Critics Consensus

Bogged down by tedious lore and lackluster execution, The Old Guard 2 finds this budding franchise already long in the tooth.

Everything we thought the first movie would be, only worse.

2/5

Too much distance has crept in for The Old Guard 2 to feel memorable, and it shows. A convoluted, sequel-baiting mess that proves time is not a healer.

There isn’t much of a story here. And though the sequel adds a few new faces, there aren’t many fully defined characters either.

It tries to pack in too much and the main characters don’t get to develop very much.

It really pains me that this film isn’t nearly as good as the first one. I’m a big champion for the first film, but the magic seems to have been lost here, either with the change in director, the film’s long time on the shelf, or something else.

It feels like a film interrupted. However, I’m leaning positive for now, believing that the world building here can benefit a third installment. However, the third film could be far more Jurassic World: Dominion, and less The return Of The king.

LOL lame. Ended movie at chapter 9 of 10… only missing the conclusion, finale? And no plans for a 3rd film at the moment to finish it? Height of lame. This story felt episodic, like episode 14 of a season. No depth, no mystique or awe of the first film, no weight. In other words, a proverbial "sequel". And a sequel with no finale to the episode. As if Magnum was looking for a missing woman, he and Rick chase leads and as they get close, the episode just ends. Lame.

The Old Guard 2 is the sequel to the earlier successful streaming movie of the same name. It stars Charlize Theron as Andy who is an immortal mercenary and leads her group of other immortal mercenaries. During the first movie we were introduced to all of these characters and their back stories but in part 2 we get what feels like half of the movie sifting through their emotional baggage. We get the usual McGuffin that can make immortals mortal, an immortal that was under water for five hundred years gets found, and some new characters whose names I don't remember get introduced. While I enjoyed Theron's performance and fight scenes in the first movie, in part 2 they felt wooden and really forced. In fact most of the dialog just doesn't feel organic, the plot is really contrived, and that ending which literally is just setting up part 3 was awful. I'd recommend skipping this and going and watching the original movie again.
