What to Know

Critics Consensus

While it's still hard to argue with its impeccable cast or the fun they often seem to be having, Red 2 replaces much of the goofy fun of its predecessor with empty, over-the-top bombast.

Kimber Myers The Playlist While we applaud the minds behind Red 2 for making a film for adults in a sea of movies for kids and teenage boys, they didn't actually make a good film for adults. Rated: C+ Aug 13, 2013 Full Review Guy Lodge London Evening Standard The Expendables meets The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel isn't an obviously winning formula. Rated: 2/5 Aug 12, 2013 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times The trick to RED 2's success is its willingness to allow the actors to roar through all their greatest hits at the loudest possible volume. Rated: 3/5 Aug 2, 2013 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine With more action and, fortunately, without so many twists. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Apr 11, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The overly fun-loving tone of Red 2 prevents us from feeling truly involved. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews RED 2 slowly-but-surely begins to fizzle out as it enters its padded-out and hopelessly convoluted midsection...

Lantern L Red 2 is a very good, interesting and not boring movie. Yes, the plot is not very good, but it is not really needed there, it is just a movie to watch with friends and have a good time Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 56 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Frenetic Gunplay, Drug Material, Pervasive Action Violence and Some Language!!!!! Starring Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $53,200,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de ação são fracas, o elenco é bacaninha, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Frans B More action than predecessor and cast seems more settled in character. Same comfortable "movie night" entertainment as before. Worth watching more than once Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Anderson O Some of the suprise new additions add intrigue to Red 2. The magical and surprisingly unique twist adds a clever take, more action, sillier car chases and intense grudges. Redd 2 also ages well with no pun intended. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review alan g Pale imitation of the first. New additions do not help. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
