Reaction: Long gaps between films in a series can always result in some odd box office data. For this one, the domestic box office gross was about the same as the first film, but the foreign box office was much higher. It could be because the main characters increased their exposure by appearing in Justice League International, and it could also be that the story was simply easier to translate to overseas audiences than the first film.
"Similar to Silver Surfer: The Power Cosmic, this long-awaited sequel is a completely different beast at a tonal level than the film that preceeded it. The first film was much more simplistic with its plot and characters, while this film dials up both areas in a big way." - Tom Lane, Detroit News
"Hawkworld runs the gamut. There are sequences that are fun and exciting, but other scenes bring the momentum to a screeching halt. I feel like the filmmakers were trying for a Thor: Ragnarok/Guardians of the Galaxy type of vibe with this sequel, but it's too inconsistent to fully pull off the effort." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"I liked the first Hawkman movie, but Hawkworld is a much more fun movie. It delivers more humor and bigger action with higher stakes. There is also much more of an ensemble cast this time around, with the film peppered with fun characters throughout." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
