Damn good sequel. Why is it fans like to toss this one off as some inferior piece of crap? Is it just because of Glover and how he's the opposite of Arnold? I think that was the whole point, and it works... It's got tons of great action, some good scary moments (arguable some scarier than the first) and it expands the mythology. What more could you ask for? Was there just not enough ripped, topless beefcakes for you guys...?

The city setting didn't really work

You'd think that setting this in a city would make the greater potential kills of the Predator even more threatening, but that would be wrong. There's never really a sense of the Predator stalking victims, it just drops in and kills drug dealers, because they have weapons. Every character in this movie is on speed AND caffeine. Why are they all spastic? Is it the L.A. heat? Everyone is sweating profusely, too. It's really annoying. The shootout between the police and the drug gang is way over the top and impossible to determine why there aren't dead bodies lying three deep with all the shots being fired. Danny Glover is no Arnold Schwarzeneggar. He's tough but not a badass like Arnold's character "Dutch" was in the original. The Predator that Glover battles must have just gotten his hunting license. In fact, Los Angeles is like a game farm compared to the jungle where the first Predator battled Dutch. It would be pretty simple to hunt animals in a game farm, so the Predator of this movie isn't making his safari much of an adventure. There are two things that really save this movie. The practical effects associated with look of the Predator. It remains an iconic alien creation. And the final battle on the rooftops between Glover and the alien is entertaining.

It just doesn't have the same charm that the original did. Danny Glover is a good actor but he is no Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bill Paxton is great though. The city setting is an interesting idea but it is just so absurd that it doesn't work.

So much blind hatred over the years for this flick. I have loved this sequel since the first time I watched it. Awesome cast..come on mannn Bill Paxton?? Whaaat???? From Terminator, Aliens, and now a Predator flick? Badass...r.i.p. brother...Maria Conchita ayayayaya sexy and tough and crazy Gary Busey who was in Lethal Weapon with Danny Glover...and then we get not just one Predator but an entire Lost tribe of them and Kevin Peter hall reprising his role from the 1st one...yeah sounds terrible so far...but wait!!! There's more!!! Tell em what they've won Bob!..then theres the awesome xenomorphic Easter egg at the end...Predator 2 has its flaws but its a more than worthy sequel and a better pass time than 90% of sci-fi flicks that drop these days..."you never see the eyes of the demon..till he comes a callin"
