Review Time: this sequel is poor.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, words and numbers on screen, cultural elements, slow-motion effects, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, background music, time jumps and place jumps.

The movement of this sequel is somewhat strange from this perspective; yes there could be plenty of things happening, including noisy sequences unfolding in front of us, but it doesn't really capture the viewers attention as under all this carnage it feels like applauding along film [like this for an example "that scene or sequence is finished and done with let's move on to the next scene or sequence."] Now I have to be fair and balanced the movement of this title does get better at some points, which I will discuss later in this review.

Storyline: in short for 98% of the time it is straightforward, there is one little thing which is hidden until it is time for it not to be [but I can't tell you this point.]

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, combat sequences, military helicopters being used which in one sequence this helicopter uses fire infrared decoy flares or something to this effect just in case I get this wrong and there is an exercise sequence as well.

Character developments/Performances/Comedy level: firstly the character developments are a paint by numbers thing, meaning as this is a sequel you would expect these kinds of character developments. Now for all the performances of this cast are serviceable as in they serve their purpose.

But now this is where I would like to talk about Butler as Secret Service Agent Mike Banning, Eckhart as President Benjamin Asher, the movement of this sequel and the comedy level. When these two characters/performers spend more time together in one way or another on screen, firstly the movement of this project feels better, secondly these character developments and the performances also feel of a better quality I mean you still get the paint by numbers progression, but it doesn't feel like it as these two characters/performers have good chemistry between them like for one example; in one scene put across to one another their own concerns and experiences and for the comedy level, it isn't exactly laugh at comedy neither is it of the dark origins, but it is for another example briefly Banning does something in this scene and Asher says "was that really necessary?" Which Banning says "No" so as you can read it is something like this

This film receives: 3/10, I think after taking everything into consideration, as always I don't discuss everything about a project but without Butler and Eckhart carrying this film together this sequel would have been much worse.
