What critics said
Critics broadly regarded the sequel as a severe drop in quality, citing weak comedy, poor execution, and the absence or marginalization of the original cast.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers

The film continues the earlier property but features few returning original cast members and introduces new characters around the title hero.
Undercover operations, agents, and military characters are framed through exaggerated action-comedy conventions.
