San Francisco Chronicle
Awesome, awesome action. Skimpy, skimpy plot. - 70
Variety
The fight sequences (choreographed by Raffaelli) are especially creative, with the combatants using any available object, including a priceless Van Gogh painting, to get the job done. - 70
Los Angeles Times
This time, with Besson scripting / producing and Patrick Alessandrin directing, it amounts to a raucous and colorfully junky helping of seconds. - 70
The New York Times
It’s pleasurable nonsense and another reminder that one of the great pulls of cinema is the spectacle of other bodies in blissful motion. - 60
Empire
The dialogue and storyline are both a little on the clunky side, but the action excels. - 60
New York Magazine (Vulture)
It’s campier than its predecessor, but its gung ho union of black, white, and Asian gangs against reactionaries who’d destroy them is a virtuosic assertion of punky Parisian multiculturalism. - 60
Time Out
Somewhat underwhelming sequel. - 58
The A.V. Club
More of the same, only more. Yet here, “more” means a more needlessly convoluted plot, a more cartoonish parade of ethnic stereotypes, and more leaden political metaphor than viewers can digest.
