The two Predator movies from 87 & 90, I will not have
the Alien Vs. Predator movies, as I see these as just
straight gore for gore's sake movies, and I don't watch
those!!
PREDATOR(1987):
The adage is the first is always the best! While not always
true, it is definitely true here! Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Jesse Ventura and Carl Weathers do a great job here, as
well as Kevin Peter Hall as the Predator! Kinda bloody,
but a good story that should keep you riveted to your
seat! B+
From an IMDb.com customer:
Boy, if this isn't a can't-lose proposition: take an (almost)
all-male cast of commando badasses - plus Shane Black
and his awesomely awful jokes - throw 'em in a jungle
with a murderous alien hunter and put John McTiernan
in the director's chair? Win-win, that one. PREDATOR is
a wicked mix of Rambo artillery, inventive sci-fi and
blockbuster action that still holds today. It's tightly
paced, the cast all have great macho personality,
and when an exhausted Schwarzenegger flies out on
that chopper, you feel like you've just seen something
special. It's one of those movies you just have to sit
down and watch if it's on cable.

So few movie sequels live up to the reputation of
the first movies, and this one is no exception!
While this had some decent actors in it, they
unfortunately can't save a bad script and bad
acting by almost all involved! A few exceptions,
especially Gary Busy(quite a surprise!!) Worth
a watch just cause it's a part 2, but that's about it! C+
From IMDb.com:
For many people who saw the first Predator movie
and liked it, this might be a bit of a disappointment.
However, for those of us who saw the first Pred flick
and loved it....this is another cool installment from
the deadliest alien to grace the silver screen. This
time his victims range from Colombian and Jamaican
drug lords to gang members to cops. Equipped with
even more advanced weaponry, the Predator goes
on the rampage in LA, thrilling us with some great
action scenes. The film also shows us the deadly
being has an honourable and sympathetic side to
him....a truly great hunter....Check it out, it's a
good action movie with plenty of thrills and spills.
