danny glover was too old for this shit and still managed to kill one, and he only got a handgun

He got lucky that that predator was retarded though.

Predator 2 was a pretty bad movie all things considered.

No, the shitty acting from Paxton and those gangs in the beginning really threw it off for me. Felt like an unfunny comedy.
>>
>>70922280
if you rely on them for years, maybe. limited use over short periods of time when you're already at your peak just to push you over that edge probably isn't going to kill you

You can find photos of Arnie in the hospital after his MASSIVE STEROID-RELATED HEART ATTACK.

Jesus, I know this board turns people into contrarians but it's fucking average at absolute best.

Major disappointment after the first one.

On a side note, why was Predator 1 so hated by critics? It's great.
>>
>>70922593
Most critics are just circle jerking assholes. Kinda like this site.

I guess they were just getting tired of action movies.

Also Total Recall.

It sure was. Not that Die Hard 2 is bad, Predator is just much better.
>>
>>70922593
I wasn't as good or focused, but Based Glover in full on hard ass murder mode, Paxton talking shit at 200 mph, Gary Busey bugging his eyes and and going out like a champ...it was fine. And the action had the same pre kiddy toughness we don't get nowadays. Perfect double bill man.

I loled all the way through predators

Reasonable points but I think you might be tinged by nostalgia. Go back and watch it. Less than the sum of those parts.

Cause it's the epitome of maniless and testorone which most low-test cuck reviewers will never experience.
>>
>>70922940
I watched it the other night and saw them both for the first time years ago on consecutive nights on TV. They're very different films and the first is definitely the best and an all time action classic, but the second has loads of great elements. The first is a single great piece and is really cohesive, the second is all over the place, but i love the places it goes. But yeah, can't deny the first is the best and can't be beaten, which is why i wish they'd leave it alone with further sequels.
>>
>>70922831
>Based Glover in full on hard ass murder mode
Still doesn't explain how he managed to beat a Predator.
>>
>>70923543
It's getting a remake m8

>>70923566
Because he's Danny fucking Glover, bitch.

Predator 2 was so good they couldnt make a sequel for fear of being compared to it.

>Anna is an still a Mexican but makes snide remarks about helping Americans when all they want to do is lock her behind a concrete wall
>the predator itself becomes a metaphor for American Capitalism
It's gonna be a wild ride.
>>
>>70923566
Well, if we're really going into it, the predator took on a full squad of Busey troopers in the meat fridge place and lost his cloak, then glover blasted him with a shotgun, so Preddy was injured. At least the movie paid service to it by weakening him before it went 1v1. Really though, he beat him cos it's a movie. Would have been cool if he'd lost, Preddy took him with him on his ship and the 2 teamed up fight Aliens in space, but that's a movie in my head.

"No."

It's a good action shitflick, but the acting and writing sucks. Builds tension good, though.
>>
>>70924066

Are you serious?

It's a fucking 80's action/horror hybrid.

Actually it is and it's a valid one.

If you don't understand an argument, it doesn't make it less valid. It only makes you a flaming faggot.

Still not an argument. Not that you'd know one even if it hits you on your empty head.

The final fight was bullshit. A cop vs a giant killing machine in close combat? And the cop wins? Bullshit.

You were probably thinking of Rachel Ticotin. Twat.

>this guy flies in the face of conventional wisdom that steroids will kill you
Most of the negative health effects of steroids come from the crazy diets people do to get to 6% bodyfat or just going way overboard with them like getting to 400lbs weight.

If you aren't on TRT on your 30s (or latest, by 40s) you are a retard
>>
>>70924240
I'm saying movie critics have a tendency of caring about writing and acting when they review movies, and Predator is lacking in both.
>>
>>70924869
Literally no fault in either acting or writing in Predator, it's just that critics are just normal people that will get sucked to echo chamber.
>>
>>70924654
A cop from LA
>>
>>70924889
No fault except that it sucks. Sorry for criticizing your childhood's substitute masculinity role models, but it's just not an impressive movie.

The writing and acting, I mean. It does some other aspects well.

So what is about 'writing' or 'acting' that is bad in Predator?

>why don't critics like us

>>70925003
They all act pretty smart up until the film turns into a horror film. They can all act well enough to be believable in their expression of horror, loss and combat. He outwits the Predator by dropping shit on his head and using his brains in general and desu. he was covered in all sorts of shit in the first scene he tricks the Predator.

Seems like you've actually missed the entire narrative of the film and what it was going at as an anti-action film commentary while you latch on things that barely matter.

You are boring.
>>
>>70925117
>Predator is an anti-action film
Nigger what?
>>
>>70925157
read >>70925117 the last sentence, 'You are boring.' You clearly can't read film, so my advice is: watch more films.

Or just read any popular essay on Predator for fuck's sake.
>>
>>70923566
it was his home turf it was his jungle.
>>
>>70922188
Predator 2 isn't nearly as bad as you fags make it out to be, it's pretty fucking enjoyable. Nowhere near the level of P1 though.
>>
>>70925211
I have read some dumb essays about Predator, like how it's about AIDS or something. Sorry, Predator isn't about AIDS. Predator is about an idiotic alien hunting special forces soldiers. Some throwaway one-liners and penis imagery doesn't make the movie more than it is.
>>
>>70925463
God you are dumb.
>>
Am I the only one who always thought there was something off about Predator 2? I remember when I watched it it seemed like the way they filmed it was weird and that the camera was always slightly shaky or something. May have just been a bootleg copy I watched.
>>
>>70925480
Let me guess, you're one of those faggots who defend Conan as a masterpiece because it's about the deep and meaningful "riddle of steel"?
>>
>>70925567
You get pointed out the most common interpretation of Predator and you start shitposting about something about actors physique and AIDS.

You are a literal fucking moron, neck yourself.
>>
>>70925589
>tells others to read Predator essays
>hasn't read the AIDS interpretation
Embarrassing.
>>
>>70922815
I would go full Predator on her Vonchita if you know what I mean.

>>70925463
>I have read some dumb essays about Predator, like how it's about AIDS or something.
You're not talking about that theory that the whole movie is about male impotence, particularly the scene where they light up the forest but hit nothing? Come on, nobody believes that shit, probably not even the guy you're arguing with.
