Great film

Advantages: all of it!
Disadvantages: not much

...in total). The first Predator movie is an action classic, with it's then pioneering in-your-face, first-person action sequences, setting a standard for action movies of the late 80's. This is also one of Arnie's best movies after the Terminator films(bar number 3), with some great "dialogue" between Arnie's character Dutch and Dillon, played by Carl Weathers - not forgetting Arnie's one-liners like "knock, knock" and "stick around". The DVD itself ...
...scenes and outtakes. Now, Predator 2 is not really a sequal, but a different story invloving the Predator, set in Los Angeles in the then future 1997. The film stands up on its own as a solid action movie, with a great performance from Danny Glover in the lead. It has that infamous scene with the "Alien" skull in the trophy room of the Predator ship, which spawned the Alien Vs Predator comics, and ofcourse the inevitable movie. Again the DVD is ...

predator/predator2. my opinion

Advantages: great if you like lots of fighting and aliens, of course there is only one
Disadvantages: Not good if you don't like gore and being made to jump a bit

There is plenty of gore, lots of flesh ripped off hung up bodies! Arnie, of course, makes the first film that much better. The alien has plenty of weapons and defences, including the ability to become almost invisible. We also find out why he is here. The first film starts with a bunch of soldiers in the jungle on a rescue mission ,they think they will only fight humans, wrong! Also they have been lied too. (government coverup?) They also think ...
...the predator. Watch out for the pretty good effect of an invisible alien rushing through the forest. Loads of killing later, Arnie turns in to a hero of extreme proportions, of course, but the effects are good and a fairly good take on the bad alien comes to earth theme. The plot thickens in the next movie.The alien turns up in a modern American city. Don't miss the alien barging his way through astounded peoples apartments when he has to make ...

ARNIES SECOND BEST FILM BEHIND TERMINATOR 2.

Advantages: LOADS AND LOADS AND LOADS. HE HE HE
Disadvantages: NON NON AND ERM....NON.

...EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO WATCH PREDATOR I WAS GLUED TO THE TV REPLAYING OVER AND OVER THIS FILM. MY MOTHER HATED IT. BLESS HER. GUNS, BLOOD, GUTS AND A STEALTH ALEIN HUNTER CHASING HIS PREY AROUND THE JUNGLE. WHAT THE HELL MORE DO WANT IN AN ACTION FILM. NOT MUCH I TELL THEE. AND I TELL THEE SOMETHING ELSE. ARNIE DOESNT MAKE GOOD MOVIES ANYMORE, HE'S TOO FAT. SO BUY AND CHERISH FOREVER THIS ONE TIME CLASSIC AND ITS NOT SO GOOD BUT STILL PRETTY GOOD SEQUEL. ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...
