RED 2 movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture: No movie with this much ass-kicking should feel so lifeless. Read more
Tom Russo, Boston Globe: "RED 2" is a sequel that has some snappy interplay, typically courtesy of Malkovich, but mostly feels like a cast working to manufacture what came naturally the first time. Read more
James Rocchi, MSN Movies: What's interesting about 'RED 2' is that, not only is it better than its predecessor, it is miles better ... Read more
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times: Cars careen, lazily written infiltration plans are executed, and the violence is plentiful and toothless. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: Any movie that gives Helen Mirren a chance to shoot really big guns, wear an ermine astrakhan and channel Bette Davis as Queen Elizabeth can't be all bad, and "Red 2" isn't, though it comes close. Read more
Scott Bowles, USA Today: Passable summer entertainment - an Expendables with people who can act. Read more
Soren Anderson, Seattle Times: "Red 2" does have its share of surprises, and the biggest of these is how funny the picture is and how very much fun the actors in it seem to be having. Read more
Justin Chang, Variety: An obligatory sequel that can't quite recapture the sly, laid-back pleasures of its cheerfully ridiculous predecessor. Read more
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club: Like its predecessor, it's a one-joke movie; the difference is that this time around, the joke is better. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: There is a fine line between silly dumb fun and out-and-out stupidity, and "Red 2" crosses it one time too many. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: The movie's adequate. That's not much. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: It's nice to see oldsters cavorting in kaboom movies, but a little of this stuff goes a long way. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Ridiculously action-packed and just as endearing, Red 2 is why we go to sequels despite our well-earned cynicism about studios churning them out. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The best thing about RED 2, like its predecessor, is its lightness of tone. Too many movies with comic-book roots come on too seriously, even when the comics themselves have a loose, fast, jocular wit about them. Read more
William Goss, Film.com: What was once engagingly silly is now much closer to insultingly dumb. Read more
Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter: Not that it isn't entertaining, but the film's premise is certainly well past its "use by" date. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: If everyone delivered their lines with the rat-a-tat-tat precision of Malkovich, Mirren and Hopkins, the studio might have had a better movie on its hands. Read more
Tony Hicks, San Jose Mercury News: Any good spy has to take risks to be successful. Too bad director Dean Parisot and his team didn't employ the same concept. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: "RED 2" stands quite sturdily on its own as a caper comedy whose stars just happen to be approaching 50, 60 and even 70 years old. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Recycled, Expensive, Dull. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: It's never laugh-out-loud funny or inside-track smart, but in a summer full of bombastic failures, a lack of pretense is enough. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: How bad could the boneyard be compared to sitting through this execrable piece of non-entertainment? Better dead than "RED 2." Read more
Michael Sragow, Orange County Register: This sequel to the action comedy about veteran espionage agents charging back into action lacks elegance and wit and is devoid of thrills, except for those brought by Byung-hun Lee as a Korean contract killer. Read more
David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer: Enemies and allies have changed sides so many times so randomly, that you're not sure who's fighting whom or why. You just know they all look a little old to be engaged in this sort of reckless behavior. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Sitting through it is nowhere near as enjoyable as the experience of watching its predecessor. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: This is a likable, almost gentle comedy and also a violent action film about the possibility of a nuclear bomb going off in a major city. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It's utter drivel coasting by on slick proficiency (at 100 miles an hour). Read more
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Red 2" is not just a bad movie, it's bad karma. And the target audience of adult moviegoers who respect the names in its once-vital cast have a bull's-eye on their collective cranium. Read more
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic: Willis is self-evidently capable of kicking the asses of men considerably younger than himself. But at some point shouldn't he consider an alternative pastime? Read more
Adam Nayman, Globe and Mail: It's quite possible that Helen Mirren has never had to speak such terrible dialogue in her life. Read more
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star: It often feels tired and by the book, missing the heart of the original in ways that can't be enlivened by any number of crazy lids on Marvin's addled cranium. Read more
Anna Smith, Time Out: Ultimately, it's popcorn nihilism without the big laughs that helped distract from the casual approach to life and death in 'Red'. Read more
Keith Uhlich, Time Out: As in the first film, the seasoned-pro cast provides the few fleeting pleasures to be found. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice: It should all be so much fun. But Red 2 just feels dutiful, as if it's relieved that all its parts somehow fit together properly. Read more
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post: Sequels are, for the most part, inherently stale, so it's no shock the luster has faded in "Red 2." The bigger surprise is just how clunky and unsatisfying this follow-up feels. Read more
