The first movie has a certain one off B movie charm coupled with a typical Arnie star vehicle of the time.

The second moved the franchise on greatly.

hell yeah, couldn,t have said It better myself. furthermore, I didn,t even miss Arni in the entire movie. To me, predator2 and aliens have one important thing in common, both are the perfect sequels.

In this argument I think I will either side with Mustafuck or Neverfate. I enjoyed both movies. First one did bring some more action and gore but there were parts in the second one that I preferred. It brought conspiracy into play, it was a bit more realistic of a Predator hunting in the city than in a jungle, I liked the ending to Predator 2 because I knew there would be a sequel and I really enjoyed seeing the Predator giving Danny Glover the pistol from 1765 I think it was think that right there could be a story. Bad parts about Predator 2, it tried to say the Predator was younger and therefore better than the first one and they had a Xeno's skull in the Predator Ship at least it was only one though.

It sounds like a pervert watching little kids. Sorry to say.

What Darkness said, also with the jungle setting the commandos are alone in the middle of no where. And the fact that they had to rely on 'Boy scout' traps gave the film that extra bit of tension.

That is true. But there are still parts I prefer in Predator 2.

If to choose between those two, then for me the win takes first movie. For predator the jungle seemed to be more suitable place to be and to hunt than in the city. First one had somewhat better atmosphere ...

Although I haven't seen them for several years now, so, maybe after watching them again my opinion could change.
