The movie isn't going anywhere, but it goes in circles at top speed.

Hal Hinson Washington Post (Top Critic)

Yes, there is a shot of Mel Gibson's bum, and, no, director-producer Richard Donner still hasn't learned the first thing about directing action so that it has any coherence or beauty.

They know what they're doing and how to do it, but we miss the sense of invention that brightened the earlier movies.

Variety Staff Variety (Top Critic)

Manages to be highly entertaining and sanctions all its violence by making the bad guys so despicable that death seems to be the only solution.

TIME Magazine (Top Critic)

A cheerfully amoral movie that cannily caters to and satirizes our passion for cinematic violence.

More of the same, but it's now so far removed from any sense of reality, and done with such ham-fisted insistence, it's become a clumsy parody of itself.

A lethal dose of action, thrills, and comedy.

What this sequel delivers is still the kind of high-speed roller-coaster action that producer Joel Silver's films often do so well.
