Review of Predator 2 (1990) by Maineutral R — 01 Mar 2014

I never got into the first Predator movie, it was slow and lacked any climatic moments, even if it did had some thrilling moments. I knew going through Predator 2 wouldn't be easy, sadly, I was right. Predator 2 is even slower and less exciting, and even lacks thrilling moments and Arnold in the main role, even if Danny Glover did well.

The story is kinda good, but lacks energy and correct execution. The characters outside of Glover and The Predator are forgettable, the action is average, the special effects sucks at times and it's a huge bore. It does have some interesting scenes, like the one in the subway train and the inside of the Predator's ship, but even that's not saying much, for the most part it's just boring. I can't believe how they stretched the final act of Glover versus the Predator to nearly 40 minutes; as a consequence, it goes slow and it doesn't have anything remarkable or interesting to keep our attention during those moments, and man, it's a boringly painful experience.

It was hard to watch this, I yawned big time during most of the movie. There's really nothing into it, even the good stuff gets over-shadowed by this movie's boredom, making Predator 2 a very forgettable movie. Truly empty and boring.
