Critics Consensus

Bogged down by tedious lore and lackluster execution, The Old Guard 2 finds this budding franchise already long in the tooth.

Everything we thought the first movie would be, only worse.

Empire Magazine

Too much distance has crept in for The Old Guard 2 to feel memorable, and it shows. A convoluted, sequel-baiting mess that proves time is not a healer.

Rated: 2/5

There isn’t much of a story here. And though the sequel adds a few new faces, there aren’t many fully defined characters either.

Rated: 1.5/4

It tries to pack in too much and the main characters don’t get to develop very much.

It really pains me that this film isn’t nearly as good as the first one. I’m a big champion for the first film, but the magic seems to have been lost here, either with the change in director, the film’s long time on the shelf, or something else.

It feels like a film interrupted. However, I’m leaning positive for now, believing that the world building here can benefit a third installment. However, the third film could be far more Jurassic World: Dominion, and less The return Of The king.

Rated: 61/100

It seemed very good, a lot of action, the plot held at suspense for all the time, final surprises, a good movie I wait for the third part of the saga.

What a disappointment from an original source so rich with backstory and exposition. As good and rip-roaring the first offering was this sequel only served to make me long for its quality If 3 comes in rapid fashion delving into the subjects Brierly touched on here I'll reconsider this as they needed three hours to give the viewer a greater understanding of why

Complete dreck unfortunately. Mostly filler, blows the one thing any watcher from 1 had on their mind immediately (literally the first scene), nobody is interested in Mr scruffy librarian who lives in a rock, nobody's interested in exactly where everyone was standing in medieval Italy, largely vacant of any suspense. The fight scenes there are have no stakes, and the final fight feels like they're just doing it for sport as the villain's chopper just waits for her to get bored. Not only is the whole movie just barely entertaining while setting up a third movie (which by now I'm dreading), it didn't even pay off its own setup. Andy's axe has no weight. It might as well be a stick. Maybe the most boring movie I've ever seen.

Not as good as the first one the action had me engaged. Hope the third film be better if Netflix greenlit another sequel

Could well be then worst movie I have ever seen. Ends in the middle. For shame. Old Guard 1 was awesome. Producer and director should be fired.
