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.

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.

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.

Nobody 2 is a step back from the first film. Its story is shallow and just an excuse for repetitive action scenes. Unlike the first movie, this time we face stupid enemies who create no sense of threat! Even the action, despite its violence, doesn't match the creativity of the bus scene in the first film.
However, I watched this movie only to see Bob Odenkirk. He is always charismatic, but unfortunately, in this sequel, he didn't have enough space to showcase his unique acting and got lost in the weak storyline. In my opinion, go watch "Nobody 1" and forget this one entirely! 😄😄

Feels a lot more like a routine sequel - bigger, louder, and packed with more brutal villains, action, and explosions, but with only an okay plot. The stakes never feel as gripping as they could be, and the comedy lands just fine but nothing more. Strong family vibes throughout, but the story is fairly predictable. Still a fun ride, just not as fresh as the first.

Nobody 2 is the sequel to the first Nobody film from 2021. This sequel is directed by Timo Tjahjanto, known for The Night Comes for Us.
Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is still working as a hitman, a job that seems to have only gotten busier since his confrontation with the Russian mafia. When Hutch notices that the rest of his family could also use some relaxation, he decides to take them on a holiday to a vacation park he used to visit as a child.
When Hutch and his family run into trouble there, he discovers that the park is run by corrupt criminals led by mafia boss Lendina (Sharon Stone). She sends her best people after Hutch and his family, unaware that Hutch himself has connections in the criminal underworld and even works for them.
The first Nobody film was an entertaining action flick, essentially a standard action movie in the style of the John Wick films, but with Bob Odenkirk's own action style, which gave the film something unique. With this sequel, they attempt to mimic more of the atmosphere and action style of 1980s action movies. They succeed fairly well, which makes the film extra fun for fans of that kind of older action cinema.
The action scenes, however, are often filmed with too much movement or zoomed in too closely, so you can't always clearly see what's happening. Sometimes you're asked to more or less fill in yourself how Hutch takes out his enemies, though you are given enough beforehand to guide you in a certain direction. This makes it seem like they played it a bit safer with the action this time around. The explosions also don't always come across as convincing. Despite these less clear and safer moments, it remains an enjoyable action movie.
The story also stays on the safe side, meaning you can often predict what will happen and where the plot and action will ultimately lead. While Bob Odenkirk's character received help from his family in the first film, in part two this family assistance seems to have been expanded. As a result, the film can sometimes lose some of its focus. In addition to following Hutch, his wife and children also get extended screen time, but they don't always do anything important, which sometimes slows the pace.
Bob Odenkirk still convincingly plays a hitman who takes out his enemies with his own style. This time, however, he sometimes has to unnecessarily share his screen time with the actors playing his family. It's still fun to see Christopher Lloyd in an action movie, although he unfortunately gets less screen time than in the first film. Still, he manages to deliver some comedic moments.
The villains, unfortunately, come across as weaker this time. There is frequent switching between who is actually the real boss of the criminal organization. As a result, you spend more time with Lendina's subordinates than with her herself, making her less impactful as the final boss. She comes across more as someone who manages everything from behind the scenes, without you having spent enough time with her to really find her interesting.

It's really just almost the same scenario as the first movie, just not executed as well... the boat scene is supposed to be the equivalent of the bus scene in the first movie, it's just not as good.
Same movie different, bad guys, lesser well executed fighting scenes, felt a bit lazy.
And there's not really any character evolution... I gave a 6 as it was still entertaining, and there's were scenes worth watching,

If it wasn't for Sharon Stone's God awful acting, I would have given this an 8 star rating. I haven't seen a role played this badly in I don't know how long. She played her role as if they asked her to play it like a brain-dead lunatic and then she went overboard with it. Don't waste theatre money on this, wait for it to stream. The rest I enjoyed a lot and the fighting was very good.

