Meh.
Immortal people work together to do things, and there's a new one, but there's also BAD PEOPLE.
Meh.
Ends how you think, with something that you probably saw coming, too.

81%/71% seems generous. I'd give it a solid Meh.

I saw this weeks ago and forgot to review it.
I found it to be way, way, way, way, way, way too long, predictable, and a bit convoluted.
Gordon will enjoy that the "good guy team" has all the required rainbow components (gay, black, strong female lead, Asian, and so on.)
The movie overall felt like a blockbuster movie initially, then a made-for-TV movie, and finally like it was all a setup for a new TV show.
I agree with "meh".

At least they reloaded their weapons... A lot.

I have no recollection of ever seeing the original, couldn't tell you anyone in it or what it was about.
Just clicked your link to the original and sequel and still have no recollection of anything about it.
There are too many movies being made now, and worse, too many bad ones being made.

My wife brought this up, wondering if it was any good. It took me a solid minute to remember I had seen it. Then I came here to check my review. Meh feels forgettable.
