The players hardly fail the material, but the Jim Thomas-John Thomas screenplay defeats all concerned. Go to Full Review
Hugo Davenport Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 1
At first, the film seems no more than an old-fashioned monster-movie... However, there is a more disturbing sub-text, reminiscent of the cinematic aliens born of the Red scare of the Fifties, but rendered here more self-consciously for the Nineties. Go to Full Review
Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle Oct 31
The film rarely strays from its violent catharses. Go to Full Review
Jack E. Wilkinson United Press International Jun 8
Glove's heroics are a plus, to be sure, in a film overflowing with violence. Problem is, the suspense that help make the original a winner is missing. Go to Full Review

It's filled with characters we don't care about and an alien creature we're not really allowed to understand. Go to Full Review

Wolfgang L @WolfgangLunar 1h After many years of avoiding the movie because Arnold wasn’t in it and hearing negative reviews, I can honestly say it’s a good movie. I love how it builds on the Predator lore and includes many elements, like seeing the first on-screen universal expansion of different franchises. For those who’ve seen the movie and watched the ending, you know what I’m talking about. I personally love the darker tone of this film and how much more aggressive the new Predator (Ghost) is. It’s definitely not as good as the first, but if you want a Predator film that expands on the lore, has a darker tone, and more violence, you will enjoy it. See more Alex R @RT06711330 3d This movie is THE Predator movie. The City Hunter Predator is absolutely Legend and shows to the franchise so much more gadgets, the trophy making, the practical effects are bomb, the story itself will get you so hooked on the drama of the city that you almost forget the predator could be anywhere on buildings watching. You have an awesome lead cast with Danny Glover where it almost feels like a spinoff crossover with Lethal Weapon franchise. But yes GREAT lead with an equally GREAT villain.

Objetivamente falando, não é ótimo, mas ainda é um filme do Predador e tem seus momentos… See more Emi J @RT89626425 Jun 12 defenitly a product of it's time - I do miss the vivid color palettes in the movies, but I do not miss the racism See more Thomas W @RT14654510 May 27 Probably one of the worst sci-fi movies I tried to watch in a number of years. We couldn't get past the first 30 minutes, acting was absolutely awful.
