Is kinda entertaining but mostly extremely mediocre. Glover is good but the predators should keep their masks on.

Watchable? Sure but it's a deeply flawed movie that is nowhere near as fun as the original. Glover was a great lead but the rest of the cast looks incredibly weak in comparison to the cast of the original. Having an almost dystopian settingWatchable? Sure but it's a deeply flawed movie that is nowhere near as fun as the original. Glover was a great lead but the rest of the cast looks incredibly weak in comparison to the cast of the original. Having an almost dystopian setting in LA felt really out of place, even for a sci-fi film. I would have toned down that setting, focused on a more modern LA with Glover investigating a series of gruesome murders and then realizing that it is this creature (the predator) behind it all. That would have been far more than the actual story we got.… Expand

It could have worked, but the execution was terrible. There were too many things going on here with a secret government organization, gang war, a Predator from outer Space, and a gung-ho cop all in a 10 year future setting with out of control crime, and a heatwave from global warming. It was like Aliens meets Robocop. Danny Glover did a good enough job, but essentially played a mash up of his character and Mel Gibson's from Lethal Weapon with the Maverick attitude, his defiance of his superiors and the feds and somehow was the hero coming out on top as everyone else was incompetent and dying. The camera work was shoddy during the action sequences so you struggled to see what was going on at times, and the effects were lacking for its era. The plot didn't make much sense, and the dialogue was frequently cringey. Bill Paxton whom played Glover's new partner was especially annoying with unconvincing acting that frequently was over the top, and would have even been irritating in b-rated horror movies.

The Predator was cool, with some new gadgets, and the non-stop action was still fun at times with a pretty cheesy tone. The first movie was much better with the pacing, and Arnold was much more convincing than Glover as a match for the Predator.… Expand

This is the first time that I think that the sequel will not be as good as the original. As far as sequels go they're isn't really that terrible about them. I just can't find anything really spectacular about them or even that good. I was actually looking forward to see Predator 2 and I gotta say, it's not as good as the first film. The visual effects look very different much like the first Predator and kinda declining for the most part. While Arnold Schwarzenegger not returning, Danny Glover is here to star in this sequel along with Gary Busey, Ruben Blades, Maria Conchita Alonso, and yes, Bill Paxton. It's so nice to see him in this Predator sequel after he stared in Aliens but aside from that it's not even close to be a good film Predator 2 actually is. Course he could get a laugh but there's not much. The music by Alan Silvestri is similar to the original but for the most part it is similar. Danny Glover and Gary Busey met together in the film called Lethal Weapon as the cop and Gary as the baddie. Recently I've saw the list of NC-17 rated films and I saw Predator 2 in it and I don't know what that is. For some reason it says "Originally rated NC-17 for strong graphic violence and gore; edited version rated R for strong violence and language, and for sexuality and drug content." so yeah, it's originally rated R because it's not that bad, I don't see any gore in it so I guess that is it. So this is pretty much all I can say about the Alien films and the Predator films which I think Alien Resurrection and Predator 2 actually killed the franchise even though the second one ended here. So overall I'm not a huge fan of this one. I'm sure a lot of those fans out there who are not a fan of the Alien sequels apart from Aliens and people who aren't a huge fan of this. So unlike Alien 3 however, this film is just an all right experience for it's own time but not for everybody who are the fans of the original Predator and Aliens.… Expand

Okay, This Is Just Weird
A Predator in a city!?, That is kinda ridiculous and funny at the same time.

It's okay. Not as good than the first one, but it's enjoyable, with good deaths, special effects and a convincing Danny Glover.

I consider the first Predator to be a great film, and unfortunately the rule that the second part will not surpass the quality of the first one has been applied here.

Some movies have managed to do that, but Predator 2 unfortunately did not. The jungle has been replaced with Los Angeles. That's a nice change though and again a slightly different take on the Predator, this time in an urban setting. On the one hand, it's lost a bit of its charm. At least in my opinion. The jungle suited me much better. What was great, though, was the ending. I won't spoil it, but in short the wait was worth it and I devoured the last few minutes. Overall, for me, this is an above average film that I recommend only to fans of the franchise.… Expand

A tacky crap sequel. It really was that bad. Sometimes painful to watch other times mildly exciting. There are some cool bits but only cool because of memories of the first film.

There are some cool bits but only cool because of memories of the first film. On the plus - the story keeps moving and rarely pauses with some cool action pieces. One the minus - this is a silly film with many painful moments; this is mainly because of the script I think. A blemish on the memory of the original. On second thoughts, this can be a fun movie even if it is unbelievable.… Expand

Better than the first one. Konrad Cruze is basically the villain in this one so that’s funny. Watch The Nest from Gumball instead
