Movie Reviews of Predator 2
Movie Review: More fun than #1
Summary: 4 Stars
The original Predator was supposed to be moody and eerie and all, but its really just a vehicle for Arnold who isn't a good enough actor for something so serious.Predator 2 throws all that out the window, in favor of just plain fun. Its suspenseful and absolutely hillarious at the same time. In this setting, bad acting is a virtue! As if the setting and situation weren't ridiculous enough, you have the always-awful Robert Davi and the usually bad Bill Paxton and Kent McCord. And that's not to mention Morton Downey, Jr! Wow! is all I can say.
There is something about the corny, cliched dialog, badly delivered--along with ultra, ultra violence--against a backdrop of big budget special effects that is just a winning combination. Danny Glover is fine (although his jacket doesn't fit) but I'm telling 'ya, if they had used Bruce Willis instead of Danny Glover people would be calling this a classic.
Watch this with anyone over 15 and you will laugh your sides off.
Movie Review: Surprising Good!
Summary: 4 Stars
Danny Glover does a good job following up as the new prey to be hunted. This time it is in a future Los Angeles that looks like the Detroit of Robocop, with gangs and crime running rampant. Glover, a much better actor than Arnold gives a more believable and highly entertaining performance as an LA Cop who gets pulled into the pursuit of the alien predator who is preying on the "toughest" good and bad guys in LA for sport.Maria Conchita Alonzo and Ruben Blades also put in good performances as Glovers partners on the LA Police Force. Gary Busey as a seedy government agent looking to track and capture the predator alien. Little does he know that the alien has a lot more tricks up his sleeve than he bargained for.
The movie is begging for a follow-up because in one scene we see a whole slew of predator alien hunters showing off their trophys.
Movie Review: Great Predator Sequel
Summary: 4 Stars
Sure they probably wanted Schwarzenegger to do the sequel. We all know the success of Terminator 2. But those that have seen this movie as myself know that it stands on its own merit. They put together a great cast and the storyline is good. The music is edgy and mixes well with the action on screen. I'm glad they didn't do another jungle one. The city makes the most sense, and hot one like LA is logical. I was impressed with Danny Glovers performance. Is it any wonder why we liked him so much in the Lethal Weapon series. This is well worth seeing. Any fan of the original should love it and any fan of action SciFi's should enjoy it. I only wonder why in the world this wasn't a trilogy like so many others. Where is #3? I would love to see Duane "The Rock" Johnson in a third Predator. The DVD is a great buy.Movie Review: Predator II
Summary: 4 Stars
Although not as good as the first, this is certainly not a bad movie. It is very good, actually. This will please more of the Dark Horse comics fans than the Arnold Govinator or Jesse "pro-wrestling" Ventura fans. The first is comparable to Terminator in fan base popularity. The second, although very good, did not have Arnold as a star so was immediately labeled as bad by most critics. Danny Glover is nothing to sneeze at or underestimate and Gary Busey is not either. Underrated by most critics, period. If you like Predator, Terminator, or Aliens vs. Predator(look for an Alien skull in Predator 2 on the spaceship wall; it is there!), you will like Predator II!Movie Review: A decent sequal
Summary: 4 Stars
After Predator was a big hit they made a sequal.The cast is completly different(with the exception being Kevin Hall as the next predator).This story follows a cop named Michael(Danny Glover) who is trying to solve these brutal murder cases all over New York. What becomes of this is a entertaining movie and a good time. Bottom line this is a decent sequal but I don't think it is as good as predator.With the sequal predators coming out in July I look foward to seeing the predators back and fully load to take some heads.
