This movie used to get a lot of flack, but after watching The Predator 2018 this seems like a multiple oscar winner. Good action and adds to the predator lore in a non stupid manner.

I think it is better than its reputation and should be appreciated for what it is. It was not enough like the first movie for a lot of people which harmed the ratings.

It was not enough like the first movie for a lot of people which harmed the ratings. They tried something different than just a safe sequel while also trying to keep what made the prequel one of the best action movies of all time. It was a great action movie and also a deconstruction of action movies as the fitting description is that Predator hijacked the movie and made a team of action heroes look weak and pathetic. It was intense, unique and had a great cast. The sequel transfers the setting to the urban jungle of Los Angeles. It is nearly an all out war there as gangs are fighting against each other and the police tries to stop them. After an even for gang warfare unusual brutal murdering of gang members LAPD officer Mike Harrigan investigates the circumstances. He will find himself up against a foe who is far more menacing, challenging and dangerous that he can imagine. I stop here and say they transferred the set up well. It is a fresh take but different and did not please everyone back then. The story is engaging and delivers the feeling of dread by being forced against a seemingly unstoppable enemy. It is intense, menacing and hits all the right buttons of an action movie in this franchise. However it could not reach the same levels as the prequel but I think it is competent enough to be really enjoyable. It also helps that it had a good cast. Lets start with Danny Glover as Mike Harrigan who does an awesome performance and carries the movie. Kevin Peter Hall as menacing antagonist delivers the dread into the hearts of his enemies. Gary Busey as special agent Peter Keyes role was supposed to be Arnold Schwarzenegger aka (Alan) Dutch Schaefer. He is good but cant fit the shoes entirely. The rest of the cast delivers a good performance for its genre. Again it lacks in comparison to the prequel but also again this means not that it is garbage as the prequel had so much iconic characters. Visually the movie looks awesome. They nailed the ascetics and visuals you expect from the setting of LA, gangwarfare and culture of the gangs from Colombia and Jamaica (Would this be viewed as racist stereotype today?). I must warn here as some scenes are quite brutal (O.K. for me but a warning should be fair for other people). Special effects were nice for its time and worked well. It got the Predator feeling right. Overall I say it is underappreciated. Over the years many have changed their opinions about it. It was back then not as good as the original which lead to lower ratings than it actually deserved. I think it is a good action movie and worth watching. For the franchise I think this is the second best movie and can be considered as success.… Expand

The first Predator is a classic, and I wasn't actually expecting much from this film. But I was surprised, as this film is quite good and much better than the AVP films and the recent film.

But I was surprised, as this film is quite good and much better than the AVP films and the recent film. It mayn't be as efficiently paced, the film could have been shorter and it may lack the sweaty and claustrophobic tension of the original. But there is an atmosphere that does make it a compelling watch, it is quite dark and suspenseful when it needs to be, and while the story isn't quite as interesting it is well-constructed with a broodiness and sensual style that doesn't make the film dull. The dialogue is serviceable, as is the direction, Danny Glover is suitably hard-edged and Gary Busey is interesting as the sinister government official. But it is the spectacular effects and excellent action that drive Predator 2 to a greater level. Overall, a good sequel. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Predator 2 is a great sequel from the 90s. It is much better than the original. Here is a simple plot, but the action scenes reached a new level. It is also worth canceling Danny Glover's good acting.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unpopular opinion but it was slightly better than 1st one,the town setting with crime/thriller driven plot for predator was engaging right from the start,the story was good,the music was amazing,the action scenes were less compare to 1st but it was awesome,the connection of prequel was amazingly done,the starting fight right after the opening credits it was adrenaline rush,watching Danny Glover i got the feeling this was lethal weapon at start,the gun fight of cops and Mafia's was awesome and the glimpse of Predator and then the kills of Drug mafia's by him was brutal and bloody awesome,the feud between Cops and FBI right from the start was engaging,the Drug dealers story and there deaths were awesome apart from starting fight the another fight at apartment was literally brutal and awesome after that the Cops investigation at that scene hiding from FBI and the hunt of cop Danny by predator was surprising then the personal issue for Harrigan and cops team and there operations against FBI secret was on,it was engaging then the Whole train fight sequence was literally awesome the gun fights and killing were brutally disturbing after that fight the Cop member death scene in presence of Harrigan The breaking skull moment by predator was another level brutally awesome,the last act was intense AF the FBI secret reveal about predator's techniques and the tactical fight afterwards at meat center was amazing,the exciting ups and down's in fight was awesome after that the solo fight between predator and Harrigan was amazing,the bathroom scene the predator healing and all it was little funny although creepy then the whole chasing sequence ended with literally jaw-dropping reveal about predators was mind-blowing the whole ending was great,Overall its amazing sequel and it was entertainingly awesome movie!… Expand

I can't understand why this film got so many flacks and I watched the first movie. I found the main character charismatic and the Predator terrifying, I was captivated by the story and action.

I found the main character charismatic and the Predator terrifying, I was captivated by the story and action. I think that the main reason why this movie put off many fans of the original is because its tone was set differently, more toward police drama but then the direction was new and not a simple knock off. I liked dialogues, entourage, it has its share of suspenseful moments. Edgy jokes, character interactions felt very natural not forced which is a common thing in many movies of this genre (trying hard to look "badass") nowadays and didn't distract which was one of issues with the newest Predator movie. I bet if it was made nowadays it would become an instant hit. To a reviewer below who complained that the Predators wear helmets, another of their species had already its helmet removed in the first installment so we know how they look anyway. The movie also contained some revelations that I won't spoil here.… Expand

Predator in the city. Rogue Cop Mike Harrigan faces a criminal that cannot be arrested. Not as good as its predecessor, Predator 2 is an good movie, fill with action and intrigue.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is very underrated, it may not be as good as the first movie since it doesnt give the jungle vibes and people may not be used to yautjas hunting in the cities. The main character may lack fear, unlike Schwarzenegger's role where they are actually afraid of the Predator, in this movie its like he's trying to fight the Predator 1 on 1, but overall its still a good movie… Expand
