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.

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.

London Evening Standard

The Expendables meets The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel isn't an obviously winning formula.

Rated: 2/5

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.

With more action and, fortunately, without so many twists. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

The overly fun-loving tone of Red 2 prevents us from feeling truly involved.

RED 2 slowly-but-surely begins to fizzle out as it enters its padded-out and hopelessly convoluted midsection...

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

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

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

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

Pale imitation of the first. New additions do not help.
