There is a lot of good fight scenes that are very well choreographed mixed in with some comedic elements and witty dialogue. The movie also does a good job or widening its scale whilst staying as relatively grounded as the first one. Oh and Keanu Reeves is as bad ass as he was in the first one Expand

Dispatching the lengthy one-liner, "Oh my God it's Jason Bourne" for the simplistic, "Oh," when a poor sap realizes who is after them, Chapter 2 of this saga is another stylish entry into this newfound action franchise. Dishing out headshots like Oprah Winfrey gives away cars, John Wick: Chapter 2 finds the famed Boogeyman fighting for his life once again. After losing his wife, dog, and car, in the first film, Wick loses his freedom this time around via Italian crime boss Santino D'Antonio (Riccardo Scarmacio). Cashing in a marker given to him by John that let Wick get out of the game the first time around, Santino thrusts him back into the world of assassin work by tasking him to kill Santino's sister, Gianna (Claudia Gerini). Unraveling from there, the world comes crashing down around Wick with Gianna's bodyguards, fellow assassins, and then the entire world all coming down on him by the film's end.

As with the original, John Wick: Chapter 2 has absolutely exquisite action sequences. With a seamless flow and orchestral feeling to the action, the film is a sight for sore eyes. While its love of headshots leaves the film blood soaked, the fight sequences always take center stage. It is like watching a ballet with two equal foes entering in a dance with one another that only one will survive. Former stuntman turned director Chad Stahelski continues to show what makes this franchise so appealing: its gorgeous stunts and fight choreography. For those who do not believe that action can be beautiful and put together in such a fine-tuned and structured fashion that it becomes like a dance with guns and knives, John Wick continues to stand as the perfect counter to that claim. Yet, its choreography is not all that makes the film's action appealing. Utilizing great set pieces - such as the Reflections on Self exhibit in the museum that plays out like a hall of mirrors - there is always some new secret or foe hiding around every corner. They are nuanced, extravagant, and detailed sets that allow Stahelski and his star, Keanu Reeves, to really feel their way around the dance floor and find out what spot on the set is the perfect one for each move. Alongside this, Stahelski's refusal to turn the film into a handheld camera mess continuously rewards the viewer with steady, heavily digital, and incredibly crisp action scenes. The camera certainly moves, to be clear, but it is never jarring. Instead, it is in rhythm with Wick and the action with no frivolous cuts that could disorient or distract from what is taking place. Instead, the fight is given room to breathe and it takes incredibly deep breaths.

Matching the gorgeous visuals of the fight sequences is the color scheme of the film. With its neon backlighting in every sequence, it is hard to deny that John Wick is a truly stylish film. Tossing in a gorgeous usage of blue blended with any number of warm colors, John Wick: Chapter 2 is a truly beautiful film. With the crispness of digital photography matching perfectly with the film's neon aesthetic, the composition of shots and blending of colors in the background make this a film that is littered with eye candy. Together with those aforementioned fight scenes and the film is one with visuals that far exceed the quality of its plot and acting. Whenever the story may slack or a line comes off awkwardly, the film's impeccable use of color always picks it up off of the ground. The framing and composition are similarly top-notch, particularly in the sequence with Gianna. As she lies naked in a tub with the blood from her wrists taking over the water, the camera rises to the ceiling and looks down upon her. In a candle-lit bathroom with blue water and deep red blood all over, Gianna lays with her hands outstretched. It is a powerful scene before this, but with this final image of the bloody but silent carnage left by a visit from John Wick, it really cements itself as a highlight of the film.

Unfortunately, too much of the film is obsessed with reminiscing on the original. While the references to the original are quite limited, the film nonetheless keeps the same plot idea: people are stupid to mess with John Wick. Wherever he goes, his name is met with horror and fear. It is obvious why this is the case, but this was the same situation in the original. Though it is nice to stay consistent to some degree, it would be nice to see the franchise mix it up instead of constantly reminding us he is deadly. In the first film, we needed to know this information. Now, however, it feels purely masturbatory with regard to how great of an assassin Wick is. Going through a plot where literally every person in the world becomes an assassin or knows who Wick is without being told, it does become rather implausible for one, but also feels a bit like a satire.

