So yesterday I finally watched the first two Predator films while today I watched the third and final one.
Predator: The storyline is simple yet effective, and it benefits for not taking itself TOO seriously. The special effects were ahead of it's time. The cast was very well done, specially Arnold as Dutch, who was 'one of the crew' instead of a 'one-man army' like in many action movies at the time; that was a nice touch.
Predator 2: I liked how the setting changed to that of a jungle to a city, not only for the sake of variety, but also because it gives some glimpse into this Predator's (aka City Hunter) personality, being more reckless and ambitious than the one from the previous film (aka the Jungle Hunter); we also learn more of the species' modus operandi and whatnot. Danny Glover's performance as Mike Harrigan was solid.
Predators: I liked how this movie honored it's predecessors while still offering new elements to the series' lore. The acting was spot-on. The cinematography was solid. And the story is not overly ambitious, they play it straight and the focus is given more to building tension, which it manages to do very well.
