It's a hell of a ride... the action sequences are superlative... a great deal of brash, ballistic fun

Fantastic
I have only seen most of the film and looking forward to being able to see the whole movie but from what I did see its fantastic, however not as good or gribbing as the first film but this does have a lot more action and easyer to understand.
If you love war films and action films than this is for you. -

Pro-American rubbish for idiots
I'l start by saying Behind Enemy Lines was a good film. If a little unrealistic in parts (like the ending and how he somehow manages to run in a streight line and avoid getting shot from at least 50 troops/vehicles), it was an alround good film. Good plot, acting was alright and pretty gripping.
Behind Enemy Lines 2: Axis of Evil, beside the terrible title, is dire.
The acting is poor. A few mildly-famous faces (such as the guy who plays Aaron Pierce in 24), but generally poor acting from the entire cast.
The plot is stupid, and odviously made for the idiots who didn't understand the first film. It's unoriginal, boring and stupid.
It's full of stupid 'trying-too-be-arty-and-cool' effects. All this 'trendy' fading, juttering camera just looks like the director is trying to pass of this cheaply made movie into some kind of Hollywood blockbuster. Just a Ridly/Tony Scott wannabe here.
It's full of stereoptypes. Come on, how many can you pack into a film? This is particularly said for the representation of the South and North Korean soldiers.
It's just boring. Yeah, it's full of action scenes. But they are just dull standard run-of-the-mill scenes....yawn!
Overall pretty terrible. It's not gripping, it dosen't keep you on the edge of your seat like the original. I was on the edge of my seat for the ending so I could turn it off. -

A watchable
Make no mistake about it, there is nothing in common with the original film apart from the title. None of the characters return - this is essentially a new film. Having said that it was very watchable. The story line is believeable and there is an element of suspense. The acting is alright but the plot slightly predictable as with most films.
Not nearly as good as the original 'Behind Enemy Lines', but if you watch this film not thinking about the original then its a good little film. The only thing that leaves a little to be desired is the special effects. Apart from that i was very much entertained by this film. -

rubbish
This film was obviously made by an over zealous director who wanted to try out all his camera efffects in movie. The constantly shaking screen effect I found particually anouying, and made the film impossible to watch without getting a migraine.

Behind Enemy Lines 2 (2006)
Daft and silly. The action scenes in this movie are so poorly staged and put together that you will find yourself laughing and thinking how ridiculous. I'm suprized the excellent actors Keith David and Peter Coyote involved themselves in such a poor project.

Very Good
This Film was 100 time better than i expected. it has no link to the 1st but still a good action movie. When the film Starts you see the Navy Seal team and you cant help but think, 'Not another American glory film'. however the film turned out to be realistic, with a good story line and overall a good movie to watch.
