Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

pesic-1 I was entertained, and that was the main thing I wanted from a sequel to 'Predator'. However, the plot was a bit silly, and some of the characters were annoying. The film was never as scary as the original, and it placed more emphasis on action than suspense or horror. The original is far superior, but, as I said, the film still manages to entertain.

Petia Vladimirova Another movie trying to surn american cop into a hero. I am huge fan of predator but there were a few too obvious mistakes. First when the female cop standed against Predator at the subway he saw she was pregnant, the baby was turned with head up since I know baby's head must point down only if there is no pregnancy problem. I just could not miss the way Harrigan lost his gun at the slaughterhouse and Predator jut crashed it as it was made of plastic. Or it was. No matter how strong he is, iron hit on the ground can't turn into pieces. And btw when Predator throw that disc he cut the other cop on two, a bucket of blood just came from the upper part of the body, but it never came to the ground. Probably it was busy with something more important. But the big fail is coming at this site, why you should ruin it showing the actor playing the Predator? First movie never announced it and it was for better. Details are important, you know.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Predator 2 is a gem of a film, and don't let anyone ever try and convince you otherwise. It's just so different and so much crazier than the first that I think people had a knee jerk 'wtf' reaction and panned it. It's tough to top the sheer bombastic overdrive of the first one, which is considered a classic, but if anything the sequel switched the nitrous dial past maximum and blasts off into the stratosphere of excessive R rated chaos, an impressive feat. It also switches settings, from the sweaty jungles of South America to the equally sweaty and opulent grime of the urban jungle, namely Los Angeles of the future, bursting at the seams with so many over the top criminals and hectic, delirious violence that by the time the Predators show up they not only fit in, but seem relatively sane compared to everyone else. Seriously, every human character in this film is a coked up tornado of cartoonish energy and brashness it's hard to keep up unless you've hoovered up a few rails yourself prior to sitting down and popping in the blu ray (the blu ray of this is wicked by the way, gorgeous transfer). So get this: Danny Glover, before he got too old for this sh*t, basically serves as a renegade SuperCop in this hellhole of a metropolis, waging all out war on loads of feral gang members and degenerates, constantly leaned on by the obligatory pain in the ass of a police commissioner (Robert Davi, god bless his republican ass) and backed up by a team of state of the art badasses, including Aliens's Bill Paxton, who gets all the best lines and delivers them with the gusto the material deserves. He's also backed by Ruben Blades and tough girl Maria Conchita Alonso, whose appearance and scenes with Paxton call to mind him and Jannette Goldstein side by side in Aliens, or is that just the fanboy in me having an aneurysm? Together they achieve 80's action movie squad goals by messily wiping out as much of the criminal faction in the city as they can, including weird Rastafarian crime lord King Willie (Calvin Lockhart, spooky as all hell), until something else comes along. Something they can't see, hear, or easily empty clips at whilst cheerfully spewing profanity. The predators have branched out, and this time there's more than one, giving their inherent tactical nature a whole new twist. So who better to take on these extraterrestrial game wardens? Glover of course, who positively froths at the mouth. You know you're overacting when Gary Busey has to keep up with you, and he does his loony best as some hush hush Fed who has been keeping tabs on the Preds for sometime, and has big notions of taking them down. It's all in good fun, with jaw dropping, spectacularly brutal set pieces, violence that would not go over well these days (the 80's didn't give a f*ck, man) and a seriously chaotic vibe humming through the whole breathless ordeal. I'd even be so bold as to say that this is the better of the two Predator films, upon getting all misty eyed and craving a rewatch after writing this. Go ahead, shame me. It's just too great of a flick to be as under appreciated as it is. Oh, and watch for a sly cameo from another otherworldly baddie late in the third act.

StarWarsMoviesSuck I'm throwing on an extra point, since it's one of my favorite movies to watch. P2 is not a perfect movie, but it's a fun and thrilling experience. If the third act could be completely overhauled, then it would rival Predator 1 in overall quality. What P2 has that P1 does not have is the fun-factor. It has more colorful characters and a wide variation of scenery, offering a very good presentation of Los Angeles. The decision to make it more humorous was a correct one, but unfortunately problems arise.The third act for whatever reason became a campy mess. Let me just add her as well that I wish Keyes would've lived, as he was a solid character as Harrigan's mysterious rival. The predator up to his unmasking was presented masterfully, but the unmasking turned it into a comedy puppet. Did Fox do this on purpose to make the movie flop? Who knows. Regardless, it excels where most sequels do not, and as-of today is the only true sequel for the Predator franchise
