★ 4/10
This movie was a clear example of when studios can't get enough of a good thing. Red didn't need a sequel at all. This cheap attempt at recreating the comedic magic that the the first movie had reminded me plenty of the overkill series of the Hangover. Some things should just be left alone in singular existence. 2/5 Stars is all this got from me.

Still a must-watch but it was never going to live up to the original.

Way better then the first. Way more action too and explosions. This one is hilarious too. It needs a part 3 now.