He isn't a superhero (but he seems), is a regular person & makes you feel that you can be him. lots of action without any cuts, many weapons, hand-to-hand fights, Jujitsu; It's not the typical movie where the bullets are always; people hurts him, It's much more credible than the rest of films of this genre. a Cassian (Common) spin-off could be made, since he follows the same method as John, behaves in the same way; the choreographies are beautiful, the production design is visually exquisite and photography is beautiful. This is La La Land for action movies. I want John Wick 3 now. Expand

We find out that the Continental is more than just a chain of international safe haven hotels but the controllers and distributors of the gold currency system. That when someone receives a marker that they have promised in their blood a hit or I am assuming a huge favor. We finally see the process of having a contract created on a hit and how the message is sent out to all the assassins. It is definitely is more colorful and professional than the film Wanted where hits were crafted in coded cloth from unknown gods. The music in John Wick has been well thought out to deliver power, aggression and action. There was a good balance between knife combat, gun fighting and mix martial arts. The wrestling in the film gave the fight scenes a real rawness and took away the choreograph look. The only thing I would fault is the clarity behind who our villains are. We seem to be given a succession of high leaders from an Italian bloodline but it is unclear of what they actually do and control. I guess the questions have been left to be answered in the next chapter. All I know is I will be there to watch it. Expand

This time the film plays out fairly similar to the first only this time the dog thankfully doesn't die. Keanu Reeves does all of his own stunts the same as the first and it works brilliantly. There's no shaky cam or episodes during fight scenes where the camera is jerking around everywhere so you can really admire the incredible amount of effort that Keanu put into making this film. One more thing I really enjoyed about this is that this time around the filmmakers delved deeper into the secret society that was introduced in the first film. After the first film many moviegoers included myself wanted that badly and it's clear the filmmakers heard those pleas. The only negative I can mention is that the sheer size and influence of this secret society sometimes reaches the point of being a bit ludicrous and almost fantasy especially at the end of the film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Chad Stahelski's John Wick: Chapter 2 is a bigger, better, longer, action-packed, high stakes film than its predecessor. It packed so much more heat, and audiences will grit their teeth throughout the movie. The action scenes are more fluid and more exciting, although sometimes, it gets kind of repetitive. It has to do with its length, and by the time the third act came in, audiences had had quite enough of Keanu Reeves fighting and killing dozens of men (and women.) The acting was the biggest problem of this film, albeit the high score, which was because of the glory-ness of the film. Keanu Reeves isn't precisely the dramatic type, though what he lacks in acting chops, he makes up for with his action scenes, a problem that was also found in the previous movie. Overall, the film is a thrilling ride more in-depth down into the assassin brotherhood. The cinematography and the production design was amazing, and this film is a must-watch for anyone, action movie fan or not. Expand

If you enjoyed the first movie, it's more of the same. I think the first is probably required viewing however - as a standalone, you might be left confused. You could still appreciate the inventive and well-crafted action scenes, however.

While the story is your standard fare in regards to these types of movies, the ending felt rushed just so they could make way for a 3rd movie. Still though Keanu Reeves really has put his all into this and you can tell how much he trained just by the action scenes alone. His acting leaves something to be desired but you don't go into a movie like this expecting award winning acting so I'll let it slide. It's a good time waster and a good action movie for those who like it. I'd still recommend the first one to people over this one though. Expand

First of all, I am not a big action movie fan, so please don't take my comment to seriously.
I did not enjoy the car chasing scenes, not sure why did the biker got hit in the first place and what was stolen. And as we all know the bullet-proof John Wick.
However, I do enjoy the movie overall, it gave us a glimpse of the structure of that underworld which is nice. Despite I am not an action movie fan, I do looking forward to the next movie to see how the story progress.
I think I might have an eye problem, coz I think the CGI (or graphics in general) looks a bit strange, and I kept thinking to myself whether the things are real (e.g. the dog). I am surprised no one discuss it so it is quite likely I have an eye problem.

De ce fait, John Wick 2 est moins drôle et moins surprenant que le premier John Wick... et tout aussi bête.

