Plot:
Predator wreaked havoc in the jungle and struck box-office gold, so Hollywood logic dictated that Predator 2 should raise hell in the big, bad city. Los Angeles, to be specific, and this...( read more

An interesting follow-up, to be sure, but it just doesn't quite compare to the original. The pacing is unforgivably slow for the first 3/4 of the film. However, when it picks up it really picks up. It's worth a look and certainly delivers better action than the ALIEN VS. PREDATOR movies, but it doesn't quite achieve the thrills of the first film.
Danny Archuleta: A pro would have split the moment the action started. More than one we would have seen them. Whoever did this waited until the last second, took out six guys armed with machine guns by hand, then got by us. Maybe we should give him a job. Put him on the payroll.
Danny Glover may have been too old for Gibson's shit, but when it comes to taking on interstellar hunters in the midst of the gang wars during the hottest of summers in Los Angeles, you damn well better bet he's game for it.
The predator has returned. This time he is hunting in LA, amidst gang wars against the cops. Danny Glover is a tough cop who encounters the predator, and the two begin a sort of duel.
You also have this sweet supporting cast that has the always great Bill Paxton and crazy Gary Busey.
Now, this movie isn't trying to be the best ever, it is a sequel to an 80s monster/action flick, but it makes the best of the premise, complete with some new cool features for the predator, and some inventive action/gore stuff. It even has the perfect kind of ending to maintain the predator legacy.
King Willie: You can't see the eyes of the demon, until him come callin'.
The film is good enough at providing action, gore, special effects, and some goofy fun.

Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: It's all right! I'm a cop!

Really not very good. I just can't make myself finish it.... and I don't really see the problem with the drug dealers being wiped out
"It's ok, I'm a cop!
- I don't think he gives a shit"
Goddamn this movie sucked. It's not a total disaster but almost...
The first Predator movie with "Ahnold" is a cinema masterpiece. Everything about it kicks ass. It has great characters, action scenes, good script, score etc. This does not. Period.
Danny Glover is nothing compared to "The Guvernator" when it comes to being a leading man of a action movie. He's good as a sidekick, yelling "I'm too old for this shit" ala "Lethal Weapon" but in this one he is most of the time just amusing. And damn Bill Paxton sucked in this one...
Like mentioned earlier, "Predator 2" lacks all of the elements that made the first one an instant classic. Avoid it and instead, watch Arnie and his posse rumble in the jungle...
Not so bad but I must admit that the first one was better but it to had some good action in it and Danny Glover really shows what he has in the action parts of the movie..
