The idea of moving to an urban environment and the whole "city as the jungle" metaphor sounds intriguing, but for a large part of the film, Hopkins jettisons what made the first so great - tension, claustrophobia and dread punctuated by brutal, but quick action - in favour of explosions, gun porn and male posturing. There are also huge plot and character inconsistencies and visual gaffes and the film's version of a strong female character seems to boil down to swearing a lot and grabbing men's balls. Quite why the filmmakers decided to set this in 1997 seems laughable now as the 80s vibe comes through even more so than the original. Things pick up considerably in the final third as Glover takes the fight to the Predator and the film finally takes advantage of the different environment to deliver on the whole hunter/hunted theme, with a clever sequence in a meat packing factory that provides some much needed tension to the action. The final act aboard the Predator's ship may help to expand the mythology a little (despite the ridiculous plot contrivance of having the ship in that environment at all) but again the inconsistent approach to the film ensures it is devoid of any real tension or threat and becomes just like any other fight scene.
