Critic Reviews

Empire Ian Nathan

More story-led than the original with a high enough body count to make it a satisfying action movie. Read full review

Dave Kehr

The picture hurtles along, smoothly if not plausibly, and saves some surprises for the last reel. The Predator, it seems, represents that part of the human spirit that responds with pleasure when violence breaks out, whether it is in Central America, the inner city, or the suburban multiplex playing Predator 2. [21 Nov 1990, p.3C]

Bill Cosford

There's not a dull moment in the thing, and it's dumb as dirt. But who can resist? It's the ultimate guilty pleasure, the kind of movie that in years to come, when they're chronicling the decline of our culture, will turn up as an exhibit. [23 Nov 1990, p.G5]

Matthew Gilbert

Downey's cameo is one of the few unexpected - even terrorful - moments in this entirely pedestrian sequel, which like its predecessor is almost but never quite frightening. [21 Nov 1990, p.38P]

Desson Thomson

There is so much violence, as gangs kill gangs, or gangs kill cops, or the predator kills all of them, that it's hard to watch without the brain succumbing to self-protective numbness. Read full review

Tom Zucco

Leave your taste in the car and check your mind at the door. If nothing else, Predator 2 delivers one thing: buckets of blood, which is probably why a lot of people will see it. [23 Nov 1990, p.6]

Owen Gleiberman

The whole noisy movie is really just a setup for the climactic duel between renegade cop Danny Glover and the monster. By that point, you’re pathetically grateful for a few stomach-churning special effects. Read full review

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. The over reliance in comedy feels out of place, it doesn't fit with the predator creature and it makes some ofPredator in the city. Rogue Cop Mike Harrigan faces a criminal that cannot be arrested.

So I went from the bunch of sequels to just as s£!t and now I went from the bunch of sequels to just as s£!t again.

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

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

Predator 2 is the sequel to 1987's Predator.. The original Predator movie from 1987 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was great but the ending was daft but still a great film and sci fi classic.

Predator 2 is set in Los Angeles and is set in a warzone between cops and criminals and Jamaican gangs. Very violent, some nudity and complete rubbish basically. Even Danny Glover being a great actor couldn't save Predator 2 from being a crap movie so Predator 2 is a stinker!! Avoid it.… Expand
