Predator 2 (1990)

Written by Gimly on March 19, 2018

When I was younger I always hated Predator 2. Rewatching it as an adult, I don't think it was fair how bad I thought it was. It's not that Predator 2 is crap, it's just that it's so much worse than the original (one of the 5 best movies ever made), that it comes across as such a massive disappointment. With fresh, or I guess more accurately, with more experienced eyes, I don't mind Predator 2 at all, there's actually a lot of stuff I like about it. It's still not a great movie to me, but I don't skip it when I'm doing a marathon like I would have once upon a time. It expands upon the Predator lore in some pretty cool ways, and the Jamaican Voodoo Posse inspired my Escher Necromunda gang, so I've wound up pretty 50/50 on the whole thing.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