I went into *Nobody 2* with sky-high expectations. The original *Nobody* was a surprise hit-an action-packed, darkly funny ride that gave us a fresh take on the "ordinary man with a secret past" trope. Like a lot of fans, I was genuinely excited to see where the story would go next, and I was more than happy to pay for the sequel. Sadly, I walked out feeling like I'd wasted both my time and my money.
Let's start with the positives: Bob Odenkirk is still great in the lead role. He brings the same mix of vulnerability and grit that made the first film so enjoyable. There are a few solid action sequences, and the choreography is as slick as ever. But that's about where the good news ends.
The biggest problem with *Nobody 2* is that it feels completely unnecessary. The plot is paper-thin and, worse, almost a carbon copy of the first film-just with higher stakes and less heart. Instead of building on the original's clever premise, the sequel leans hard into clichés and over-the-top set pieces that feel like they're trying too hard to impress. The sense of surprise and fun that made the first movie so memorable is nowhere to be found.
Character development is basically nonexistent. The new villains are forgettable, and the supporting cast doesn't get much to do. Even Odenkirk's character, Hutch, seems to be going through the motions. The emotional stakes that anchored the first film-his relationship with his family, his struggle to reconcile his violent past-are barely touched on here. It's all explosions and fistfights, with very little substance in between.
Worse, the pacing is a mess. The movie rushes through its setup and then drags through a series of repetitive action beats. By the time the credits rolled, I found myself checking my watch and wondering how a film with this much gunfire and carnage could feel so boring.
I wanted to love this movie. I really did. But *Nobody 2* is the kind of sequel that makes you wish they'd left well enough alone. It's not just a disappointment-it's a reminder that sometimes, one great movie is enough.
**Final verdict:** If you loved the original, maybe save your money and rewatch it instead. *Nobody 2* is a pale imitation that brings nothing new to the table. I left the theater feeling let down and, honestly, a little annoyed that I'd paid for the privilege.

I loved the first one and had high hopes for this one. Luckily I was satisfied. I think they did a really good job keeping up with the first one. I do feel like they went a bit over board with Sharon Stone's character. I think they should have dialed it down a bit with her. It kinda felt like a villain from an Expendables movie. Kind of over the top for the sake of being over the top. It just wasn't believable. The sheriff's vibes in the movie were a lot more of a better tone. They could have made her like that but willing to do more gruesome things. But that said, still a lot of fun and something worth seeing in theaters.

