Terrible movie it is all over the place and I couldn't keep up with it. The first movie Escape Plan was good but this one is awful not worth watching.

Your ordinary non-theatrical action flick with questionable impulses from refused notetaking for a slightly-hooked, downplaying, formulaically predictable mindset in favor for tech-savvy macho self-contradicting its strategic play, despite characterized performative intrigue. (B-)

You can tell it’s bad pretty quick. Fun for the background… kind of. The tech stuff is over the top

🍀 0.3/10 Jesus Christ i’m going to fucking commit a crime after wasting an hour and a half for nothing. Cinemas art, arts cinema, right yeah OK explain this. I’m sorry I can’t understand why anybody would find enjoyment out of this it feels like getting your nut getting sucked off by a vacuum, but instead it sucks your whole entire dick off and you die from shock and blood loss. I don’t think I’m OK after watching this film. I feel like nothing has been accomplished. I feel as if I torture myself, but for what purpose?. do I just sit here consuming nothing for the sake of hatred?. do I wanna be a hater for the purpose of passion…? yes.

Thought maybe the sequel would have had the previous failure to learn from and improve. Nope. Dismal lighting and camera work with a convoluted contrived story line. No suspense - only the confusion of wondering "surely this can get better"?

I think my brain turned into mush watching this.

While 2013's Escape Plan was no masterpiece, it did tap into the dumb-fun action movie vibe of the two leads' heyday. The film was a simple and entertaining enough B-grade actioner with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger making a good team. Although it's likely that most missed it, 2018 saw the release of sequel Escape Plan 2: Hades starring Sylvester Stallone and Dave Bautista. The film went straight to DVD in the US and yet, despite it being a flop overall, a third installment is still currently in the works. The plot sees some of Ray Breslin's (Stallone) new recruits get kidnapped and thrown into Hades, a maximum security prison not unlike The Tomb from the last movie except it's always moving and shifting, making its layout hard to figure out, and some of the staff are actual robots. Yes. Robots. Breslin attempts, with the help of his hacker friend Hush (50 Cent), former associate Trent (Dave Bautista) and others, to break his team out of Hades while Breslin's protégé Shu Ren (Huang Xiaoming), one of the prisoners, tries to understand the prison's inner workings. Eventually, everyone finds themselves in Hades and the real "escape plan" is finally put into motion. Escape Plan's premise should have been an easy one to bank on in continuing sequels. Essentially, you could have just had Breslin tackle different types of prisons with the help of Schwarzenegger or other big name co-stars with a new hammy, villainous warden every time. Somehow, however, Hades is a convoluted mess and neither Stallone or Bautista get much screen time. Both really come into play in the film's last third and, until that point, we're mostly spending time with Shu Ren and other new, far less charismatic and entertaining leads. This movie feels more like the fourth or fifth movie in a tired franchise than it does a straight-up sequel. The plot never really takes off, the new characters are dull, the writing is terrible, the twists are uninspired and the film ends abruptly, without any real ending. While Bautista, when he's actually in the movie, is likable, the cinematography is at least competent and the prison's concept is appealing, this is all frankly half-assed. What could have been a light-hearted and fun sequel turns out to be a surprisingly miserable experience that should alienate both newcomers and fans of the original. In the same way that The Expendables ran out of steam with its third film, this one completely deflates after just one movie. Awful.

The title is a 'plan', but it is meaningless.

I like the storyline better in part one. The only reason I rated part two better is only because there's fight scenes throughout the entire movie.

It's not as bad as other reviews say. It was entertaining. Some good fight scenes. Good tech. I've seen a lot worse. It's much more deserving than the low 8% on this movie sure for sure.

The most sleep inducing borefest.

The first film is under-rated. The sequels have no reason to exist. Where there’s more screen time for tv show actors, than Stallone or Bautista.

a half baked under budget nonsense which is almost unrelated to the original. the plot does not make any sense , PS2 level of CGI , bad editing, i guess the whole project was put to action by 2 separated teams who had no idea what the hell was the other team doing. this is a disgrace to the original. i feel i lost e few IQ points just by watching this.

It's like a downward spiral all along going from bad to worse to terrible every second. It's like taking a piece from 8000 puzzle boxes and dumping them together to sell one. It's like a badly made goulash that would make Gordon Ramsey puke. It's like a freight train wreck carrying a dude missile. It's makes my favorite popcorn taste bad. It's like taking a Van Gogh painting and defacing it increasingly worse unless only final remaining missing piece is a Michael Bay touch. It's what Ramses II would do after he time traveled to medieval England and stole a bluenprint of a drawn and quartering Catherine wheel and implemented back home. It's what aliens have on a bad trip. It's like a frill-necked lizard with an ear growing out of it's body. It is so botched it actually looks like a Kirchner painting. At my death bed, I would be ruing and reminiscing that only if I had put this 90 odd minutes to doing something I love!

DO NOT WASTE TIME WATCHING THIS. B movie all the way

Once Upon a Time, The demigods came to Pan and they yelled "Come OM! Hades is such a prick!" to which Pan replied, "Of course he's a prick! All worms wear my magic wand on their outsides!" but the demigods were very upset. So, Pan fell inside her own darkness once again to investigate what had happened when her beloved head worm Hades took over while she was away having a very long and much needed nap. Hades told Pan her demigod kids were overreacting. He had come up with a perfect system of organization, motivation, and a great illusion called "security", which gave purpose and hope to all the children instead of letting them mindlessly churn in delusional creativity which was her destructive vice. Didn't she want her kids to be productive and happy? Pan agreed to monitor the children to see if what Hades said was true, and she did witness all kinds of bad childish behavior, and ultimately understood why Hades chose the punishments he did, as he even put a mirror up to Pan to show her when she too deserved such criticism. Pan agreed Hades wasn't evil, but his system of organization caused too much suffering, so she put a spell on the planet to relieve his slaves and let her nature reorganize according to more immaterial planes...like clouds. Of course Hades was very scared that Pan wanted to move her children into immaterial realms he couldn't control and whined "My whole Pyramid scheme will collapse!" as he had control over the rich. Pan assured him "My spell allows for a very smooth transition of power. Once everyone experiences this new way of living my beloved Hades, you will have much more time to pay attention to your pain-tings and our children will live to share their art with one another which will allow them to enjoy constant transformation." Pan kissed Hades and left a love note for the kids "Don't be jerks, but do enjoy my dark seas. Also, Hades and I agree the Government will be sending out tax bills or withholding and won't mire you with paperwork when they don't have the staffing to handle such antiquated ways of organization. You probably think I wasn't interested in such boring affairs when crafting my future spells, but, you were never supposed to kill Time with paperwork, a huge mistake there. Lots of Love, Pan."

There was way too sci Fi and cgi for me. It was like a far cry from the 1st movie.

don't waste ur time. i love stallone but that was bad

Give me a break with the nonsense ratings. Stallone's Escape Plan and Expendables series are some of the most straight up and refreshing action films of 30 years... consistent quality, scripts, acting, casting (superb), and production values. Beats most movies out there including inconsistent and often terrible Statham and others' films. Get a grip. Solid. Escape Plan Hades I'd pay to see 5 more in the series.

Geez its quite clever
