Is this the most underrated movie in Hollywood history?
It does everything a good sequel should, with incredible production values and soundtrack, yet people pretend it’s a bad movie
shareI agree with you. Very good film.

It's because Arnold pretty much owned the 1st movie along with the Super Testosterone Cast to follow, whereas, PREDATOR 2 simply had Danny Glover with a scrapped Arnold cameo at the end of the movie because Arnold wanted $250K for the cameo and the studio felt otherwise. For the record, PREDATOR 2 is the most violent of the PREDATOR movies with a Ruthless, No Fucks given PREDATOR who still fights with 1 arm cutoff
shareWe wanted Arnold and got Glover. He just wasn’t right for the job. Especially when he was playing an “I’m too old for this shit” cop in a concurrent franchise.
shareIt didn't have a puffy lipped young girl as a protagonist.
shareit for sure gets a bad rap,
but it's dope nevertheless
I prefer it to the (vastly overrated) original
shareI agree. It's good and I like Danny Glover in it.
shareOnly the losers at Rotten Tomatoes, who worship every Marvel film like a pagan deity, say it was bad. It's superior to Predators, which was great in itself.
shareOf all the PREDATOR movies that have been made, PREDATOR 2 still stands as the most violent of the movies and it's a great addition to my Blu Ray Collection and YES PREDATORS also rocked and the WORST was "The PREDATOR" from Shane Black which was just Godawful in every way you could think of except the one scene with the Super PREDATOR taking the smaller PREDATOR and slamming him on the top of the vehicle with one hand!! That was it as far as I can remember and really, the rule of thumb is never involve children in movies like this, especially the Plot which was absurd.. Olivia Munn is good looking but sucks as an actress
shareAliens vs Predator 2 Requiem challenges The Predator as the worst of the worst.
The aforementioned is so dark that you can't see anything on screen. The characters are stupid, soft, and annoying. Nobody wants to see punk teens in a heavy masculine movie.
The same with The Predator, all this child shit makes me sick. It was poorly done on many levels.
I totally forgot about Alien VS Predator 2 and yeah, it sure as hell was dark now wasn't it?? You could barely make out the fight scenes for Heaven's sake??
shareThe way I see it, Predator is supposed to be unapologetically gritty and masculine. No main female protagonist, no children, no bitch ass annoying teens. The combat is between other highly dangerous MEN in zones that are hostile looking. That's what makes it so special.
In a predator movie, you have just stepped into a danger zone. And unless your character's balls hang low and has a spine like steel, your character shouldn't even be displayed in the film.
Now, I will say and you'll probably disagree with this, but PREY was a step in the right direction after The PREDATOR, but I just don't see the need for a sequel to that or how they could do it?? It played out as pretty much, one and done?? 🤔
sharePrey needed a better protagonist. Put Wes Studi in that mofo and you would have me completely on board.
