Fresh and Exciting

Captivating movie !

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

More of the same from the R.E.D team.Loads of big stars playing for fun. Helen Mirren is a again a treat. Decent script, with a great ludicrous plot.Despite the seniority of the stars (or because of it!), it still has top class action always tinted with a good dollop of humour.One to sit down to with a beer or three and just have fun!

Let me start by saying that I love this film so much.I was lucky enough to catch this one in theaters with a buddy, unlike the first, which I only got to see on DVD, which I now own both.Frank and his team must stop a shadowy conspiracy from finding and using Night-Shade,with the help of a wacky ex agent,who is the inventor of the mysterious weapon.Overall, a great action-comedy with a good cast and a well written story, and I think a Superior follow up to the original. I give it a 7.4/10. More action, more laughs, more thrills. It's a real good time, I highly recommend it.

Red 2 was not as good as the original.Tone is not quite as playful, and this time around, the score is generic and off, the cinematography is over-stylized for no good reason, and the editing is rushed and inconsistent.The characters are still great, and the performances are solid. Everyone here is doing their best to make it as fun as the first time around, but the style and direction really make it hard to engage with them.This one did have some good fight scenes and a pretty good aerial chase and there is some travel to interesting locations, as well. The first 20 minutes are pretty great in general too, and overall, it's not a bad movie by any stretch. Just not a very good one either, and certainly disappointing considering how refreshing the first RED was.If this movie were under a completely different name, I may have given it a better rating.

My quick rating - 7,1/10. The over the hill spies are at it again. The first movie was thoroughly enjoyable and I have to say this sequel is on par with the first. Quality action scenes edited together very well to keep the motion going without getting lost. Actors put in enough character to drive the spy-game storyline through enough to make you care about it and not just sit back and watch guns blaze. Anthony Hopkins character was exceptionally well done and was a needed jolt into the flick for sure. It is a rare occasion that you can say the sequel may have been better then the first but.....Well, I will have to let you decide that one. All and all a well made picture.
