Critic Reviews for Predator 2
All Critics (30) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (21) | DVD (14)
Given Arnold Schwarzenegger and director John McTiernan had declined to return, this sequel to their macho sci-fi rumble in the jungle is surprisingly good.
Half as taut and twice as dumb.
Since the predator is imaginary but the people who made this film are not, Predator 2 speaks sadly of their own lack of curiosity and imagination.
...sporadically watchable yet mostly underwhelming...
Fortunately, Alan Silvestri's sensational score is reused nicely, extending suspense and gravity to otherwise generic monster movie scenarios.
A production that, not being able to be compared with the original one, is a more than worthy sequel, entertaining and with a great rhythm. [Full Review in Spanish]
Audience Reviews for Predator 2
The core conceit of the Predator franchise (the hunted victims are prepared for a fight, different than most horror films, right?: " ... didn't expect that monster was actually trying to KILL us", hence upping the anxiety quotient) is discarded for the following feature, successfully ruining the supposed gist of the proceedings and reducing this to a simple us-against-them typical monster piece despite the top heavy cast.

Its a shame that 'Predator 2' doesn't meet to the same standards as Schwarzenegger's action filled gore fest. Having Jamacian gangsters didn't help either, with stereotypes or story. The only highlight is having 'Lethal Weapon's Danny Glover and Bill Paxton (Aliens). Overall, what this film did wrong was creating the spin off universe of 'Aliens Vs Predator'.

Not as good as the original but the urban location, original casting of some great character actors, new look predator, new weaponry and amazing take your breath away action with an excellent ending leaves you wanting more hunting action. Top notch visuals and effects with some lovely over the top cliched characters all add up to a film just out of the 80's but clearly living the dream hehe. Plus you've got 'Private Hudson' incarnated again (he's also come back as a vampire in 'Near Dark') to take on predators ;) A rip roaring violent, bloody and foul mouthed masterpiece that is criminally underrated.

Predator 2 Quotes
| The Predator: | Want some candy? |
| Danny Archuletta: | A pro would have split the moment the action started. More than one we would have seen them. Whoever did this waited until the last second, took out six guys armed with machine guns by hand, then got by us. Maybe we should give him a job. Put him on the payroll. |
| King Willie: | You never see the eyes of the demon until he comes a calling |
| King Willie: | You never see the eyes of the demon until he comes a calling. |
| The Predator: | Take your weapon. |
