Andrew Pretty good sequel. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Ash P I remembered bits of this movie, but I don't remember much of it. I probably saw some of it on TV while my parents were watching it and moved on since I was a kid, after all. I was born in 1990, after all. Anyways, let's see what we have with this Predator movie. It starts off with a gang war between the Colombians and the Jamaicans, and the LAPD had arrived to control the situation. What they didn't know is that a Predator has arrived and took out some of the Colombians. Why was the Predator here? Your guess is as good as mine. The police force consists of Danny Glover playing as Lieutenant Mike Harrigan, Ruben Blades as Danny Archuleta, Maria Conchita Alonso as Leona Cantrell, and Bill Paxton as Jerry Lambert who had just transferred from another precinct into Metro Command. They came into the body count the Predator had committed and investigated what happened while there was a drug investigation between the Colombian and the Jamaican cartels. Late that night, another cartel leader was killed off by the Jamaicans, and the Predator comes by and kills them all off, which leads the police to fully investigate the damage the Predator has committed. Yeah, it felt like it was supposed to be another cop drama movie and decided to add some flair to it by adding the Predator, or the City Hunter, according to Wikipedia. Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with that whatsoever, it's just that we don't know much about the City Hunter's motive. My better guess is that it just wanted to hunt for the fun of it, unlike how the Predator in the first movie had a motive. Yet the police had to get involved when one of their own snooped in so low that it'd got them killed. So now it's personal for Danny despite Peter Keyes, played by Gary Busey, ordering Danny to not push himself farther until he has a different approach in the third act. Funny thing is that Peter posted as a DEA agent leading a special task force that was also revealed in the third act. Fun fact: The studio originally wanted to bring Dutch in except that Arnold Schwarzenegger declined to reprise the role. Aside from the story being a bit all over the place when we forget about investigating drugs to investigating the City Hunter, who now becomes kinda like a vigilante after witnessing what has happened in the beginning. What carries the movie are some of the new gadgets the City Hunter has in its arsenal. You have to admit that you'd want some of that in your utility belt. I also find it funny that the special task force Peter leads underestimates the City Hunter when it can use more than just thermal vision to adapt combat capabilities. The action is as good as it is, especially with the final fight between Danny and City Hunter. However, some of the scenes are kind of awkward when they're played. Might be me on that, but you get the idea when some camera shots with sound bits and what seems to be some scenes that got cut and this one bit nearing the end of the third act makes you question on some of the effects. Still, with some good acting and the story getting more in touch when we make it to the halfway point, if I have to be honest, I think this is a fine movie of the Predator franchise. Sure, it's got some issues yet with how the acting goes, and some laughs, I found this to be a guilty pleasure of a movie. Therefore, it's something to check out if you're a fan of Predator. I'm gonna give the City Hunter's adventure five and a half Predator withstanding lightning after being struck out of ten. 5.5/10. No, seriously, how can you withstand that, City Hunter!? Oh, well. See y'all at Predators. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/25 Full Review Sebastian D It’s not without flaws—tonal swings between gritty drama and campy sci-fi can feel uneven, and the story lacks the original’s sharp focus. Some effects show their age. But Glover’s magnetic performance and the wild, urban action outweigh these quibbles. Predator 2 is a thrilling, underrated gem that delivers for Predator fans craving something bold and different. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Francisco H The movie makes zero sense. Why is the predator in the city now. What’s their goal? Why so many at the end? What are they looking for? Why did they decide just to go? The 2 stars if for the amazing costume design of the head (not the body). Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Yash B "Predator 2" does legitimately deserve some props for actually trying to be different from the original. Unfortunately, there is a noticeable dip in quality. I just couldn't get into the premise, and I felt the creature being in a big city had the potential to be interesting. The world they introduce is clearly a mess, but I wish the movie had dived deeper into why it is that way and explored things more. I feel like until the action really starts, the movie is just kind of boring, and I wasn't invested enough when it became cool and exciting. Overall, there are things to like in this 90s action flick, but as a whole, it is a disappointing sequel to the first movie, which is a classic. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Sigurður A Great, underrated 90´s action flick with Danny Glover and the Predator. What is there not to like?
