I liked it, my only complaint is that it turned into a completely different movie by the end.I am all about The Abyss baby!!! There is some action lol. How about the sub fight. God I love that flick!
Danny Glovers perfromance was awful IMHO but then again I've never been much of a fan. The movie had a very generic cop chases after moster and doesn't care if he has to try to kill it to stop it but the goverment wants to capture and study the monster story. That "concrete jungle" angle is obvious and silly and the movie was just plain boring as hell. The charm of the first picture is it's simple man v.s. monster story, the second is just a lame generic mess that has very little to do with the original. Why do movies always have to try to explain everything. Who cares if the aliens were hunting people for 100's of years? Whocares about what their spaceship looked like. The director of the first picture was right on in his comentary. The first one is something truely special and if you can't see that I can't help you. One things for sure more people rightly fondly remember the first one, the sequel isn't remembered at all...and for good reason.
cops chasing alien monsters while the government tries to capture said alien monster is generic? have you ever seen aliens? it's about a group of marines there to dispose of alien monster but the government is, in fact, trying to capture one. is that generic also?
i think the fact that the scenery was changed and that it had little to do with the original made it good. i wouldn't want to see Predator 2 in the jungle again and i wouldn't have wanted to see Arnold come back and fight another predator. i think that would've made it cheesy. making it indirectly related to the original gave the movie a sense of scope imo. it showed that not everything that the predators do on Earth is directly related to the first Predator movie. as for the concrete jungle aspect...i couldn't think of any other place to stage a sequel other than in a city. of course there are other jungles and forests and what not but that would've made Predator 2 feel like a rehash. i thought putting the Predator in a city was the obvious next step.
um...i do. those parts of the movie gave great insight into the Predator's culture and intentions.
um...i never said it wasn't. i never said Predator 2 was on par with part 1, but i don't think it's nearly as crappy as a lot of people (including you) try to make it out to be.
there are plenty of posts that prove that statement flat out WRONG...
I must be the only one who liked Die Hard 2 over Die Hard 3.
that was 91 dude. part 1 was in the 80's.
Dammit! I was hoping everyone would just assume it was released in the 80's... close...that was 91 dude. part 1 was in the 80's.
