Nadie 2

Loved the first movie; it was unexpectedly great. This one was just mediocre. The action and fight scenes were pretty good and fun to watch. The story line could have been better, but the absolutely terrible acting from Sharon Stone, in all honesty, completely ruined the entire movie for me. I'm not sure if they were looking for a surprise big name for this role, but they completely missed the mark on casting.

Why did we love the first movie?

It had a cool and mysterious hero. It was realistic, a little dark, and a little funny. There weren't many movies like the first one; it was almost unique.

This sequel, however, is a rather ordinary movie reminiscent of the 90s comedy-action films we've seen countless times before. Thanks to its 90-minute runtime, you won't get bored while watching it and you might even find some moments amusing. But that's all there is to it... This second movie offers nothing but empty and simplistic action scenes.

Timo Tjahjanto's Nobody 2 is a relentless, bone-crunching sequel that doubles down on the first film's blend of suburban angst and bloody mayhem. This time, Bob Odenkirk's Hutch Mansell is on vacation, which of course becomes a backdrop for an insane series of creatively staged, over-the-top fight sequences. Tjahjanto, known for his work on action films like The Night Comes for Us, brings a distinct, stylized flair to the violence, turning the tranquil setting of a small town and an amusement park into a series of deadly playgrounds. The plot is thin and largely exists to string together these incredible set pieces, but that's not a criticism-the movie knows exactly what it is. It's a joyful, unpretentious action romp. The action is more outlandish and even more graphic than the original, with a dark, cartoonish sense of humor that differentiates it from the more grounded, noirish tone of the first film.

Some critics have noted that the sequel loses some of the original's gritty charm in favor of a more comedic, outlandish style, but praise the film for being an entertaining and satisfying follow-up.

Is it worth watching? If you're a fan of the first film and are looking for a fun, fast-paced action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, then absolutely.

I had a good time eventually, but there were things I did not like. The first movie treated Nobody seriously, here some modern writer decided to make a complete and utter joke out of him.

It's chock full of modern tropes that people are sick of, like the supremely badass female villain that's totally believable. Fire the writers.

From the very first scene, you know exactly how it's going to go: one man, armed with a gun or a stick, will take down dozens of trained soldiers without so much as a scratch. Suspense? None.

Humor? Missing.

Credibility? Gone.

In the first film, Odenkirk and his father being unstoppable was already pushing it... but when this "superpower" starts spreading to characters with zero connection to their world, it gets flat-out embarrassing.

The plot feels like it was written in grade school: no context, no atmosphere, no growth-just one absurd episode after another. Every scene is so predictable you can call it before it happens... and you'll always be right.

If you want over-the-top, logic-free action, there are countless better options in the genre. Watching Bob Odenkirk-Saul Goodman himself-wasted on such an empty script is just painful.

Nobody 2? I recommend it to nobody 2.

Your turn - did you like it, or is it a hard pass?
