This movie has it all... CGI (but it looks "too CGI"), romance, action (NOT exactly Hong Kong-action but...) and sci-fi (well, as sci-fi as you can get with black motorcycle-helmets and laser-gunsights)...

Because I'm "euro-trash", I didn't know who Eric Roberts was, but now I do... I'm starting to understand why he is portrayed like he is in the South Park episode "Cartman's Mom Is Still A Dirty Slut"...

Since I've already bought the movie, I might watch it a couple of times, but on a scale of 1 to 10? 3...

This is one of the FEW Sci-Fi movies I have watched over and over and over and (you get the point (others like it are CONTACT))... Although the plot is highly unrealistic (at least I think so), it makes you think "Do we entrust computers with too much? Should we make them so "smart" that they can do most stuff for us?" This is one of the movies where I am impressed with Arnold... He plays his role almost PERFECT (hardly any lines, just a cold, rutheless killing-machine). And Linda plays her role exelently too.

The movies has a lot of everything needed for a good action flick: lots of action, lots of explosions and lots of chasing/stalking (and a tad of love), but it manages to balance in the grey area between too much and too little, making this a true masterpiece.

The story of a world overrun by 'borgs, using the few remaining "fleshies" as slaves can easily get boring, but this movie keeps the excitement up from beginning 'till end... (Not too gory to watch with your girlfriend, but not too lovey-gooey to watch with the guys (have you seen 5-6 guys gathering for a night of a few beers, some pizza and Titanic?))

There aren't many movies like this one...

The Predators are (literally) back it town (L.A. to be exact).

What happens when someone/something is rampaging through the underworld, killing baddies (and a few cops too if I remember correctly)? Some bright cop gets the great (read: stupid) idea to find out what's really going down... When he THINKS he knows what makes the Predator tick, the Predator shows the audience who's the boss in this movie.

The story is a bit thin, and plays on the cult-status of Predator (1) , but the movie manages to portray the feeling of fear better than Predator (1).

More high-tech weapons, more action, more stalking in "familiar" surroundings, more more more. This movie has it all... More suspence than action (YEY!!!).

I gave this movie a 7...

The story is well written and the effects are even better, but the movie suffers because of "I'll-be-back"-Arnold. He gives the movie a typical "Arnold-movie" feel (you know, the "we'll-use-a-lot-of-shooting-and-mindless-action-to-cover-for-a-poor-script" ). I seriously think the movie would be better with someone else in the lead role. Now to the special effects: now they are AWESOME. The warping caused by the Predator's cloaking is (if I'm not mistaken) computer generated. Compared with the stop-motion used on the T-800 in "The Terminator" (which is VERY lame), they are really ahead of their time...

The setting is great, but the setting in Predator 2 is better. Anyone can hide in a dense jungle, but it isn't THAT easy to hide in a big city ("Look mommy, a ghost!"). The movie gives you a lot of those "I know you're out there, but I just can't see you". This keeps the movie above moderately interesting 'till the end...

I give the movie a 5...
