Which is why I don't take any of your Free > Zeppelin posts seriously.

Predator 2 had me rolling on the floor, so I'm not sure Ori is that far off.

I liked the voodoo gangster dudes and the way Bill Paxton was oddly sweaty in every single scene.

Nah, you've just got to learn some math.

Crazy Gary Busey + "Too Old For This ****" Danny Glover + Spastic Bill Paxton = Legendary

This man understands

Predator 2 funnier. I'll give you that. The original is still miles ahead of it in suspense and WTF moments.

Predator 1 is fun but still overrated.

On its own, or against the rest of the franchise?

I watched it a few months ago and was surprised that trying to be an action movie castrated the horror and trying to be a horror movie kept it from being a truly satisfying balls out gun romp. It doesn't quite excel at anything, it just has an amazing creature design paired with peak Arnold.

Couldn't disagree more. It was a perfect marriage between the ultra gun romp movies and the space alien movies of that era - with the Alien making the macho super tough mercenaries want to cry for their mommies when the final **** hit the fan.

Wonder how much critical perception is altered when seeing something when it first hit the big screen, as to seeing it in hindsight.

Alien 2 and Predator are both unmatched in perfectly marrying the super confident human uber soldier and an alien creature - who bitch slaps the **** out of the supposed elite humans for the bulk of the movie.
