Predators (2010)
I'm very, very disappointed with this movie.
The beginning of the movie is interesting. However, the the further the movie goes to less interesting it becomes.
First. I don't like when movie makers think that viewers are so stupid that main character in the movie must explain to the viewers what is happening (i.e. these were hunting dogs, we are being hunted, this planet is strange, ...). This off course indicates that all other characters in the movie, except the main one off course, ale also super stupid to figure those things on themselves. This also shows that writers and the director had not idea how to present this story, in such a way that no explanations are needed.
Second. Characters. I just don't care about them. Why should a viewer care about brainless killers, criminals? The only person I cared for was the Russian man, since he at least had a family and looked as a decent person.
Third. As far as I could understand, in the movie tries to say that there are two kinds of predators, and one of them hunts the other kind? Why? Predators are a highly advance civilizations (they have advance weapons, spaceships), so why would they kill their own people in a hunt? It would be OK, if in the movie they said e.g. "This predator is a criminal according to a predator's law, and his punishment is being hunt down by his mates" or something similar.
To sum up, the movie was far from good
Command Performance (2009)
Very nice!
This is very nice Dolph Lundgren's movie that I really enjoined.
This movie is much better than Lundghren's previous movie (i.e. Direct Contact). Unlike the previous one, CP is well made. The biggest problem with DC was they they wanted to squize too much fancy action for the budget they had. As a result, almost everything in DC looked cheep and was of low quality. However, CP does not go this path. They wanted to get the best what they could with their budget. So it looks and feels much better than the DC. They stick with basic shooting and fighting.
There is nothing special about the story, its quite predictive.
To sum up, its very nice Lundghen's movie.