Pour autant, ce Wick 2 parvient encore à réussir ce qu'il fait de mieux, tout comme le premier : distraire et distraire !... et plus les macabés s'entassent, mieux on est distrait à l'instar des jeux du cirque à Rome, dans le temps jadis. Il faut dire que les massacres sont très bien chorégraphiés et qu'on a pas vu mieux (en quantité...-encore que !) depuis Hard Boiled ou The Killer de John Woo.

S'il n'utilise pas de ralentis, le réalisateur délivre une réalisation solide et très appliquée, ne coupe pas comme un sauvage et ne cadre pas comme un demeuré : bref, tout le contraire de facilement les trois quarts de la production des films d'action depuis... belle lurette !

Et si le film est moins drôle que son prédecesseur, il l'est encore suffisamment par bien des façons à la limite de l'absurde d'ailleurs. Keanu Reeves est bien sûr dans son élément à la fois pathétique et indestructible, détaché et obsédé. Quelque chose comme... un con avec un flingue, des tas de flingues... et vous savez quoi ? les cons ça ose tout !

First, let's be clear, John Wick series of movies is a lot of things. It's excellent fighting choreography, brutal deaths, an orgasm of male testosterone wish fulfillment. That isn't bad, I absolutely love it for what it is, a great revengeFirst, let's be clear, John Wick series of movies is a lot of things. It's excellent fighting choreography, brutal deaths, an orgasm of male testosterone wish fulfillment. That isn't bad, I absolutely love it for what it is, a great revenge thriller, Keanu Reeves delivers an excellent badass air to himself. It has a lot of great supporting actors including Ian McShane as the Manager, Common is great as a foil for Keanu and even Ruby Rose, whom I dislike a lot as an actress fits in it.

The best part about it, is it stays in its lane. It doesn't try to be more than what it is and because of that it scratches that itch of an up-powered action flick that has a lot in common with the 80s revenge movies. I will see these as long as they keep coming out.

I was surprised that Keanu, who recently turned 52, can do the part. There is no doubt in his performance that he plays the person perfectly. I was surprised that I didn't want to tear my ears out with Ruby Rose's character. They were smart, they had her play a mute, used her looks as an attractive assassin. The only part about her I didn't like was the portrayal that she is a badass, sorry I didn't buy that for a second... then again I think it was reflected in her last fight scene so maybe the writers had judged correctly as well. The rest of the cast were great too, no complaints.

The thing I liked most about the sequel was its subtle expansion of the world of assassins. I won't go into depth as I don't want to reveal any spoilers, but the movie unwrapped a small slice more of the world, making it feel deeper and more real (well as real as wish fulfillment fiction can be).

Oh, and I really liked that they didn't repeat the same plot devices they used in the first (that is the only semi-spoilerish thing I will say).

The good: great action with lots of choreography, gun porn, and Keanu just rocked it.

The bad: could we please stop with "how cool" Ruby Rose is already?

It's undoubtedly bigger and better than the original; it has a more cohesive, and convincing plot, more compelling story, and more doses of thrills.

This sequel also expands this ravishing universe of criminals and assassins to another level with more rules, bigger scope and reach. It also emphasizes on the titular character's charm as well as Keanu Reeves's charm.

But it's also undoubtedly less entertaining than the original; it has "more of the same" choreographed action set-pieces, which , of course, don't feel as fresh as they were in its predecessor. But it still nothing short of pure fun.
Another issue I've with this movie is that the denouement is a bit messy, and longer than it should be.

All in all, John Wick: Chapter 2 is one hell of a ride that with its exceptional pulp flick make almost every other pulp action flick seems nothing more than a cash grab!

In general terms john wick love the universe he created with mafias.
a very different world has been created for us and we are entering that world for 2 hours.Keanu Reeves playing the role exactly as it should be.

He is very well handled by the sense of revenge he is going to make us wonder until the end of the film allows us to stay connected to the end and find the bad man to serve his fine.

I have very positive thoughts about john wick in general and it should definitely continue the series but this movie was bad and ridiculous compared to the first film.

Not too many sequels follow a similar path to the original and still manage to make it as good. John Wick Chapter 2 does so because even tho the main plot is similar, it actually tells you new things about the world Wick lives in.

