Note this movie has 2 versions, one is the cinema version called the "theatrical cut" and is 1h 28m and more common to find, and the other is called the "extended cut" and is 1h 36m. Despite the misleading titles, the extended cut is NOT just the same movie with a few extra scenes. It's a very different movie where the beginning and the end tell a complete different story with complete different characters, while only the middle part of the two versions is identical. I think many people are not aware of the two very different versions telling a different story, and my guess is that majority of the really low rates are coming from peope who watched the theatrical version. This is a spoiler free review to tell you the differences between them without revealing the actual story of each.

To identify which one you are watching, note the theatrical one is the one starting with a therapy session, while the extended one is the one starting with a 2003 flashback.

Neither of these versions is too great, none of them is as good as the first Escape Room movie. But still, the extended cut version is BY FAR better story wise.

The extended cut develops the main story behind the rooms and kinda moves the story forward. The twist in the end is just slightly predicatble (seen it in a few other movies so it's not original) and not fully baked but is still kinda nice, the idea behind it is just better than the other version, and the movie is not a total waste of time and is still enjoyable even if it isn't a masterpiece. The overall movie there is 6 out of 10 in my opinion.

The theatrical cut however is a complete different story, and in my opinion is more like 2 out of 10. The story there feels lazy in a way, it is sort of a repeat of the first Escape Room movie (just not nearly as good) because you learn pretty much nothing at all about the universe of the movies. You don't get any background details about anything. There is a so called "twist" in the end but it's pretty much nothing and you can see it coming from miles away. This one in my opinion is a total waste of time.

After watching both versions, I am very confused on why they picked the theatrical one to be the official version. It feels like they filmed the extended one first, didn't fully like what it implies about possible future movies, and tried to replace it with some rushed things without having to refilm the whole game, so they found quick "solutions" to still use the same middle part, and it really shows. The whole "Sonia" part is what gives it away in my opinion as it was solved in a very lazy way in the theatrical cut and didn't make any sense, you could tell it was just an excuse to reuse the same already-filmed parts. It is clear that the extended one is what the movie originally intended to be. That also explains why they delayed the release of that movie by a long time and filmed more scenes after over a year of break.

As for the middle part that is shared between both of the versions - it is nice but just not very sophisticated. They are kinda rushing the game as if they are in a race and it doesn't leave enough time for the puzzles to be clever in any way. You don't get to explore anything with the characters, they just randomly understand all of the solutions quickly and explain them to you. Due to how rushed it is, you also don't get to learn the back story or the personality of any of the characters playing the game, other than the ones you already know from the first movie. The rest of the players are just fillers with no story that are just there as decorations, they could all be one person or not be there at all and it wouldn't make a difference. It is nice to pass time but nothing close to the game rooms in the first movie, and honestly there are so many alternative similar movies and TV programs in this style with game rooms and traps, that in comparison to them, this one just isn't good.

In conclusion - If you can only watch one version, I highly recommend you pick the extended one. If you plan to watch both versions, I suggest starting with the extended one first for the better experience, and only then watching the theatrical one. If you are watching a second version and you want to skip the parts that are identical between the movies, the shared part starts when they get to the train station, and ends with the yellow cab scene (start watching slightly before that scene ends). Everything in between those parts is identical in both versions and is safe to skip if you've already watched one of them.

I have to admit, I enjoyed the first one more than perhaps I should have, maybe not the most original film, but well acted, well made, and not without thrills and spills, I can understand, commercially, why this second film was made.

It was good to see one or two of the cast from the first film assembled here, the trouble is, that the new characters are wafer thin, we know nothing about them, we learn next to nothing of them, and ultimately it's hard to care about the fate of any of them.

I thought the acting was decent, and the special effects were rather good, I liked how crazy some of the situations were, they tried hard to make the challenges bigger and bolder than in the first, personally, I preferred those fron the original.

I hope they don't make a third, this second wasn't needed. Don't get me wrong, it's not actually a bad film, but there's nothing memorable, there's just something a little cynical about the need to have got this one made, 5/10.

I'm bit disappointed. It is tournament of champions but stil the champions are doing nothing but stupidity. I think, I was expecting some more puzzles. In this movie, the puzzles are so easy and rushed,sadly. I coundn't concentrate on this movie because of this reason.

However,I like the ending much so I'm giving it 7.

If you loved the first one you should watch this, but don't let yourself be disappointed, it is not as good as the first. The writing/story is way more far fetched and unbelievable, the writers seem to be going off the deep end. The acting isn't as good and feels more forced and also cliche, but this again would be also due to poor writing. But also the movie doesn't look as good as the first one because they are using bad CGI that is low def. So I just wanted to let you know what kinds of things might be a let down for you if you really loved the first one like I did. But I still think its worth a watch and not a bad film.

