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.

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

A waste of a kickass pairing in what could have been a fun and provocative franchise.

I loved the original The Old Guard, that film was a lot of fun. This one lacks heart. Even with all the action scenes you can forget that you're watching it while you're watching it.

Rated: 5.5/10

[...]because as we see over and over, rather than an insistence that immortality makes a person callous and disconnected, the Old Guard maintain an empathy for humanity and each other that is staggering and beautiful.

More or less the same as the first one, and obviously, it will have a 3rd one

I'd looked forward to the sequel but the fight sequences are weak. I found it very disappointing. Like too many sequels it lost its way.

it is worth watching.. possibly a bit short.. setting up for the next installment.. would have been much better if the next part was part of this movie itself.. otherwise, still good enough to receive a positive review..

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Plenty of action, but horribly executed. The characters made uncharacteristic decisions that make zero sense. Huge miss… needed a common sense coordinator.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This movie is about 1hr 47mins too long. The first movie gripped me with intriguing characters and action packed plot. This is boring, drawn out and legitimately tiring to watch. Few of the returning characters are as engaging and the new characters just provide endless plot holes that make zero sense. I hated this movie and I hate that its tarnished its original. Avoid at all costs.
