Review of Poseidon (DVD)

Weaker Predator sequel

Advantages: Action and adventure
Disadvantages: Weaker story

...Predator. It was called simply, Predator 2. Predator 2 is set in Los Angeles and follows Lieutenant Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) who is involved in a battle to bring the drug lords to justice. However when these criminals are being slaughtered, along with fellow police officers, Harrigan is told to stay out of it, but he is shocked when his investigations reveal, that a powerful extraterrestrial being is responsible. He discovers the Predator (Kevin ...
...prove difficult to defeat the Predator as it can turn invisible and blend into the background. This is a decent film with a good story, but it definitely is not as good as the first film. I think that Danny Glover does well in the lead role, but I felt that the script was a bit weak and lacking in quality. The supporting cast includes Gary Busey, Bill Paxton, Ruben Blades and Robert Davi. The special effects and action scenes are impressive but are ...

Review of Predator 2 (DVD)

If it bleeds, we can kill it!

Advantages: Great Arnie film
Disadvantages: Nothing really

...through the jungle, an unseen predator hunts Dutch and his men for no apparent reason, and it will take all their guile and experience to combat this new and deadly foe. The Cast and Performances Arnie is a mean machine in this film, and he is joined by an array of musclebound stars in his mission. His performance is very good, but does not require as much acting, as this is a largely action based role with the sci-fi and special effects aspect ...
...hunter becoming the hunted. The Predator is a marvel in special effects, and the FX team must get as shout out to them, although the man who wore the suit, Kevin Peter Hall, said he couldn 't see a damn thing with the mask on. The scenery is well chosen, with filming being taken in the jungle. The actors had to be buff all the way through the film, and it is reported that director John McTiernan and lead man Arnie lost a stone each due to the nature ...
