"BG II does exactly what you want out of a quality box office sequel. It allowed things to get bigger, but without losing the character development of the first entry." - Mark Rawls, Seattle Times

"The comedy and the action are both ramped up in this one. All of the talent involved seems more comfortable with the tone this time around." - Ben Bernard, New York Times


"While not quite as good as the first Booster Gold, this one is still a solid superhero film (that is quite a bit funnier than the first one). I really missed out on some of the time travel and fish out of water elements that were more prevalent in the the first entry." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune
