This movie, about the Predator who returns to Earth, this time to stake a claim on the war-torn streets of a dystopian Los Angeles, is a good sequel to Predator (1987).
The beginning was similar to the previous one, where there was some kind of conflict between people while the Predator interfered without notice. I think it was clever by the production to not set this movie into the jungle again, which could have resulted as a boring "copy". It was exciting to see how the Predator mobilized in a city of skyscrapers. I think it was good that the characters had their own story like in the first one, because a simple "human vs. Monster"-movie is potentially boring.
It was interesting to get even closer to the Predator this time. I especially loved the end, where several predators suddenly appeared inside the ship. We didn't really get any answers about what their real purpose was of being on Earth, if there was one. We know that they collect skulls, but why? Is there a deeper reason for this? The end really gave me some interest in what could happen next. Anyway, my favorite scene was the subway scene. That was well executed! The scene was mostly set in the dark, which made it even more intense and suspense, and the Predator acted so brutal among the terrified civilians. A fantastic scene!
I think the actors were decent, but I have to mention that María Conchita Alonso (as Leona Cantrell) was not good at all. She kind of disturbed my enjoyment sometimes.
But overall, this movie had an entertaining action where we got even closer to this terrifying creature.
