Which film do you prefer Predator 2 or Aliens?

[Aliens1986fanboy]

For me its no contest definitely Aliens while Predator 2 is good as well its pretty obvious that Aliens is much much better!

[Baron Von Marlon]

Predator 2.

Aliens vs Predator 2 is the question that should never had been asked.

[Dingbat]

I love them both, can anyone actually tell me why Predator 2 is so unpopular?

Pacing is a bit clunky.  It's very stop-start after the train scene, when it should've been building up to the climax.

What turned out to be a very entertaining thread questioned the same thing:

PREDATOR 2 - I just don't get it!

Predator 2..Alien's is far inferior in comparison.

Moved and poll added.

[The Kurgan]

Love them both, but Aliens takes it for me.

[SiL]

Aliens is the superior film.

Predator 2, however, is much easier to watch on a whim. (and was also the first Alien or Predator movie I ever saw so has something of a soft spot in my heart)

Hey.

[Voodoo Magic]

I did immediately think video game or Requiem when I first saw the topic, not noticing the "s" in Aliens. 

Perhaps "Aliens or Predator 2? Which one is better?" is more optimal.

[Samhain13]

Those two are tied for me. I see that Aliens is a better movie, better characters, acting, plot but it loses some points due to the introduction of the "bug hive thing" since I liked the portrayal of the original creature more.

While on Predator 2, it took the stuff I liked about the Predator creature on the original and pumped some gains on it, more Predator moments, kills, weapons, a look on a ship and its clan, without changing the views I had on it.

[Kimarhi]

Aliens no contest.

[Still Collating...]

Even though it's Aliens for me, I've never understood why Predator 2 was unpopular. Love the style and the humor and great expansion on the lore. An awesome and fun movie.
