Why Predator 2 is an awesome movie.

Alot of people give Predator alot of stick and I cant see why. Not the best of movies buy any major leap but still a decent flick and one that really flesh's out Yautja culture. The setting puts the hunter in the concrete jungle and show what a beast like this does when hunting in a urban setting would be like. I mean this think take's out a tube train while its moving.

While the characters are some what hammy and Glover is no where a decent replacement Arnold's Dutch and the gangster subplot disposable at best. The special effects are awesome for the time. We see the predator do some savage damage in cloaked from in the penthouse and the subway train. We learn the yautja  hunting patterns and more about his code and honor. Sparing the kids in the graveyard and Leona when she was with child showed that this was no mindless monster, a hunter, a tribes man, a part of something bigger and more older then the human race.

The ending along with the comic's intoduced us to the concept of Yautja hunting xenomorph. The skull inclusion in that trophy case was no throw away idea. The appearance of the rest of the clan yet again proves the predators society is tribal and that this hunter is a novice cutting his teeth. It also displays their code as when Glover fells the city hunter he is rewarded with a trophy himself.
As I stated not a great film but still pretty action packed and clever to show people what goes on in the head of the galaxy's most dangerous hunters.
