Alex McLevy AV Club This is the kind of brainless but trashily enjoyable film that would suit the bill when you're looking for something to watch hangover on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Unfortunately, there is no reason to care about anyone onscreen other than nostalgia for a 30-year-old movie that no one likes or remembers. Rated: 1/5 Jul 7, 2020 Full Review Rob Hunter Slashfilm So yeah, maybe there's just enough here to make a watch worthwhile for fans of the original - but I would wait until it hits a streaming service you're already paying for... Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Fred Topel We Live Entertainment Backdraft 2 is a lot of investigating and interviewing but so was the original. Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Unnecessary, nonsensical sequel has violence, language. Rated: 1/5 Jun 11, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Jason M D Backdraft 2 was not that bad but could have been better the acting was fine Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Matthew A If you are expecting anything of the caliber of the original... Not much as far as action, romance, drama, or anything else.. Blah, Blah, Blah. There really isn't much to say about this one. The actors did a fine job with what they had to work with, but that wasn't much!!! ... and shouldn't have been allowed to use the name! I normally say watch it and judge for yourself, but this one... This was NOT worth the time invested!! Not even as background noise! -Matthew Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Robert H This movie was absolutely awful. It did such an injustice to the first. The CGI was the worst, low budgeted, and incredibly c class acting. I am shocked that William Baldwin would even agree to such a horrible flick after having been part of the first, which I regard as a classic. There's literally nothing good to be said about this movie at all. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen and I was better off before having watched it. It nearly ruined one of my favorites for me, the original, so I opt to erase this from my memory. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review John B Despite the poor rating, I enjoyed this one as I thought it had a good storyline using the son of the former backdraft star to hunt down those setting fires for insurance purposes. I give it a two thumbs up & hope they do another one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Sergio C What were they thinking, just poor acting by everyone the editing was amateur the CGI was abhorrent borderline high-school standard,the writing was definitely done by unpaid interns and more Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/22 Full Review bruce r This didn't feel like a movie. It felt more like a weekly episode of 'Backdraft: The Series'. All in all, not a terrible film. Just really an unnecessary sequel that probably didn't need to be made. It was pretty much CSI meets fire department. It passed the time on a lazy Saturday afternoon. I fell asleep during it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
