The highly anticipated sequel "Nobody 2," starring Bob Odenkirk, has hit theaters with a 78% positive rating from critics, a noticeable dip from the original’s 84%.
Released as a follow-up to the 2021 action hit, the film has garnered a generally favorable reception but struggles under the weight of comparisons to its predecessor.
Critics have been quick to point out its shortcomings, with many labeling it a sequel that "nobody asked for." The intensity that defined the first film seems to have faded, replaced by a sense that "Nobody 2" fails to bring anything new to the table.
Reviews frequently describe it as "primitive and monotonous," suggesting a lack of the fresh energy that made the original stand out. While Odenkirk’s action prowess remains a highlight, the consensus is that the sequel doesn’t match the original’s spark or innovation.

This drop in critical acclaim raises questions about whether the franchise can sustain its momentum. Fans of the first film’s gritty charm might find the sequel entertaining, but the lack of originality and intensity leaves many wondering if this is a case of a good idea stretched too thin. As the action genre evolves, "Nobody 2" serves as a reminder that sequels often face an uphill battle to justify their existence.
