Reviews

Los Angeles Times -
Young Guns II generates more sheer visual excitement than any Western since Peckinpah and Leone were in their last '70s prime.
|
|
Empire -
An affectionate and entertaining tribute to the Western - but, Estevez aside, Young Guns II doesn't exactly add much to the old genre.
|
|
Variety -
Although it's more ambitious than most sequels, Young Guns II exhausts its most inspired moment during the opening credits and fades into a copy of its 1988 predecessor - a slick, glossy MTV-style western.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The screenplay feels unfinished, the direction is ambling, but the performances are interesting.
|
|
The New York Times -
Young Guns II concentrates principally on the drawing power of the post-adolescent heartthrobs in its cast. This approach has its appeal in limited doses, but it makes for a western that's smaller than life.
