Arg... after a good 1st movie, this was a huge disappointment. They tried to add a ganster story to this sequel but it was full of plot holes and retarded scenes that made no sense.

They tried to add a ganster story to this sequel but it was full of plot holes and retarded scenes that made no sense. Unlike the 1st movie, this one tried very hard to suck you into the plot which is the downfall of the flick. They should have stuck with the original idea which was a straight forward action movie. I also didnt enjoy the fight scenes nearly as much because they were even nuttier than the 1st movie. A guy snapped a mans femur with his bare hands... a 90lb girl with 2 hammers eviscerated a man with them like she was slicing butter with a hot knife. Another guy got hit 15 times with a baseball bat and didnt even flinch... The 1st movie had crazy scenes, but this one was more like a cartoon. Again, the movie has a very serious tone and they tried to give it a plot and they just couldn't pull it off. I couldnt get into it. Put a fork in it.… Expand

Totally forgettable when compared to the first Raid. It doesn't even seem like it's from the same director.
Either the first Raid was created by luck or forced neatly into a well edited smaller film for budgetary reason or Evans is a oneTotally forgettable when compared to the first Raid. It doesn't even seem like it's from the same director.
Either the first Raid was created by luck or forced neatly into a well edited smaller film for budgetary reason or Evans is a one hit wonder.. (critically speaking.) The Raid 2 is a mess and the fights are ridiculous and not in good way. It's departed from the possible into cartoon violence.. The script is 10 times too busy and the film is way too long. Very disappointed.… Expand

The action's not as good, the story is illogical, and the movie only takes advantage of the 1st movie's appeal.Instead of making a quality movie, they went with more gore, and a silly story that clearly defines the good guys from the bad,The action's not as good, the story is illogical, and the movie only takes advantage of the 1st movie's appeal.Instead of making a quality movie, they went with more gore, and a silly story that clearly defines the good guys from the bad, because that's easier I guess. Most of the action isn't choreographed well and has characters waiting to fight one at a time just to be dismembered in an incredibly violent way. The 1st movie had a simple story that allowed for a variety of subplots. R2 has a complicated story, complicated subplots, and you won't care about any of it, or any of the characters. No one is a hero, No one is a villain, except for the really violent ones(which is everyone). Also, rather than making the fights art, they are gore. It's as if the producers heard people saying they liked when in the 1st movie, so they made a film of finales. The rest of the film is a collection of introductions to characters about to die. This guy is good, so his death matters, this one is violent and a villain, this one too. Are you happy they died? Are you sad? As a fan of the 1st movie, I'm just disappointed.… Expand
