Critics Consensus

The thrill of the hunt is gone in this hackneyed sequel.

Lacks the charm of the first film. The cast isn't as interesting and there's not much suspense, but it remains a fun action movie that doesn't deserve all the hate it gets.

🍀 5.1/10 Predator takes Manhattan and the whole entire fucking police force. Wow that train sequence was bad I think I have vertigo now 🙂. This is solid sequel I love the schlocky 90s action and Danny glover is good. Tho I hate the attempts at Comedy in the beginning and boy is Jerry annoying. I really don't know what the voodoo peeps are doing but who cares by this point. Mid to alright sequel 👍. Grade C+

A top predator in the universe that even killed an Alien is being killed by an average LA cop. Really?

Lots of action. More plot complexity. Danny Glover is great. If you watch as an independent movie, it stands on its own.

Let's face it, looking back I think we treated this movie a little too harshly. Nothing can beat the original but this one is its true successor. This movie brought a fresh idea to the franchise and everyone played their parts well especially Glover, Hall, and Busey. The new Predator design has yet to be matched in any of the other sequels. I think everyone should rewatch 1&2 back to back on rainy day and realize 2 did the franchise a great service.

Please don't take this movie too seriously. But it adds a lot of story to the predator franchise and establishes some plots we see in the predator movies to this day! Danny Glover is so awesome in this movie I wish they would have brought him back at some later in the franchise!

If you like your movies to double as a cudgel, this one's for you. And if you want to see really good actors play one-dimensional loud characters, that's an extra bonus.

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.

Rated: 4/5

As viewers of the sequel quickly learn, bigger is not always better. Sometimes it’s more of the same.

Rated: 2.5/4

Action fans will enjoy Predator 2. Others should bear in mind this is one of the goriest and most violent pictures of the year.

The fatuousness and derivativeness of Predator 2 might almost be enjoyable if the film weren't so loud and relentless.
