Critics Consensus

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

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

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.

Empire Magazine

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

Half as taut and twice as dumb.

Fiction Machine

Predator was a relatively simple, dull story told in a very energetic and engaging manner. Predator 2 has a much more interesting story, but it is not told in anywhere near as effective or dramatic a fashion.

Rated: 5/10

Deep Focus Review

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.

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme traz de volta o predador, mas agora ele vai para a cidade grande e foda-se, em vez de colocar ele na selva pra enfrentar outros soldados, não colocaro a porra do predador na cidade grande, as mortes foram bacaninhas, o filme também não tem um elenco de peso para enfrentar o predador, chamaram o danny glover mas não foi o bastante para o filme ser bom, no final tinha outro predador e o danny glover deixou eles irem embora, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme, por que o filme praticamente se resumiu a luta entre o danny glover vs o predador que no final ninguém ganhou.

An interesting sequel that’s wildly different from the first one, but expands the world and shifts the genre clash from commando action to police noir as the predator infiltrates the urban jungle and has new weapons to show off. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers are still the GOAT, but Danny Glover and the main crew do a solid job as the new crew keeping me invested in the story. The predator spaceship and trophy code of honor were also nice touches. I also appreciate that the FBI was competent enough to figure out the Predator is an alien before the antagonist does. Rather than just being dumb suits that get in the way or frame the main heroes for the predator’s crimes. The movie is nowhere near as amazing as the original, but that was lightning in a bottle, which this sequel is aware of and tries to sidestep the pitfalls of merely repeating the original with diminishing returns. It’s a decent sequel and pretty underrated if you ask me.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
