Review of Predator 2 (1990) by Hardy H — 10 Jul 2010

Change of venue from jungle to Los Angeles. Minus Arnold and plus Danny Glover seeking to establish his action star career glimpsed in Lethal Weapon 2. He pulls it off well but the magic doesn't seem to be there without a Mel Gibson for him to play off of.

Again, it's predecessor was a bit cut and paste so it's likely that this one will be a bit... See More of the same. We get to see that same bad guy from the first movie(or in this case same species) attacking a different group of people, but of course he has some new tricks up his sleeve and we get to see a little bit more of what he's about.

There's not much more I can say about the film apart from helping to set up an excellent idea that was poorly executed in the form of Alien vs Predator. So, if you're excited to see "Predators" it's worth it, but being that the series doesn't have an ongoing story it's not required viewing.
