I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. Every time Ryan, Samuel, and Salma open their mouth it becomes a big laugh moment.

Fun enough action-comedy, probably a tad better (from what I can remember) than the first one, mainly due to the inclusion of Salma Hayek who was great and the sparring between Reynolds and Jackson wasn't as annoying compared to the last go around. Solid supporting cast with Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman as well. **3.75/5**

As a sequel of an action comedy, this is a _predictable_ action comedy. It fills two hours with all the expected elements, in multiple instances and variations. Wit replaced by "strong language", plot replaced by clichés, suspense replaced by action sequences (with CGI to reduce costs and make things safer). A couple of nods to completely different franchises, solid pacing; no arc of suspense de...
