criticism
“In the forerunner, wrestling star John Cena made his film debut. Here colleague Ted DiBiase Jr. beats and shoots his way through an action riot for the first time - similarly clumsy and wooden, but with cleanly choreographed fights. Conclusion: mindless macho, who definitely entertains. "
At Moviesection , Thomas Ays awards four out of five possible stars and says: “'The Marine 2' has become an action flick that is well worth seeing and has lots of explosions, a dreamlike backdrop and little pathos to offer. Anyone who can overlook the 'I am a Marine, I can do anything!' Dialogues will be well served with this second part of the series. "
Julio Sacchi from Movie-Pilot is also quite impressed and writes: “The big win and also the only reason for the surprisingly high quality of 'The Marine 2' is director Roel Reiné. […] It is abundantly clear from the very first scenes that an expert is sitting here in a folding chair; At the latest when the plot changes to the South Seas, it is clear that not only an unusually hearty budget has been approved, but also a filmmaker has the right to bring it to the screen in the best possible way. "
Björn Becher von Filmstarts awards three out of five possible stars and says: “Of course the [film] does not offer an imaginative story, but it is damn entertaining, offers plenty of action and, in the right mood, is a real celebration for fans of trashy entertainment and the (un -) voluntary humor. "
At Actionfreunde.de, McClane judges somewhat cautiously: “'The Marine 2' is commercially available B-Action food, which unfortunately lacks the relaxed, ironic tone of its predecessor and which Robert Patrick's villainous performance is missing. Thanks to a lot of rough action, fantastic camera work and the surprisingly good Ted DiBiase Jr., however, 'The Marine 2' is also entertaining genre entertainment that is still missing a piece of the genre highlight. "
