"This one felt like a comic book, but not always a good comic book. We got some fun, colorful action, but we also got some stiff performances and were stuck with a couple less than enjoyable characters." - Ben Bernard, New York Times
"Let's face it, people go to these movies for the action and the spectacle, not the small character moments or dialogue. The action in this one is certainly impressive, especially during the climax, so I'd call that a success." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"I enjoyed the film, but having the two characters (and actors) with arguably the most name recognition relegated to cameos was probably a mistake. That left Joel Edgerton with a lot of heavy-lifting to do as the defacto star. Thankfully he is once again very entertaining as the Russian with the robot suit." - Tony Klesko, San Diego Union-Tribune
