Predators (2010)
The sequel we've been asking for... no waiting for
Wow... that is the only word I have to explain how I feel about this movie... well not really, but it was a great movie. Basically this movie is about a group of random human "predators" kidnapped and thrown into the predator's endless game preserve(which happens to be an overgrown jungle). Now having no idea where they are or why their there they come to ban together and figure a way out of this jungle. Soon they realize that it's not any other regular jungle and it's another planet as well them being hunted. For the rest of the movie they try figuring out ways to get off the planet.
Alright now to begin this review I must say that THIS MOVIE ROCKED!!!! This movie was great... pretty much everything about it was great. The effects, the acting, the story, the action... pretty much all of it; however I did have this weird empty feeling that there should have been more gore, and I think in some ways deep down they probably wanted more gore but I'm fine with what I've been handed. As for Adrien Brody as the leading man, I thought he did phenomenal! He played a good Arnie follow up and a good character of his own nature. Even the co stars were great in this movie. Now the effects where awesome! They didn't go overboard with the CG but it still seemed to work for them. The story is original and unique, and it feels that empty feeling you have(or at least i had) when you wonder what could happen with each situation. Not very many movies can do that.
Now with having said this was a great awesome movie, and it was, but I do want to say its not as good as the original. Almost... but not quite. The original is a classic that could and will never be beat by any sequel... I'm sorry to say that but I know it's the truth and so do you.
Now all in all I give this movie an 8.5 out of 10 or an A- on the letter scale. This film was fun, creepy, funny... well the whole package. I highly recommend this film to ANYONE... who enjoys a great sequel to the Predator film base. Much better than AVP: Requiem.
Crocodile (2000)
actually pretty fun...
Alright... let's be honest here... when you come across a movie entitled Crocodile what can you expect at the most... I mean seriously. Your not gonna expect Jaws or any other big budget film... I guess what I'm getting at is that this movie is pretty decent for a low budget B monster movie. I mean the acting is a little below average considering it was most of the casts first movie. The effects are actually somewhat decent for the time, aside for a few shots of an ugly CG crocodile. The story has been done over and over but that's the fun of it, in my opinion, comparing them all together. The gore was decent and it was bloody enough to satisfy me. This movie, honestly, is what you'd expect from a B movie, and you can't really ask for anything more of it... you just can't. But i do believe this was the first to start the whole cheesy B crocodile movie phase but this one actually executed it pretty well. It's entertaining, fun, hilarious, cliché, and cheesy but that's what i look for when watching a film like this. So if you happen to look for the same things I look for one coming upon a film such as this than i recommend it, but if your looking for a Lake Placid then don't watch it.
