La vieja guardia 2

All this wait & hype, build-up from post credit scene of 1st part to serve this? I mean, yeah the action scenes were great, the storyline seemed pretty good too since the begining but as we kept going we just got served same old thing which we got in last part. Introduction to new characters was 'how do i put it...' i guess the most subtle word I have is 'Under-Utilised'. I seriously had a lot of expectations from the movie coz I actually loved 1st part but this isn't what anyone of us were expecting it to be. This is some half baked dish served to do a fan service I guess? They could've done alot better.

Its hard to make a sequel. The 5 stars is to high of a score. The stars are for the fightscenes (to few) and for the cinamatic side; The decors and scenery are good. The acting, storyline and the speed where boring and pretty predictable. In the first movie the actors had more chemistry more humor it seemed they had more fun. The first fight scene had some of that. The story made more sense. It seemed like bits and pieces and inlost track where they where at times. I turned the movie off halfway it just didnt grabbed or could hold my attention. And the end? The end diserves no stars at all!!. I am very glad i did not see this in the cinema. I would feel robbed. Ow English is not my native language so please dont mind my grammatica.

Sorry, but as this is a sequel, I have to compare to the first one. And boy oh boy, what an utter disappointment. So many shortcuts, so many empty and void characters. They could have made something good with Uma's arrival but no, just an empty movie. Oh, and the fight choreography is definitely not up to the first one. Also way less violent than the first. And the story in itself is not bad per se, but the way it is shown is just plain déjà-vu. Also, the way some characters interact with each other feels fake, too many inconsistencies.

My advice, go watch the first one and stay at that, you'll spent better your time.

I quite enjoyed the original film and was excited when this came out.

Unfortunately, it's chock full of lazy writing with some mediocre acting sprinkled in. It dragged on and on, and when things started to look interesting, the movie ended! I wouldn't event call that a cliffhanger - that would imply something interesting that didn't conclude. This was not interesting. This left a bad taste in the mouth.

There were a couple really lame attempts at humor that fell flat.

You just get the impression they were bent on making this sequel into 2 parts. This being a primer for a finale. Except this is a terrible ad for that finale.

Someone called this the "typical sequel" and sadly, that's true. This was badly made.

5/10 is generous for this flick.

First of, I quite liked the first one. It was not the greatest movie ever, not by a long shot. But it was quite enjoyable.

Here we have a "typical sequel" in the worst kind of way. It takes bits of the original one and weaves it into into a very obscure second part that does not make sense at all.

I was looking forward to seing Uma Thurman again, but her role is actually rather small, not interesting and not very well played.

They opted for fight scenes rather than substance or at least a storyline and the result is just boring, pointless and disappointing.

Worst of all, it looks like they are going for a third part, which I will definitely NOT watch.
