Predator 2 Ratings & Reviews
- flavo43December 15, 2025Predator 2 (1990) had big shoes to fill after the original, and for fans familiar with the Dark Horse comic sequel, the film can feel like a mixed experience. It delivers plenty of strengths—great practical effects, brutal gore, and intense action that expands the Predator’s mythology in exciting ways. The urban jungle setting is a bold shift, offering a fresh backdrop for the creature’s hunt, even if its vision of “future 1997” feels wildly unrealistic now. However, the dialogue often feels clunky, and some casting choices don’t quite land, creating moments that pull you out of the story. Much of this stems from the film drifting too far from the tone and direction of the source material, likely shaped by Hollywood’s push for broader appeal. Still, the movie has its charms, and its ambition to evolve the franchise is admirable. Predator 2 remains an entertaining, if uneven, follow‑up.
- Gene CapmanMarch 12, 2025I wonder what Gary Busey's cocaine budget was on this film...
- Kristian OdlandJuly 30, 2025I will never understand any level of hate for this movie. It is the perfect follow-up to the 1987 original and is arguably the most important piece in all of Predator lore.
- SaturnFoxDieJuly 23, 2025Bloody awesome. Anyone who says otherwise isn't a true Predator fan. Excellent characters, some awesome one liners too!
- Megan CruzJuly 31, 2025The three stars are for the hilarious premise of this movie & Danny Glover. I don’t know what else is going on.
- madz26December 14, 2025Okay. Early '90s comical fun with a memorable cast.
- William HickeyNovember 26, 2025A perfect sequel, and the second best Predator movie. The only Predator movie with titties in it.
- RichardOctober 7, 2025Underrated follow up that does way more than people give it credit for. Swaps the jungle for a chaotic, heat soaked L.A. and somehow makes it work. Danny Glover’s not Arnie, but he brings his own grit and watching him go toe to toe with the Predator feels earned. The lore expands, the kills are brutal and the final act delivers. That trophy room scene? Legendary. It’s louder, messier and darker than the first, but it’s got teeth. Definitely deserves a better reputation.
- Billy ZaneOctober 3, 2025Badass follow-up to the original. I can remember watching the ending scene when I was a kid and thinking how cool it was. Oh and Bill Paxton is hilarious as always.
- ርልዪረSeptember 14, 2025The Predator is back and this time, its hunting in a different Jungle, its hunting in a Concrete Jungle known as Los Angeles, set 10 years after the first film, a new Predator has arrived and begins hunting new prey. The movie is set in 1997, where Los Angeles is plague with Gang Wars switch include the Colombians and the Voodoo Jamicians and the Police are doing everything they can stop these Gang Wars until the Predator and starts killing many Gangsters. Lt. Michael Harrigan played by Lethal Weapon's Danny Glover, a John Wayne and Dirty Harry like cop is called in to deal with the Predator when it (spoiler alert) kills his Partner. Also, the Feds come in led by Special Agent Peter keyes who claims he's here to take care of the Jamicians, but there's more to this guy then meets the Eye. Now Harrigan must stop the Predator before it turns Los Angeles into its new hunting ground. I first saw this on TV, a long time ago until I finally got it on DVD, its also the most violent and darkest predator film. The movie also features Bill Paxton as Jerry Lambert and a possible Ancestor to Hudson from "Aliens", License to Kill's Robert Davi as Captain Heinhemann, Full Metal Jacket's Adam Baldwin as Gruber, Keyes' second in Command and Kevin Peter Hall in one of his last roles before his death in 1991. Although he doesn't appeared, Arnold is briefly mention as the events of the first film are mention. Before I end my review, there's one thing you should know, a Xenomorph Skull is briefly seen on the Predator Ship, prove that Alien and Predator are set in the same universe. This is also the first Predator Movie I have ever sent and this is very important to everyone.
- Taylor RobertsonNovember 17, 2025Classic
- MasterDB2205November 14, 2025In retrospect, a rather brutal, cynical, misanthropic, and utterly unbelievable film. For me, the worst installment in the Predator film series.
- DJS71kNovember 5, 2025One of the most movies ever
- Mister ArnJuly 26, 2025“Predator 2” is set ten years after the original and relocates the action from the jungle to Los Angeles. While it’s weighed down by clunky dialogue, over-the-top action, and some strained attempts at humor, it still manages to hold on to a bit of that original Predator magic, especially when it leans into expanding the lore.
