Recently I visited the nearest movie theater to see this sequel that wasn't needed but made the franchise so much better. Despite not having Morgan Freeman in the sequel RED 2 still entertains with great villains and more familiar faces such as Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Lee Byung-hun. Although having many plot holes you tend to not care, because you are just entertained. The action is better then the first, because of the larger budget, in which more CG work was used for the helicopter crash and truck crash. It capitalized on the larger parts of the first film adding some references from it's predecessor. The comedic timing was probably the best part of the film. Every joke got at least one laugh from the audience.
The Verdict: Although RED 2 suffers from many plot holes and originality issues, the careless action sequences and great comedy carries you through the movie entertained and thoroughly satisfied. 7/10
