Escape Room: Tournament of Champions Reviews
More confident (and fun!) than the first film, but go with the Extended Cut over the Theatrical Cut, as it offers a more satisfying viewing experience.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 18, 2023
If you’re looking for a good story, compelling characters, or any reason to care, then you’re probably not going to find it here.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022
It may not be gourmet cinema, but no cinematic diet is complete without at least a little junk food. And maybe it's the year away from cinemas talking, but Escape Room: Tournament of Champions is the tastiest cinematic junk food in quite a while.
| Original Score: 7/10 | May 10, 2022
In all honesty, the novelty of this premise has already worn off, but the movie never quite becomes the dull dud it should be.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 5, 2022
It's all rather banal stuff built around the idea of killing people in neat ways, and it might even be enjoyable if the filmmakers cared more about storytelling than concocting cool death rooms.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 12, 2022
Escape Room: Tournament of Champions is entertaining, albeit flawed.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 12, 2022
The cast is more likeable than the group from the first film and the new rooms...are exciting and ambitious. While the resolution of both versions come down to Zoey, the Extended Cut establishes a more exciting new direction for future sequels
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 25, 2021
No Empire Strikes Back, but the rare sequel that is better than the original.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2021
Shameless and sincere summer entertainment. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2021
This film largely succeeds, and part of the enjoyment is figuring out what each room will entail. Robitel leaves things open for the series itself to continue trapping Taylor Russell in rooms, and honestly good for her.
| Original Score: B- | Oct 13, 2021
There is perhaps more output here than in the first film. [Full review in Spanish]

[A] fantastic sequel. [Full review in Spash]
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 9, 2021
...a perpetually erratic endeavor that's often as tedious as it is entertaining...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 8, 2021
It's mindless summer movie fun, and there are definitely worse ways to spend an hour and a half. Enjoy the AC, eat your popcorn, root for Zoey and company, and turn off your brain.

While the first movie focused on characters reacting to the horrors around them, this one is mostly just those same characters yelling leaden exposition at each other.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2021
Escape Room ToT gives us a rushed, frantic, cookie cutter horror fantasy with very little in the way of character building and imagination.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 28, 2021
A little too much repeat of the original.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 26, 2021
Escape Room: Tournament of Champions isn't exactly victorious, but it doesn't lose the game, either.
| Original Score: 2.4/4 | Jul 26, 2021
Despite a slightly too-familiar plot arc, this scant sequel nonetheless offers some cool, intricately designed puzzles and likable enough characters to create a satisfying punch of white-knuckle fun.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2021
Do you really care if the cast and crew is turning in Oscar-worthy work, or do you just want to see somebody get sucked alive into a pit of quicksand?
