“Beyond a few chuckle-worthy one-liners and some amusing visual comedy, there’s not much to engage adults, although the wee ones should be distracted enough. ” — The Hollywood Reporter -Justin Lowe

“At least 90 percent of the sequel seems to be filmed in gloomy basements, darkness and torture chambers.” —SF Chronicle -Peter Hartlaub