Nobody 2, the sequel to its surprisingly good predecessor, was one of the more exciting movies in the 2025 release window for me. Given that it's been nearly half of a decade since the first one released, I was expecting a fun mix of creative action and hints of dry, dark humor. And although the film is chock full of exciting stunts and pure adrenaline, there are many hiccups that make this film as dull as a nobody. Under a new director and a writer out of ideas, this film is a misfire, albeit a very entertaining one. It's one of those films you'd see just one time on a streaming service, which is a shame given the talent involved.
First and foremost, the action in Nobody 2 is breezy, stylish, and exciting. The camera swings and twists during the more hectic moments, making for a sequence more interesting than a straight, still view of guys firing guns at each other. The cinematography and overall production are noticeably better, given the higher budget. However, none of these scenes are as memorable as the now iconic bus fight from the original. Don't get me wrong, some of the set pieces do stick out, with the fair, for example, having more creative potential than a warehouse. But, even with the larger ambition and bigger budget, Nobody 2 doesn't play its hand well, making for a disappointing thriller. The culprit for the undercooked action choreography and the bumpy flow can be blamed on the script. It is extremely bad, even for the admittedly low standards of a summer action flick. Furthermore, it loses what made the original so captivating: its restrained, laid-back thriller approach.
Derek Kolstand, the writer of the straightforward original, probably wrote both the story and the script in a day. I don't think it was generated by AI either, as ChatGPT would have made a more original and polished screenplay. The dialogue is noticeably awkward and frequently robotic. It's also just bluntly boring! It's also plagued with feeling insultingly adolescent. It's as if it was written by a 12-year-old who just learned the F-word and wanted to put it in every sentence, even where it makes no sense. Vulgarity is often seen as a tool to increase the edgy, tough vibe of these movies, but here it feels shoved in, kicking and screaming. So, a lot of the generic drama, repetitive plot points, and poor flow hold this film back considerably. Without exaggeration, this sequel copies the original's beats almost exactly, dooming the film to being just an inferior "remake" of its better focused predecessor. It feels very forced as the first film's structure does not in any way match the sequel's vacation setting.
If you have seen the original, you'd know that its villain was a bit weak and uninteresting. Well, the first feature's now looks like an exemplary antagonist in comparison to whatever this picture's big bad was. She is as generic as they come, and in a lot of ways, laughably lackluster. The most memorable thing about her is her petting her dog -- and that alone should make it clear she isn't a chilling villain. Side characters tell Hutch throughout the movie how relentlessly and consistently evil she is, yet when she's on the screen, she is by no means intimidating. The actress who plays her, Sharon Stone, brings energy to it; but it doesn't save just how poorly written she is as an action baddie. Nobody 2 also attempts to add some depth to some of its supporting cast, but the additions are minimal, invalidated, and generally uninteresting. Bob Odenkirk's Hutch, though, remains awesome and his character is still exciting to follow around.
The humor is a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, it is frequently funny and I even had a few laughs in some spots. The film has good comedic timing and it embracing absurd ideas certainly is delightful. RZA's character, Harry, in particular, was hysterically funny. However, on the other hand, it has become an action comedy instead of an action thriller with sprinkles of humor. Because of that, the film has less of a distinct identity when compared to the last entry. Additionally, it tries a little harder to be goofy, which makes some crazy shenanigans feel more forced than usual. It ultimately further moves the movie into being a disposable picture instead of a comfort watch.
Nobody 2 is, overall, an unapologetically energetic and entertaining watch. The pacing is breezy, the runtime is short, Hutch is still a great protagonist, but the film's writing department is lacking for those craving more substance as well as being too familiar for those looking for an interesting action flick. Its dialogue and character moments sometimes reach Tommy Wiseau's The Room levels of bad. And, because of Kolstand's uninspired work, Nobody 2's talented production crew, stunt team, actors, and more are undermined for it. I recommend it as a one-time viewing during a guys' night, but once the adrenaline wears off, nothing else of value remains.
Score: 60/100.

The whole story lacked the drive and darkness that the first one had. It felt more like National Lampoon's Vacation meets John Wick.
Instead of holding back the violence until it needs to be used, it's now used more like slapstick.
Sharon Stone's interpretation of an evil boss feels more like an interpretation of the dr. Seuss Grinchen.
Unfortunately, the film turned out to be a wasted opportunity for something truly great.

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 absolutely love the first Nobody movie and it was honestly one of the most underrated films I watched in 2021. I was super excited for this film and although I don't think it's better than the first film I think it's still a great time but there's some things which I didn't think worked too well compared to the first film. Let me get my positives out the way I think Bob Odenkirk is fantastic as always and does another great performance playing Hutch and I love the direction this character is taking with a possible franchise happening ever. I also really enjoyed the family dynamic of the movie and how the family elements also play a big role in this movie like the first film as well and I really enjoy these moments. The action was also fantastic and there's some awesome action moments throughout the movie and this movie has some awesome choreography with some of the action scenes here in this film. I also think most of this movie has some great moments throughout its runtime and there's some good emotional moments as well. I think what makes this film lackluster a little is how many characters the movie tries to balance and we don't really get to see most of these characters do much and the movie just throws them to the side for majority of the film which isn't fun unfortunately as I wanted to see more character storylines in this. I also think the story is all over the place as well and there's some moments which make the movie feel a little dumb at times which I know this movie isn't doing anything too serious but there's some dumb plot lines in the movie. I also feel like this movie should've been longer as well as this movie literally flies by and just glances over some things which I wish they would've touched on more throughout the story and the writing is a little funky sometimes as well. Although there's some good comedy inserted throughout the movie which I found to help the movie just like how it helped out the first movie. This is still definitely a fun movie worth checking out in theaters and I would still recommend it for sure!

