Watch Predator 2 For Free

Perfect cast and a good story

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Writers Jim Thomas & John Thomas take their formidable alien hunter character from one kind of jungle to another, in this tale of gang warfare in 1997 L.A. The Colombians and Jamaicans wage bloody battles, with each other and the cops, and one good cop (Danny Glover) and his cronies are frustrated that they can't seem to make headway. This is really an ideal environment for the Predator; it will have no shortage of worthy targets.Expect a lot of bloodshed, a lot of weaponry, and a lot of in-your-face action in this lively sequel that portrays a slightly futuristic Los Angeles that is quite over the top in terms of violence. It begins with a genuine bang, and rarely offers let-ups - the pacing is definitely first-rate. It does harken back to the first film at times, and also strongly echoes "Aliens" towards the end. It does also take viewers a little further into the culture of the Predators, and teased fans with the possibility of a future "Predator" / "Alien" mash-up with the sight of a Xenomorph skull in a Predator trophy room (this, of course, first came to pass 14 years later).Glover is fairly amusing in a VERY intense, profane portrayal, with Ruben Blades and Maria Conchita Alonso offering fine support. Gary Busey is good as the shady government man who claims to be with the D.E.A. but in fact has a different agenda altogether. Bill Paxton typically steals his scenes in a very Private Hudson-esque performance. Kevin Peter Hall once again plays the murderous title creature, in what was sadly one of his final performances. Morton Downey, Jr. is appropriately cast as a sleazy, loudmouthed journalist. Calvin Lockhart has a regrettably brief cameo as Jamaican drug lord King Willie. Other familiar faces like Robert Davi, Adam Baldwin, Kent McCord, Steve Kahan, Henry Kingi, Lilyan Chauvin, and Teri Weigel also turn up.Composer Alan Silvestri doesn't just repeat himself here, which is good; he expands upon his familiar themes from the original film. And the production design by Lawrence G. Paull is top notch, both in terms of the crime-ridden L.A. streets and the design of the Predator spacecraft.It's of course not meant to be innovative in the slightest. It's just good, tough, straightforward, hard-edged action entertainment.Seven out of 10.

Never understood why this was not liked - it has a 25% score on RT, come on!!The acting is the first thing that gets you. Glover and Busey, then Paxton and of course the great Kevin Peter Hall.Then the mystery. They reveal just enough so you don't know what's happening but still get into the story and never lose attention. Some of the quotes are iconic; like mentioned by the other reviews: "Danny boy", "Do you want some candy", "I don't think he gives a $hit", "You can't see the eyes of the demon, until him come callin'", "Lions! Tigers! Bears! Oh my!", etc...And there are the weapons, that flying homing Discus grinder thing, or the folding javelin, or the cutting net. oh my!

I really liked this movie. Despite the absence of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny Glover really held his own as a character. The special effects (including, of course, lots of explosions,) were just as great as they were in the first movie. I enjoyed the urban setting. I also think Bill Paxton did a great job. I've never seen him in a role quite like he played in Predator 2.While very different from the first film, Predator 2 is still a fun, thrilling action movie that I think fans of the series will be pleasantly surprised by. I'm a big action fan, and this one really got me excited. I can't think of anything that made me feel like the plot was slow or that the production was anything short of outstanding.The ending is chilling as well. I definitely did not see it coming!

Sooo... an alien hunter from God-knows-where travels to Earth to hunt gang members? A gang member's head is worth the hunt? It's funny how many times when the Predator was cloaked, people STILL saw it. Yeah, some "advanced" extraterrestrial that thing was, right? One thing I never understood was why was the Predator so interested in Danny Glover's character? Of all the characters, Danny Glover just happened to be the special snowflake to the Predator. The Predator stalks Danny Glover to the graveyard but doesn't attack him, so what was the Predator doing? In the beginning of the film, Danny sees the Predator (while it was cloaked. Yeah, some high tech that thing was, right?), the Predator is just staring at Danny, and the Predator jumps down. Umm... so why didn't the Predator try to kill Danny at that spot?The meathouse scene was ridiculous. The Predator is LITERALLY in the middle of guys with guns and everyone misses their shots. The Predator is right at their faces with that stupid looking spear and killing them. Those guys with guns couldn't kill an alien hunter that is OVER 2 METERS TALL and right at their faces... wtf! After Danny shoots the Predator and the Predator is knocked out, he takes off the Predator's mask and when the Predator wakes up, it grabs Danny's neck and throws him away. Why didn't the Predator just kill Danny at that spot? When the Predator throws its flying pizza cutter looking thing to Gary Busey, Gary's lower half body falls but where is his upper half? Stupid logic.The Predator tries to blow itself up all because Danny tackled it off a building. But Danny prevents the bomb by slicing off the Predator's arm and the Predator starts falling to an old woman's bathroom.You know, at this point, I think it's really funny how this Predator can't kill a cop, even when this Predator encountered Danny many times in this film.After the Predator treats its wounds and runs away, Danny follows it to its ship. Predator was running away from a cop? LOL! Aww, I guess a cop was too difficult for the Predator to kill, even though Danny at this point has no gun.At the end, Danny kills the Predator in hand to hand combat... wait a second, hand to hand? LMAO! And people think Predator is strong? Some old ass Predator shows up and gives Danny a gun from 1715 as a reward and the other Predators take the Predator's body. So according to this movie, when you kill a Predator, its leader will award you. If you belong to a clan where the leader would reward anyone who kills you, you might want to look for a better clan to join. You know, not only was this movie very stupid, but I think it's more stupid how retarded Predator fans think this franchise is connected to Alien franchise all because of a Xenomorph skull easter egg... EASTER EGG. EASTER EGG. EASTER EGG. They don't share the same universe, retards. Movies do easter eggs all the time, they don't mean anything. It was just a joke, the director said so if you watch the making of Predator 2. Are people really this dumb?Predators got killed by humans multiple times in hand to hand combat yet people think Predators can kill Alien? LOL! Arnold beat a Predator's ass by using sticks... STICKS LOL. If Predators are extremely strong then why the fvck do they hunt humans for sport? Predators are obviously not that strong compared to humans. Go ask Adrien Brody, he killed a Super Predator in hand to hand combat.Anyway, stupid movie, stupid plot, and stupid franchise. This franchise really needs to stop piggyback riding on the Alien franchise. It's getting old.
