Thought this was very meh. I don't even remember the first one well but very much a by the numbers unnecessary sequel where it seems like Salma Hayek was the only one who brought energy to this.

Salma Hayek is amazing in here and steals the show, Reynolds and Jackson are great as well. Learning from the mistakes of the first one is good but this one doubles down on comedy and forgets that it needs to tell a story instead of just rapid-fire one-liners. There are some really good concepts in the movie which probably helped to get such great set of actors but the execution here is completely stale. There is also a good amount of budget on display which I felt was not really necessary in this. Making Reynolds a hitting gag was nice at first but it gets old after first 10 minutes.