Bob Odenkirk does not get enough love when it comes to roles outside of Saul Goodman. This man is the writer of the famous Matt Foley SNL sketch so of course he can do funny. I watched the first Nobody just for fun back when it came out, plus I wanted to go through Bob's filmography. My hubby and I enjoyed it. We like action and we don't take movies too seriously. We just like to be entertained. And Bob always does this.
We just went and saw the sequel and we were entertained again. I personally couldn't stand watching Sharon Stone as that bat-crazy idiot of a boss. Now, I loved her back in the day (I was a teen in the 90s) and I love seeing women in strong roles, but she was just annoying. Saying the F bomb every sentence didn't make her look tough. It made her look like she was TRYING to be tough and that's a big difference. She just couldn't act.
Colin Hanks was disappointing as well. I thought he was a better actor than that, too, but oh well.
I liked everything else and I'm ready for Becca's back story because she held it down, too.
Can't wait to see what Bob will do next!

I just got back from seeing it at the theaters
The movie, overall, matches the original, which is a big accomplishment for a sequel: the original will always have the distinction of being the first, and with this particular premise, a huge hindrance is that he can't really be a Nobody twice. Part 1 could build up the moment where the audience and supporting characters find out who he is, but the franchise can't replicate that plot device in sequels. By Part 2, he's a Somebody.
Still, though, the movie surpasses the original in 2 areas. Firstly, I think that the comedy in Part 2 surpasses the comedy in Part 1. There were numerous instances in Part 2 that legitimately had me laughing, and I'm not easy to please on comedy (e.g. I found the 2025 Naked Gun movie to be unfunny). To say what parts had me laughing might ruin those parts, so I won't say. Secondly, I think that Sharon Stone makes a better, more memorable antagonist than the Russian guy in Part 1.
The movie's other positives are basically the same positives that apply to Part 1. Bob Odenkirk is a likable and charming protagonist. Though his role as Saul Goodman is iconic, you don't actually see Saul Goodman when you watch him in this movie; he occupies this role entirely. The movie blends the slick, intense action scenes with hilarious comedy in a way that neither clashes with the other or creates awkwardness. The compact 90-minute runtime is perfect. And I like Christopher Lloyd. We don't know how many more big-screen movies he'll appear in, so we should cherish them
In terms of flaws - the movie has a predictable plot; nothing here is really original or creative. And I don't imagine that many people, after watching, will remember this movie in the long-run. The movie builds up Sharon Stone's character, yet the protagonists take her out relatively easily. There are some cliches. There are some elements recycled from the first film
I gave the original a 6.5/10. I'll give this one the same score
6.5/10.

Part 1 could build up the moment where the audience and supporting characters find out who he is, but the franchise can't replicate that plot device in sequels. By Part 2, he's a Somebody.
Still, though, the movie surpasses the original in 2 areas. Firstly, I think that the comedy in Part 2 surpasses the comedy in Part 1. There were numerous instances in Part 2 that legitimately had me laughing, and I'm not easy to please on comedy (e.g. I found the 2025 Naked Gun movie to be unfunny). To say what parts had me laughing might ruin those parts, so I won't say. Secondly, I think that Sharon Stone makes a better, more memorable antagonist than the Russian guy in Part 1.
The movie's other positives are basically the same positives that apply to Part 1. Bob Odenkirk is a likable and charming protagonist. Though his role as Saul Goodman is iconic, you don't actually see Saul Goodman when you watch him in this movie; he occupies this role entirely. The movie blends the slick, intense action scenes with hilarious comedy in a way that neither clashes with the other or creates awkwardness. The compact 90-minute runtime is perfect. And I like Christopher Lloyd. We don't know how many more big-screen movies he'll appear in, so we should cherish them
In terms of flaws - the movie has a predictable plot; nothing here is really original or creative. And I don't imagine that many people, after watching, will remember this movie in the long-run. The movie builds up Sharon Stone's character, yet the protagonists take her out relatively easily. There are some cliches. There are some elements recycled from the first film
I gave the original a 6.5/10. I'll give this one the same score
6.5/10.

