Reviews
Punk's Dead: SLC Punk 2 received mixed to negative reviews from critics, reflected in its low IMDb rating of 4.6/10. Some reviewers appreciated the effort to revisit the punk ethos and the continuation of Stevo's story through his son, noting moments of heartfelt emotion and legacy exploration. However, many critics felt the sequel lacked the original's impactful energy and sharp satire, describing it as a pale shadow of the 1998 film. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a comprehensive score, indicating limited critic reviews, but user ratings mirror the divided opinions. Metacritic also lacks major critic consensus, suggesting the film flew under the radar critically. Common criticisms include a disorganized plot and failure to capture the authentic spirit of the original, while positive notes highlight earnest performances and episodic nostalgia. Overall, fans of the first film might find value in the continuation, but newcomers or casual viewers may struggle with the sequel's uneven tone and execution.
