	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The second bottle (...) is as fizzy as the first, but not quite as refreshing. The pleasurable, eye-popping sense of surprise has diminished"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A soulless and uninspired blockbuster in which nothing of very great interest actually happens (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"This is a movie that fans of the original might enjoy in a diluted sort of way, but there is no need for it (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEU

United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"The sequel officially has no surprises left in the bag (...) None of it sticks"	NEG
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"Strange, zany, generally amusing and very likeable without actually being all that hilarious or surprising (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