This one is not at par with its predecessor but still a good thriller.

I enjoyed the first part n it has some cool traps, cool settings n the cinematography is top notch.

I saw both the versions n loved the extended one cos it has more background story n a good conclusion.

Ther is a big difference between the two versions: different opening and ending, differences in the story and characters featured, one character is completely absent in the extended version, while two new characters appear as key characters in the extended version.

The fate of the priest was predictable.

I knew it that he will be shown as a selfless guy and his fate will be via a selfless act.

Holland Roden looked attractive with her eye makeup n coincidentally she starred in Follow Me aka No Escape, a bit similar take on the escape room genre but with a solid twist.

This is a direct sequel to the surprisingly successful 2019 movie (which I personally liked), so you should really watch that one first if you haven't already. However, the 2nd Escape Room is shorter and has a much faster pacing than the first one, but most importantly everything is just so chaotic and messy all around. The first Room in the original movie was one of the movie's best scenes, as it slowly built up the atmosphere and gave both the characters and the audience enough time to think, whereas the first "Room" in this one is just ridiculous, with everything happening way too quickly and all the characters screaming in such an annoying way. Also, all the deaths are absurdly elaborate, involving some fantastical contraptions that look like they came out of an unusually stupid episode of the original Star Trek series; but this was probably done because more realistic and explicit death scenes would restrict the film's access to younger audiences. Anyhow, the whole movie is pretty much just a set up for the final plot twist, and without spoiling anything I'll just say that the twist is just preposterously unexpected and will leave many viewers scratching their heads out of bafflement as it just raises many new questions. I would recommend the "Tournament" only to those fans of the original who don't have high expectations from the sequel.

You feel like TikTok videos are too long and you wanna see a movie where a bunch of people constantly scream and point at things while no scene lasts longer than 2 seconds? Look no further, cause Escape Room 2 will be your movie of the year!

Horrible dialogues, horrible directing, no tension, no chance of immersion, no creativity and basically everything what can go wrong in a movie will be found here.

I remember I enjoyed watching the first Escape room, and even rated it with seven stars what in my standards means that I would watch it again, but this sequel isn't good at all. I was annoyed during the entire movie, yawned a lot, and found the storyline very boring to follow. They solve all the puzzles in like thirty seconds, a lot of running around like headless chickens, going from one unrealistic escape room to another. The acting wasn't great either, all looked very unreal. If there's going to be another Escape Room, most likely, it will be without me watching it the next time. I'm done with it.

I highly recommend watching the extended cut as it is so much better than the theatrical version. A better twist and better plot story.

It wasn't a waste of time but, on the other hand, it wasn't great. There was a little suspense with an expected ending.

This film is still intense, but has less rooms than the first film. It's adequately thrilling.

RATED 7/10 Language: English

Nice sequel and made this as good origin story... The problem of the movie is that the puzzles are more mathematics than entertaining one... If the puzzles are bit more intriguing and simple this could have been more enjoyable.

Yeah, there is survival thrill in this one too, but story was less engaging.

Just a time pass movie, you can watch it if you have free time.

One of the most colossally stupid, inconsistent screenplays I've seen put to the big screen.

The first film wasn't good, but at least it had some attempts at compelling themes and interesting characters. This movie has nothing but absurdity and an underwhelming story to offer.

Action packed. The set pieces were amazing, and definitely more complex and challenging than the first film but the characters weren't as fleshed out enough or showed as much growth as they could have. It was an awesome ride throughout the whole time.

I actually had fun watching this. Its supposed to be just a straightforward thriller movie.

One hour and a half of madness. This movie is shorter than recent ones coming out. It's filled with action and excitement.

It doesn't waste much time getting started, don't want to wast time getting to know new characters like we did in the last one.

In my opinion the new rooms weren't as cool as the ones in the last movie but it tries to change stuff up.

The ending was great, it left you in a bit of a shock, combined with the awesome soundtrack, you just kinda wanna sit there and watch the full credits.

As said I thought the soundtrack was pretty good, although they recycle the main theme throughout.

All in all it was a pretty good movie, deserving of a watch! Enjoy.

Interesting premise. Fun escape rooms and sets. What happened with this script.

I have never been so offended as an audience to be treated like I am too stupid to understand what I'm watching happen - so because I'm a stupid audience member I need to have what I'm watched explained at literally ever possible moment.

Who thought literally any of the dialogue was necessary OR that these performances were acceptable. And some of these actors are really great in other work.

I don't understand how a studio thought this script that took 4 people to write was anything close to ready to be a movie.
