Predator 2 (1990)

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I was entertained, and that was the main thing I wanted from a sequel to 'Predator'. However, the plot was a bit silly, and some of the characters were annoying. The film was never as scary as the original, and it placed more emphasis on action than suspense or horror. The original is far superior, but, as I said, the film still manages to entertain.

Like the first one with Arnold I watched both movies a dozen times and still love them, just like the first time.

So you find Predator 2, you expect action filled scenes of stalking in the jungle, punchlines, the whole nine yards. What do you get? a movie nothing like the original set in L.A. how did the predator end up in L.A. Who cares! If you expect anything close to the first installment look else ware. One thing I believe that made the first movie so great was that it didn't have much plot. It simply relied on the uneasiness of the scenery,setting, etc. Would I recommend this movie: No

I'm throwing on an extra point, since it's one of my favorite movies to watch. P2 is not a perfect movie, but it's a fun and thrilling experience. If the third act could be completely overhauled, then it would rival Predator 1 in overall quality. What P2 has that P1 does not have is the fun-factor. It has more colorful characters and a wide variation of scenery, offering a very good presentation of Los Angeles. The decision to make it more humorous was a correct one, but unfortunately problems arise.The third act for whatever reason became a campy mess. Let me just add her as well that I wish Keyes would've lived, as he was a solid character as Harrigan's mysterious rival. The predator up to his unmasking was presented masterfully, but the unmasking turned it into a comedy puppet. Did Fox do this on purpose to make the movie flop? Who knows. Regardless, it excels where most sequels do not, and as-of today is the only true sequel for the Predator franchise
