Pointless, boring, and lacks originality and magic.

All of the blood from this would-be franchise was left on the ice last time, and each successive punch lands with less and less of an impact.

Beyond a few new faces that briefly enliven the mood, Goon: Last of the Enforcers loses sight of the characters that made the first movie so engaging.

Goon: Last of the Enforcers isn't much of a film, but thanks to its star it's not a complete waste of time.

It has its hero confront the challenges of being over the hill -- an awkward theme for a movie that itself comes across as a weary, backward-looking project for Seann William Scott and the actor-director Jay Baruchel.

The movie makes the most of what it has, which, as it turns out, isn't an awful lot.

... retains only a fraction of the crude charm and offbeat originality of its predecessor.

Nobody lands the one knockout punchline to elevate matters above tolerable mediocrity.

Tedious and ultra-violent.

The few bright spots in this horribly violent sequel come from Liev Schreiber's return as grizzled veteran Ross Rhea. His warm, world-weary performance belongs in a much better film.

It's a flawed feature, and many, if not most of the jokes don't land, which is somewhat detrimental given the fact this is a comedy.

Hockey farce with some laughs, lots of cursing and violence.

Earnest intentions may be behind this bawdy yet heartfelt sport-quel, but it's a largely unnecessary rematch.

This sequel fails to score the hoped-for goal...when Doug Glatt hangs up his skates again as it ends, one can only hope that this time it's for good.

Like most comedy sequels, it assumes audiences want a louder and more outrageous version of what they enjoyed last time. And like most comedy sequels, it's pretty lousy.

Goon: Last of the Enforcers often feels far more like a stock sports film than its predecessor, and that's what ultimately turns it into a highly underwhelming follow-up.

In addition to regurgitating parts of Goon, Goon: Last of the Enforcers pilfers liberally from Rocky 3 and Rocky 4.

A movie that lacks the energy, wit and heart of its predecessor and is the kind of project that probably never should have happened.

"Goon" was a keeper. The perhaps prophetically named "Last" isn't exactly 101 minutes in the penalty box, but it's a disappointing throwaway.
