Escape Plan 2 was actually good. The score was one long, perfect John Carpenter impression and I loved it. The plot was completely predictable, the acting more restrained than camp but they made up for it with copious one-liners that had to be written by children for a competition.
I don't know why a critic would review it so badly, it's more fun than the original and it's basically a sci-fi film that embraces cliches and macho stereotypes.
It's ham and cheese and I can always go for that.
