Danny Glover is great, as is Bill Paxton. Plus, the scene in the underground train is one of the best action film sequences I've ever seen - so well constructed, claustrophobic, scary...Danhttp://www.top10films.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517398375131221.post-81667494709478720732011-09-21T14:18:10.092+01:002011-09-21T14:18:10.092+01:00Cheers for the comment Claire.

In terms of horror, I think it could be because the Aliens are more about instinct, with a hint of intelligence. But then the Predator is more calculating, and perhaps that's worse. Oh I don't know!<br /><br />Might have to check out Predators on Lovefilm by the sounds of it.filmrrusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242906606942840491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517398375131221.post-24768206176728871532011-09-20T18:55:57.879+01:002011-09-20T18:55:57.879+01:00Hi Russ!

Very well written post, I especially liked your reference to Top Gun :P<br /><br />Predator is absolutely brilliant: a straight-forward action movie with a kickass alien. Speaking of which, which is your favourite character out the two, Alien or Predator? Predator has my vote...<br /><br />I saw Predators at the cinema, though I haven't seen it since. There are quite a few nods to Predator and I thought it was an interesting idea. I'd give it 3/5.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517398375131221.post-82857182862330784592011-09-20T00:02:34.100+01:002011-09-20T00:02:34.100+01:00Maynard: I do think that Predator 2 is great fun, ...Maynard: I do think that Predator 2 is great fun, I think that it just lacks the extra spark that the first film had.<br /><br />Nostra: I read your review, glad you liked it. The second one is definitely worth a shot, I tries to open up the Predator universe a bit, and has that tantalising link to AVP towards the end.filmrrusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242906606942840491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517398375131221.post-87047246983933731802011-09-19T20:23:36.193+01:002011-09-19T20:23:36.193+01:00Nice to see you also saw this recently.

He's just one of Keys' stooges though, so he doesn't get to do very much.<br /><br />Scott: Cheers man. They are both quite quotable aren't they?
