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.

Kelechi Ehenulo

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

Daily Record (UK)

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.

Mac the Movie Guy

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

Entertainment is what it's not here, being just another forgettable and irritating thing in the Netflix catalog, ending all the charisma that this franchise had in the first film, making us hope that "the old guard" in its second time, retires for good.

The most dreadful diatripe. Why do I not check rotten tomatoes before watching movies.

Whoever thought violent action sequences could be so tedious. Contrived plot as a weak framework for a serious of violent, but silly, scenes.
