Summary: Great Film - But It Raises Some Issues
Review: This is a good alien-invasion movie in general, and a terrific sequel in particular. Setting the story in L.A. with protagonists Glover, Paxton and Busey made for quite a tale.However, the film raises some extremely serious questions. When the predator first attacked, and people realized what they were dealing with, why didn't any of them pause and ask, "Why does he hate us?" The people acted terrorized by the violent actions of the predator, and struck back for the purpose of killing him. Was that sort of response compassionate, diverse, tolerant or inclusive? Rather than unilaterally attacking the predator with an army headed by three cowboys, shouldn't everyone have attempted to form a coalition (perhaps involving the United Nations) and worked to appease the predator? Shouldn't they have settled for passing some resolutions against the predator, then employing inspectors to verify his compliance? And if that had not worked, shouldn't they have given the inspectors more time? The people gave no thought whatever to the predator's cultural or religious background -- they just tried to kill him as soon as possible, apparently thinking that was the only way to protect themselves from a totally irrational being. Can you imagine how things would be in real life, if the good guys merely killed terrorists as quickly as possible, as was done in this movie? Obviously if you kill them, they can't harm anyone any more -- but is that a compassionate, inclusive, tolerant and diverse manner in which to react to a murderous terrorist? Giving the inspectors more time is the best way to deal with a predator, obviously.

Summary: Great sequel
Review: I did enjoy this movie. Danny Glover did a great job in this movie. He also had a great supporting cast. It's very rare the sequel is as good as the first movie, this one is.

Summary: Great sequel
Review: This is one of those strange cases in which the sequel is actually better than the original. The plot involving the city hunts makes the character more menacing in this one, as he kills a lot more people than in the first film. Danny Glover is great as Mike Harrigan, and there is even a brief reference to what happened at the end of "Predator". All the cast shines, and so does the special effects. I strongly recommend that you see it.

Summary: Only The Predator Shined!
Review: The Predator returns to earth for a new challenge. This time in the city. This movie stars Danny Glover and Gary Busey, just throw in Mel Gibson an we could have been watching Lethal Weapon meets Predator. This movie was a snack next to the first one, but still deserves a better DVD release along with the first Predator. The story could have been better. Nuff Said

Summary: A small shadow of the original.
Review: A mediocre reprise. Saw this when I liked Danny Glover due to his role as protector of americas children, a cop. I like Gary Busey as an actor also. If you have never seen it, go rent it and watch it once. It is not a 1 star movie, but it is bad enough. Having Glover and Busey in it, brings it up from a 1 star script and a 1 star story. ...

Summary: Good movie, subpar DVD
Review: I probably don't need to add anything about the movie itself other than that it's a great action movie starring the Predator again! Anyone into the Predator will definitely want to own this movie, this sequel shows off more of its weapons, its special abilities & limitations (in fact I got this DVD just for the warehouse scene where our Pred flashes between four vision modes!), and its backstory a little. The DVD has good image and sound quality (DD 5.1 included) but what killed it for me is the lack of special features. There are two featurettes but they're at least 10 minutes too short (they're only ~5 minutes each). What, we couldn't get a special on the Making of the Predator? Would've loved to see the work Stan Winston put in creating the costume for the late Kevin Peter Hall. And a commentary of some sort would've been nice too, but P2 is an older movie so I guess that's ok. So the DVD is mostly feature-less but at least it's appropriately inexpensive. Pick it up for the movie, still a blast after over 10 years.

Summary: VERY GOOD SEQUEL.
Review: THIS IS A VERY GOOD SEQUEL TO 1987'S PREDATOR. ALOT OF PEOPLE GOT UPSET BECAUSE ARNOLDS CHARACTER OF "DUTCH" ISN'T IN THIS ONE, AND I AGREE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DETAILED EXPLANATION FOR THIS. I READ THE BOOK ABOUT 13 YEARS AGO AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THE EXPLANATION WAS THAT HE HAD DIED FROM WOUNDS FROM HIS ENCOUNTER WITH THE PREDATOR. BUT THE FILMS, AS SOME OTHER REVIEWERS HAVE POINTED OUT, ARE NOT ABOUT HIS CHARACTER ANYWAY. THERE ABOUT THE PREDATOR. AND ONCE YOU REALIZE THAT, THIS MOVIE BECOMES PRETTY DA_N GOOD. THE PLOT IS STRAIGHT FORWARD AND ACTUALLY INTERESTING. HERE IT IS: THE PREDATORS COME TO EARTH EVERY NOW AND AGAIN LOOKING FOR A CHALLENGE, THIS TIME THE CHALLENGE IS IN LOS ANGELES AND DANNY GLOVER IS A COP WHO IS TRYING TO STOP THE ALIEN. THAT'S IT. NOT TOO COMPLICATED, JUST LOTS OF GORE AND ACTION AND GREAT F/X. BOTTOM LINE: UNLIKE MOST SEQUELS, THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Rating:
Summary: Great Sci-Fi Action.
Review: If you enjoyed the original Predator, you'll love this film. I personally prefer it to the first one. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the original but, this sequel is better. Danny Glover does a nice job as usual. Gary Busey pulls off the obsessed military man and the Predator is awesome. The DVD doesn't have too many extras but, that's to be expected with an older movie. I have to admit it would be nice to have a special edition of this movie. If you like action and alien creatures, you'll dig this movie.
