Review of Predator 2 (1990) by Marischa B — 24 Dec 2009
Cheesy but ultraviolent and fun. It's underrated in my book. Maybe it's just because it was a favorite from childhood, but the action scenes are just brutal here. The opening drug war scene was just flatout great.
I'm sorry, but I haven't seen anything as brutal as that since. I dig the Jamaican undertones there's definitely a coherent plot, Danny Glover is great, nice to see Bill Paxton and Maria Conchita Alonso on board from Aliens (continuity people!).
The Predator in this film is alot more arrogant and I'd argue designed nicer also. Anyone who says this movie is bad apparently hasn't seen Alien vs. Predator 1/2. This movie certainly surpasses them in story and entertainment value.
This is not the greatest movie of all time, nor is it a true film like "Aliens", but it works and it's downright fun and VIOLENT!