If you want to enjoy your weekend, you can go and watch this movie in the cinema or stream it on TV.
The movie is simple, from action to comedy. I enjoyed watching this movie, and it's the kind that puts a smile on your face and makes you forget about stress for a while. There's nothing really special about it, just a casual watch for fun. I'd rate it 7/10.

"Nobody 2" brings back the gritty, over-the-top action that made the first film such a surprise hit, but this time the formula feels a bit more worn out. The movie delivers plenty of stylish fights, brutal choreography, and the same deadpan charm from Bob Odenkirk, yet it struggles to capture the same freshness and punch of its predecessor.
The action is entertaining and at times wildly fun, but the story feels thinner and less compelling, more like an excuse to set up another string of shootouts and brawls than a fully realized narrative. While fans of the first film will likely enjoy the chaos, others may find it repetitive or lacking emotional weight.
That said, it's not without its merits-there are still flashes of creativity in the fight scenes and Odenkirk's grounded performance continues to elevate the material. But overall, "Nobody 2" feels more like an echo of the first film than a meaningful continuation. A decent watch, but nothing that lingers long after.

I thought the first film was great, I was hoping they wouldn't ruin it by doing a bad sequel. I am relieved to say it did not disappoint. John wick for laughs. One of the good things about the first one is the reveal from mild mannered bored family man to assassin. This didn't ruin the second. He was still a character accidentally caught up in a mess. The family were great and Connie Neilson gets more to do. Fight scenes original and funny. Sharon stone and tom hanks son delightfully over acting, which reminds us it does not take itself too seriously. I smiled and laughed throughout. I didn't think bob would ever shake off Saul Goodman, but he nailed another likeable character, bring on part three!

Even if it's nowhere near as good as the original, Nobody 2 is a fun sequel that plays it very safe by repeating the exact same plot beats and scenarios in a similarly fast paced run time. There's some stuff about fathers wanting their sons to be better than them to add a small amount of heart to proceedings and keep things going in between all the action, which culminates in an inventive Home Alone style siege at a theme park.
Bob Odenkirk continues to be a surprisingly capable action star who has only gotten more committed to the physicality. He balances the rage of Hutch with a likeable yet downbeat nature as he tries to do the right thing. It's nice to see Connie Nielsen getting more to do this time, Christopher Lloyd & RZA both make a welcome return and get the best moments. Unfortunately, Sharon Stone is kinda bad despite clearly having fun being the big bad.
Timo Tjahjanto's direction fully commits to the colourful summer aesthetic to give this instalment a style of its own. The action sequences are generally less impressive thanks to shakier camerawork but they are still well choreographed and executed in a suitably crunchy, bloody fashion where Callan Green's chaotic cinematography pulls off some cool maneuvers. The soundtrack remains a self aware highlight as well.

Such slop.
Sharon Stone as a vicious villain is straight out of AI's idea of a comic book villain. Zero depth, a stack of cliches, and a general feeling of embarrassment watching it unfold.
The script is awful, again AI worthy, with the same formulaic progression, the unimaginative action scenes, and a blatant disregard for realism. Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but this was brutal. You get guys wearing full tactical gear getting shot in the chest on their body armours with small round ammunition, and blood spilling from massive entry holes. The good guys wear zero armour, walk around fully exposed in front of a literal army of guys with machine guns with scopes, and nothing happens to them, while they execute everyone with small calibre guns. The story arcs & scenes are as dumb, tired and cliched as one could possibly imagine. Mob lair with mountains of cash, bio weapons, drums of flammable stuff, sports car, even an antique looking table saw, all in the same frame, for absolutely no reason other than laziness and mediocrity.
Absolutely appalling, and an insult to the original movie that was so good.

To reconnect with his family, Hutch plans to relive a childhood vacation. What was meant to be quality time, making memories, turns into another job.
A straightforward sequel with a basic story. Watching the first one is not necessary to enjoy this one. It is jam-packed with over-the-top brutal action from start to finish. The one hour and twenty-nine minutes go by quickly with the never-ending action. Lacking a substantial story but full of mindless violence, this movie is worth a stream.
