So I got the bluray of this movie for my birthday and just tonight got around to watching it. I'm not sure if it's because I've gotten older or maybe my tastes have become pickier but I found the acting and a lot of the dialogue to be B-movie quality and cheesy. Oh well, what makes the film still watchable for me are all of the new Predator weapons and getting to see the inside of the Predator ship and the legendary trophy case with the Alien head in it.

Not due to age, I remember thinking that in the theater when it came out. Such a good cast, but kind of wasted, don't you think? A lot of names in there, but most don't get enough screen time or character development.
The Predator was cool, and I liked the weapons too. I thought the ship with the trophies and hint at AvP made the movie as well. Still a fun flick to watch on a regular basis.

Predator 2 was garbage, sorry.

i agree with brennus.

so at least it isn't a sign of ageing

Yup, I blame the director and scriptwriters for that. We all know that Danny Glover, Bill Paxton and Ruben Blades can act.


Gary Busey was his typical over-the-top, intense self.

Without Ahnold it didn't have a chance.
I definitely didn't like Predator two as much as the first one. It had its moments though and since I haven't seen it in a long time I would watch it again.

Imo, Maria was the best thing about Predator 2.

I liked AvP 1 more than Predator 2. However, Predator 2 still blows away AvP Requiem. That one film elevated the rest of both franchises to unforeseen heights.

I really like the first AvP, even if it's a little thin with the alien gestation etc.
I hope the new project has the feel of the first Alien movie though, I want something more scifi and a little less action. More exploration. Pretty sure that's what we'll get.

Seeing as Prometheus is directed by Ridley Scott as well I'm pretty sure we will get that indeed.

I also like AvsP 1 and even own the dvd and for the most part it's a pretty solid action sci-fi film.

Hard to know. Ridley today is not 70s or 80s Ridley. He even states in the commentary of Blade Runner that if he did it today it would be very different.
