Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
jacksonprice-45501 Predator 2 is an alright movie but comparing it to the original is futile. None of the main cast return and the setting isn't a lush jungle anymore, it is downtown los angeles. But there are some decent set pieces and one in particular where the Predator descends upon a gang is quite good. Ably supported by well known faces like Danny Glover and Bill Paxton Predator 2 is better than a bad movie but not as good as a great one. Still if you have seen the original you can watch this.

Prometheus-Covenant Sooo... an alien hunter from God-knows-where travels to Earth to hunt gang members? A gang member's head is worth the hunt? It's funny how many times when the Predator was cloaked, people STILL saw it. Yeah, some "advanced" extraterrestrial that thing was, right? One thing I never understood was why was the Predator so interested in Danny Glover's character? Of all the characters, Danny Glover just happened to be the special snowflake to the Predator. The Predator stalks Danny Glover to the graveyard but doesn't attack him, so what was the Predator doing? In the beginning of the film, Danny sees the Predator (while it was cloaked. Yeah, some high tech that thing was, right?), the Predator is just staring at Danny, and the Predator jumps down. Umm... so why didn't the Predator try to kill Danny at that spot?The meathouse scene was ridiculous. The Predator is LITERALLY in the middle of guys with guns and everyone misses their shots. The Predator is right at their faces with that stupid looking spear and killing them. Those guys with guns couldn't kill an alien hunter that is OVER 2 METERS TALL and right at their faces... wtf! After Danny shoots the Predator and the Predator is knocked out, he takes off the Predator's mask and when the Predator wakes up, it grabs Danny's neck and throws him away. Why didn't the Predator just kill Danny at that spot? When the Predator throws its flying pizza cutter looking thing to Gary Busey, Gary's lower half body falls but where is his upper half? Stupid logic.The Predator tries to blow itself up all because Danny tackled it off a building. But Danny prevents the bomb by slicing off the Predator's arm and the Predator starts falling to an old woman's bathroom.You know, at this point, I think it's really funny how this Predator can't kill a cop, even when this Predator encountered Danny many times in this film.After the Predator treats its wounds and runs away, Danny follows it to its ship. Predator was running away from a cop? LOL! Aww, I guess a cop was too difficult for the Predator to kill, even though Danny at this point has no gun.At the end, Danny kills the Predator in hand to hand combat... wait a second, hand to hand? LMAO! And people think Predator is strong? Some old ass Predator shows up and gives Danny a gun from 1715 as a reward and the other Predators take the Predator's body. So according to this movie, when you kill a Predator, its leader will award you. If you belong to a clan where the leader would reward anyone who kills you, you might want to look for a better clan to join. You know, not only was this movie very stupid, but I think it's more stupid how retarded Predator fans think this franchise is connected to Alien franchise all because of a Xenomorph skull easter egg... EASTER EGG. EASTER EGG. EASTER EGG. They don't share the same universe, retards. Movies do easter eggs all the time, they don't mean anything. It was just a joke, the director said so if you watch the making of Predator 2. Are people really this dumb?Predators got killed by humans multiple times in hand to hand combat yet people think Predators can kill Alien? LOL! Arnold beat a Predator's ass by using sticks... STICKS LOL. If Predators are extremely strong then why the fvck do they hunt humans for sport? Predators are obviously not that strong compared to humans. Go ask Adrien Brody, he killed a Super Predator in hand to hand combat.Anyway, stupid movie, stupid plot, and stupid franchise. This franchise really needs to stop piggyback riding on the Alien franchise. It's getting old.
cmcastl Just watched Predator 2 again. Forgot how good it was.There is always the danger of the law of diminishing returns with sequels but not with this one. Danny Glover is a superb protagonist against the Predator. It was brave and right of the producers to let him, a black American, be the star. He carries the film marvellously. There aren't that many big budget films which will risk a black actor in the lead, even today.This a violent, often gory sci-fi thriller but it is a master-class in how a film of this genre should be done. Well-produced, scripted and acted. Excellent special effects for the time. The Predators really are ugly sons of *******, beautifully realised. All the supporting actors support to the full. It is, at the time of writing, sad to be reminded of how good the late, great Bill Paxton, God rest his soul, could be as a supporting actor. He cornered the market in being killed by aliens of one kind or another! This is a great sci-fi thriller but any great sci-fi thriller ought to harbour a philosophical moral or two. This one does. There was a time when human beings could only survive by being hunters, as well as gatherers, and I have no problem with that, at all. But when hunting becomes merely a Sunday or safari sport that is something with which I, as many like me, do have a problem. And these Predator aliens mirror this dilemma. You sense that with their superior technology they know the risk to them from their prey is usually minimal. It is good to see them get their come-uppence.IMHO The subsequent Alien versus Predator film was simply silly.
