Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Bob Townsend "...this is still very much an action for action’s sake movie." more... C   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "This is a better movie than the first one, more assured, more entertaining." more... B   Chicago Tribune Mark Caro "...all of the movie's competence can't outweigh the prevailing been-there/done-that feeling." more... C   Cincinnati Enquirer Margaret A. McGurk "...silly, sloppy and - worst of all - boring." more... D   E! Online "Like the video games that inspired it, this installment isn't better or worse than the first--it's just more of the same." more... C+ filmcritic.com Amit Asaravala "The end result is a movie that tries -- and fails -- to be much more than it really is." more... C- Los Angeles Times Manohla Dargis "...signals a distinct if distinctly minor improvement on the first." more... B- New York Post Jonathan Foreman "...undermined by lame romance and lamer action." more... C   New York Times Dave Kehr "Too many of the stunts are too obviously digitally enhanced to carry much sense of danger..." more... C- ReelViews James Berardinelli "...just plain dumb." more... D   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "Sadly, scenery can't save this blindingly dull sequel." more... C   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...this isn't half bad. It's a quarter bad, at most." more... C+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...there's no pacing, no suspense and no vulnerability for the protagonist so it all soon gets numbingly tiresome." more... C   USA Today Claudia Puig "...more capably directed, better edited and sharper-looking than the 2001 original, though the script remains mediocre and banal." more... C   * Yahoo!
