it was cute for what it was but it didnt require a sequel. i mean honestly, how? it worked best as a stand-alone story

I always thought the same about Zeta Jones, the perfect Wonder Woman. and she can still do it.

I was not a fan of the first 'Red', It was alright.. I blame the music from the film.

I'm intrigued because this is directed by the man behind 'galaxy quest' tho

DC blew it when Joss Wanted to re-do Wonder Woman and they turned him down.

@AUSSYACE - 10 years ago CZJ, even though HOT was still to old to play Wonder Woman, sorry :(

Wait, no Bryan Cox in this one?

The first one was an average, fungible movie. It was good for free on Showtime and I anticipate going the same way with the sequel.

ZETA JONES IS A HOT WOMAN

It was a long time since she was in a new movie, but Im looking forward to this. CZJ is amazing!

I saw the first movie, well it was ok but it was not that good, I hope this will be much better!

Wow - I wasnt really fussed about RED2 as (like others here have said) the first is a fairly stand-alone flick. I was of the opinion that if they made a sequel I'd probably watch it sometime somehow but the addition of Zeta-Jones to the cast has slapped the lid on the coffin and hammered ALL the nails in at once.
She is dire...

I'm out thank you very much.

All I care about is if Karl Urban is a part of the cast. I read an article - the one about him selling his house - that mentioned he would be. Can anyone confirm that? His "F- you, Cynthia" was the best bart of the first movie!

Hmm, isn't the original comic book series just a one-shot miniseries, that kind of thing? It just seems odd to me that people keep on doing all these unnecessary sequels stuff. Zeta-Jones and Hun Lee should be interesting additions, though, while I personally think the first movie wasn't great, but quite a good fun nonetheless. So, we'll see...if I have enough interest to follow the stories about this movie.

Yeah man Karl was the man in that film and that F***you Cynthia just made it for me as well.

Saying that, i really liked Red.
