Make no mistake: Escape Room: Tournament of Champions may be fun, it’s also incredibly stupid. The premise makes no sense. The mechanics make no sense. The plot makes no sense. Look elsewhere for storytelling sanity. Look here if you want to see confident, creepy absurdity, with a ghoulish imagination and showmanship to spare. Read full review

Human error—or uncertainty—is the biggest source of tension in this movie, and it goes a long way towards making this sequel (a little) more than the sum of its flashy parts. You may not need another Escape Room, but this new one is good enough to leave you wanting more. Read full review

At only 88 minutes, Tournament Of Champions is a super-quick shot of adrenaline – too short to grow boring, yet meaty enough to feel like value for money. Read full review

The sequel abandons clever mysteries in favor of more straightforward action-horror, losing some of what made the original special in the process. Read full review

Sequels have a lot to prove by default, and by default I try to give them a bit more leniency. But there’s not much merit in the way Escape Room: Tournament of Champions skirts around the series’ rules and bends them out of shape, only to discard them when they matter most: In the script and story.

Slickly produced but seriously stupid, Tournament Of Champions won’t exactly have you running for the exits — but your brain cells might not escape the room intact. Read full review

The best thing about the Escape Room film series is that it gives audience members clear directions in the title about what they should immediately do: Escape. Room. Get out of that theater and go see Black Widow instead. Run for your lives — and sanity! Read full review

The first Escape Room film was an out of left field surprise when I caught it in theaters, one of the better original PG-13 thriller of recent years, and, initially, it's ending teaser for a sequel bummed me out.

I'm glad to report the follow up, ESCAPE ROOM: TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS, is a fun distraction for an afternoon that is a elevated by it's wacky escape room ideas. The acting on display is of quality performances for the B-movie that it is, and the writing isn't fantastic but nothing to complain about. All in all, I enjoyed this one about as much as the last one, and, honestly, will definitely be watching the third one, though I admit it was taxing it's milage with this second one.… Expand

Me pareció más entretenida que la primera, hay más ingenio en el diseño y mecánicas de los cuartos, de ahí no hay nada más que decir

This is lowkey becoming my guilty pleasure franchise. It’s a PG-13 Saw with bad acting and insane plots, but the puzzles are fun. If you know what you’re walking into there are worse ways to spend 90 minutes.

Escape Room 2, é melhor que o primeiro so nas escape rooms, um final e roteiro mal escrito e personagens que morrem e não fazem falta.

While the first film was tolerable fun, This second film is just garbage. The plot is simple, rushed, and takes yet another convoluted turn at the end. The forgettable characters, lack of character development in general, and weak cast bring this film down even further.
