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.

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.

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.

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.

The Old Guard 2 (2025) Honestly, I don't think there should be a sequel; this movie isn't nearly as enjoyable as the first one was. Netflix isn't prioritizing project quality; they simply want to fill their catalog with low-budget content.

It should be illegal to produce a film like this without a pre-planned sequel. Overall not nearly as good as the first film.

I don't really understand what people were expecting. It's a great popcorn flick. It does what you would expect. Expand the world building, gives us good fight scenes and obviously set things up for a third installment. I enjoyed it just as much as the first one.

The Old Guard 2 brings back the team with bigger stakes, deeper lore, and plenty of action. I really enjoyed seeing the characters again, especially with the new additions shaking things up. It’s not perfect and can feel a bit heavy with the mythology, but the fights, performances, and emotional threads kept me hooked.
