Fun, but retread the beats of the first movie and not as good. Cage is the only really draw in this movie for sure…

No better than the first – which means it will probably be creamed by critics and make a jillion dollars. But really, standards are standards…

Perversely restrained given the subject matter, and huge props to Jodie Foster for her standout performance but ultimately a fairly uninspiring film…

The movie brings no new material to the screen and banks on the fact that its underage audience has an unschooled memory…

Pretty poor excuse for a film, The lovely Emily Blunt tries her best to save it, but unfortunately she fails…

Sherlock Holmes fighting Nazis! Sound great! It's not…
