Steve Murray 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. Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Ian Nathan 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 Nov 13, 2017 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Half as taut and twice as dumb. Rated: C+ May 4, 2005 Full Review Grant Watson 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 Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Gary Thompson Philadelphia Daily News Action fans will enjoy Predator 2. Others should bear in mind this is one of the goriest and most violent pictures of the year. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Vincent Paul M This is the best sequel to the original and always will be. All others that have came since are nowhere near as good as this. Predator 2 is heavily frowned upon by the critics and I've no idea why. It's brilliant. Great casting and the plot is good. Just because there's no Schwarzenegger doesn't mean it's rubbish. I love this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Shaun R Putting the Predator in a city should’ve been much more fun than this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Audience Member I would have game it 5 but the original Predator got 5 so it has to be a notch below. It's like Lethal Weapon meets Twister Meets Point Break. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Josh A This is a great sequel to Predator. It basically starts the trend of the series being like the Hellraiser sequels: they're standalone movies with Predator aspects. And this is a good film in general. I'd even go as far to say that it's better than the original. The story is, unsurprisingly, simple: after the first film, the Predators come to Los Angeles and get involved in a turf war. It's a very interesting direction to take the story, but arguably a pretty good one. It's unique and sets the tone that every Predator movie will be different. And they are, y'know, different. We also learn more about Predators as a species, and the scene in the ship at the end is the best scene in the film, in my eyes. The orange lighting of the set looks cool, and the Predators giving Danny Glover's character who's name I don't remember a gun, as if a medal of honour, shows how despite everything, Predators are honourable. Overall, a great movie that expands on the Predator universe, as well as the second best in the franchise as of Prey. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Vidar M Life's too short to watch this utter bullshit crap ass movie. Avoid! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review thiago s 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.
