“Grizzly II” never finds a rhythm — not even a giddily camp one.

Grizzly II: Revenge is so bad, it's just bad.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Dopey dialogue and less-than-scrupulous continuity augment the ramshackle vibe of a movie that’s too inept to qualify as camp or cult.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Phillips
It’s a pity Grizzly II: Revenge isn’t giddy-bad, the way Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room” delights so many. But it’s here, it’s seriously disoriented and disorienting.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
Watching this film is a nightmare in all the wrong ways.
Chicago Sun-Times by Richard Roeper
It’s just an awful and ridiculous and clumsily edited B-movie mostly of interest because of the name cast, an insanely horrible concert within the film — and the incredible back story about the making of “Grizzly II,” which could be great material for a fictional adaptation a la “Argo” or “The Big Short” or “American Hustle.”
The whole movie feels like an overlong Kickstarter set up for a The Disaster Artist-like treatment. Honestly, that would provide a far more fascinating story than the pureed plot provided here.
“Grizzly II” never comes close to “so bad its good,” although there are laughs at how bad it actually is, here and there.
