Jeu d'évasion: Le tournoi des champions

I enjoyed the first film, was fresh. They didn't really offer anything new here, definitely more budget but that's about all. The first "room" dragged on and overall the rooms were not as inventive as the first film. When the solving of the puzzles involves nonstop changes in direction it loses any interest as it's just from one thing to another. More of a rental than at the movies.

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

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.

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.

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.
