Errigo finds the sequel likable and amusing, but less funny or surprising than the original. She praises its wickedly silly jokes and especially the comic discovery in a train-station locker.

The review finds the sequel watchable but forced and lacking the original’s wit, invention, and sparkle. Frank the Pug stands out as a lively comic highlight who helps rescue the film.

The critic finds the sequel disposable and cynical, though its brisk pace and gags provide mixed pleasures. He praises the parade of Rick Baker creatures and highlights David Cross’s cameo as especially terrific.

The review suggests the sequel feels dated compared with the original. It singles out the sense that its once-fresh ideas now feel old.

Gonzalez finds the film soulless, dated, and reliant on stale vaudeville spectacle. He singles out its empty characters and outdated jokes as particular weaknesses.

McCarthy finds the sequel sporadically amusing but lightweight, with its humor and attitude unable to sustain interest. He singles out Frank the pug as the film’s funniest presence, while praising the alien designs and visual effects.

Bradshaw finds the sequel soulless and uninspired despite its frenetic action and occasional funny lines. He singles out the lack of interest in the spectacle and says the leads’ chemistry has curdled.

The critic finds the film fun and entertaining, with Will Smith’s performance and the script’s offbeat jokes standing out. The plot surrounding The Light is vague, but the review considers style more important.
