A poor action film that lacks suspense, adrenaline or verisimilitude. [Full review in Spanish]December 25, 2010
Better than the first, but not by much.February 09, 2006
The tepidly anticipated return of the videogame vixen belly-flopped on its US release, and it did so with a splat that could drown out several summer blockbusters' worth of car-crunch and detonations.April 29, 2009
It's clunky, lifeless, murky, and worst of all incredibly boring.July 30, 2003
The direction is so workmanlike, so dispassionately competent, that it seems De Bont may be as resigned to his career's downward plummet as those of us who admired his debut film, the thrilling Speed, are puzzled by it.April 12, 2010
This Indiana Jones knockoff goes down smoothly enough, and Jolie isn't bad at all.July 29, 2003
Jolie remains more magazine cover than actress (or movie star), and the franchise she supports is more Nintendo after-school time killer than rousing adventure cycle.July 31, 2003
Scenery can't save this blindingly dull sequel.January 12, 2016
A movie like this can kill a franchise before it gets off the groundOctober 18, 2008
Jan de Bont's direction is also disappointing, and while Angelina Jolie continues to be an eye catching female superhero, she will only do it for the most undemanding audiences this time.April 12, 2010
The less welcome news is that most of the same shortcomings that cramped the first installment are still dogging the sequel, which delivers on action but dawdles through downtime.January 22, 2010
It's all a confection, but the plot is tight, Jolie is hot, and I'll probably see the next one, too.
