. I also have the first one on DVD, which has DTS. My only gripe is that the director and producers fail to make a documentary about the Predator phenomenon. There are thousands of fans out there who would like to see that. They have a making of the movie but that's not enough. There should be a documentary to explore the culture, homeworld, and traditions of this species. Who are the Predators? Where do they come from? Have they always thrived on hunting other species? Have they exhausted the prey on their planets that they have to hunt on other planets? When was their first contact with man? These are all questions that I would like the writer to answer. So stop reading this and go out and buy this DVD now!
