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

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

Felt like they didn't care about this sequel. A waste of good actors and a flimsy script based on passing their immortality around.

Bad script. Even for an action film. Bad acting because of it. Even from good actors. Nothing to carry the performances. No character development. Overall a very disappointing sequel. Shame.

Old guard 2 was okay. I expected more because I did throughly enjoy the first movie. However, I found myself pausing and re-watching certain scenes because I was not paying attention. The action is really good but the plot was a little mediocre. If you need something to put on , I would recommend this watch.

I was pretty bummed at the reviews. I almost didn't watch it but really glad I did. I've seen soooo many crap movies the last few years (that have gotten way better reviews) so this isn't fair. I liked this one a lot. I loved the first one more but still enjoyed myself. Charlize is more relatable in the one. I'm thinking the story line will be explained in the third one because there were holes but the reviews definitely don't give it the credit it deserves.
