Total Film - Tony Horkins | Screenrush Barometer:  |

'Reilly's terrific as the bloodsucker who's lost his zest for death, and there's further quality from supporting freaks Ken Watanabe, Willem Dafoe and bearded lady Salma Hayek.' |
|
Empire - Annie Errigo | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'A talented ensemble helps this pull through despite a leaden lead, but it may still seem too childish for adults and too adult for kids.' |
|
Time Out - Tom Huddleston | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'It's very energetic, but a more relaxed sequel, in which everyone has fun, might be a big improvement.' |
|

|
'the film can never quite make up its mind whether it's about the circus or the vampires and ends up a mess of its own making' |
|
The Independent on Sunday - Nicholas Barber | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'watching the film is a bit like listening to the rules of football and then being sent back to the changing room before kick-off' |
|
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Another week, another tale of adolescent blood-sucking, neck-chomping folk.' |

|
The Sun - The Sneak | Screenrush Barometer: |

Little White Lies - Adam Woodward | Screenrush Barometer: |
|

|
The Independent - Toby Young | Screenrush Barometer: |
