I'm a big fan of the character "Predator" and the first movie shows it off well. Its well shot with the locations well chosen and the special effects not giving an idea of the "Predator" itself until well into the movie. Relatively good acting by Arnie, although its good he doesn't have too many lines. The opening sequence where he meets General Phillips can spoil the movie if you don't like lame lines. Like the jungle scences and the sequences where you only see the infrared images from the "Predator". Predator 2 is a good movie but it misses the character of Dutch as in the book the movie should have been based on- "Concrete Jungle". Bit creepy feel to it with the dark shots used. Like the ending scene inside the Pred ship (note the "Aliens" skull in the background !)but could do without the character of Jerry Lambert. He gets annoying at times.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" in the top right of the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
