I prefer Predator 2, I think Predator is the better stand alone film, but I think P2 was made at a time when cop movies were in full swing. It expects its audience to be well aware of the type of characters your following, as they are all staples of the genre, and doesn't feel like doing the leg work to flesh them out beyond that.
But while it’s weaker in that sense, everything else is very strong, from how it’s shot, music, the atmosphere. Most of my top 10 scenes in the franchise are in this film. Also while the characters are not deep, they are very likeable. Even the Predator has more personality this time around, as it deliberately stalks people close to Danny Glover in order to provoke him.
I also love the urban setting for the film.

Predator. To be honest I prefer Predators to Predator 2, though Predator 2 is still a fun film, it's kind of more B-Movie material than the first which is one of the best action movies of all time.
I do love the Xeno cameo in Predator 2 however.

Predator is the only good - let alone great - Predator movie.

I might sit down and watch "Predators" this week as it's on Disney Plus. The Predator doesn't look great, but it does have the scrumptious Olivia Munn in it which is a plus.

All I'll say is it was the film that killed by love for both Predator and Alien, something I never thought possible. Theres a new movie on the horizon but I'm not holding my breath for quality. |

One thing I really like about the second film is Bill Paxton. He was such a great actor not just in Predator 2, but films like Weird Science (where he played the obnoxious, militaristic brother of the main character) and small roles in films such as the Terminator. I also really like him in the 2004 Thunderbirds movie too. It was such a shame he died a few years ago.

Predator 2 is a bit like Die Hard 2 and RoboCop 2 in the fact that it's gorier, rougher and more sweary. All three are quite meanspirited in their execution, but they're all good fun in the right mood (especially Die Hard 2). They all came out in 1990 as well.
I don't believe it myself, but I can totally see why some people like the second Predator more than the first. The one thing I like more in the sequel is the location. A futuristic LA in summer is more interesting to me than a jungle. However, the characters and tension in the original are unbeatable.
