- 80Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe craftsmanship that went into the making of this film has to have been formidable, yet a key part of its enjoyment is its throwaway, unpretentious charm.
- 75Boston GlobeJay CarrBoston GlobeJay CarrBrown and Dennehy aren't teen-age, they're not mutants, they're not ninjas, they're not even turtles, but they're just as entertaining the second time around, and of how many sequels can that be said? [10 May 1991, p.30]
- 63Chicago TribuneClifford TerryChicago TribuneClifford TerryFX 2 is entertaining enough, but lacks the zip and wit of the original.
- 60Washington PostRita KempleyWashington PostRita KempleyThe story line is little more than a shiny hat for holding the high-tech rabbits. Still, it's an enjoyable bit of smoke and mirrors, thanks to the decency and resourcefulness of its hero.
- 60EmpireAngie ErrigoEmpireAngie ErrigoIt's all totally farfetched and skates imperturbably over several questions of logic that will spring unbidden to the most accepting mind. But it's entertaining, inconsequential fun.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere should be a special category for movies that are neither good nor bad, but simply excessive.
- 50The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenAs long as it is fixated on gadgetry, FX2 is reasonably entertaining. But when the movie focuses on plot and character, it turns quite dotty in an amiable way.
- 42Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe movie itself is convoluted and almost unbelievably lackluster.
- 40Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovValiantly tries to recapture the spit and polish indie feel of the original, and comes up looking more like something Franklin might have directed on a Bad Day.