John Wick Chapter 2 does a great job at building the world established in the first John Wick. By that I mean you learn a lot more about new people and places that you saw in the previous film. For example, you learn more about theJohn Wick Chapter 2 does a great job at building the world established in the first John Wick. By that I mean you learn a lot more about new people and places that you saw in the previous film. For example, you learn more about the Continental Hotel and more of the rules that are in place when people like John stay there. Little details like that really open this world up to interpretation and a possible cinematic universe that could branch off from the background we got in this movie. While you are following John Wick the entire time, the scale of this movie is much larger than the first. In that you visit a lot more places around the world unlike the first film that was primarily based in New York for the whole movie. The expansion, in scale, really benefited the movie because you got a look more into John’s past and who he’s interacted with throughout his time as a hitman.

The filmmaking on display in this movie is something that all action movie directors and actors need to take notes on. This is some of the best action filmmaking I’ve ever seen. This really comes to light in this movie because of Keanu Reeves and his physical acting with the stunt work he does in this movie. While there are parts that a stunt double was needed, you clearly see that for a ton of those fight scenes it is Keanu doing a lot of the stunts himself. It is so refreshing to see and actor who can do his own stunts and isn’t afraid to be physical with his role. This also translated to amazing editing of the movie with a lack of cuts and shaky cam that makes your eyes hurt. This puts less stress on the director, a former stuntman, and allows them create these amazing action sequences without a variety of cuts and allows the audience to see the action. It’s so hard today to find an action movie that does that all that because many actors are incapable of doing their own stunts. This movie was a breath of fresh air with the amazing filmmaking on display with all of the one-take action scenes that the audience is in awe while watching.

John Wick Chapter 2 is an amazing sequel and Keanu gives another amazing performance as the hitman himself. Some of the best on-screen action I’ve ever seen while sitting in the theatre. The filmmaking on display is great and John Wick Chapter 2 is a more than fitting sequel to John Wick.

John Wick: Chapter 2 PvC Review (5/25/19)

Pros
Naturally building off the world, action, characters, and rules introduced in the first movie; John Wick: Chapter 2 perfectly continues the story in such an awe inspiring way that cannot be put into mere words. All my complaints from the first movie disappear in this beautifully fashioned tale that dives even deeper into the lore and continues straight off of the first movie with no wasted time to dive straight into the vastly improved action sequences that bleed with style and grace. The scenarios have tremendously improved too with the final major scenario being absolutely jaw-dropping and a blast to watch. In my opinion this may be the perfect sequel, not the perfect movie by any means but a perfect continuation of what was already established in the first movie. It kept me wildly entertained the whole way through but I should discuss the very few cons. + Expands the world in a natural way
+ Scenarios are beautiful
+ Settings are wonderful
+ Action is top-notch + Payoff is satisfying
+ Beautifully shot + Story is intriguing as well as the newer characters
+ Soundtrack is amazing


Cons
Now the reason the pros description was very lackluster was because I could honestly gush about this movie all day. But there are some issues I have found with this flick and while small I should mention them. For instance body continuity on the ground sometimes lacks or the fact that the plot, when expanding the universe, can lead the viewer to get a bit lost at times. Tiny things like that, that I noticed and just couldn’t shake. It never really detracts from the enjoyment of the film at all but they are just being noted as noticed.

- Body continuity can be lacking
- Sometimes new universe details can be hard to follow but they still are intriguing
- Gunplay has improved but I still find it so much more fun when he doesn’t have a gun
- Beats from the first movies plot are revisited, a bit of fanservice but it can feel a bit lazy at points (it is a similar gripe I had with certain sequels, felt familiar to the reused jokes in Deadpool 2)

Overall
John Wick: Chapter 2 is a gem within the genre as it expands the world so lovingly while also providing dramatic improvements over areas where the first film lacked. There are small issues here and there but this movie is beyond entertaining, leaving me craving to see the third installment of the franchise.

I watched it for the first time with a 4K streaming service, but the difference compared to 4K Disc is night and day. If you love guns and martial arts ("Gun Fu") in your films, then John Wick 2 is an absolute must in your collection. Sequels are usually hit and miss, but John Wick 2 is definitely a hit in my opinion. Watched on a 4K LG OLED TV C7 65" with LG UBK90 4K Bluray player. Expand

John Wick Chapter 2 is a great sequel to John wick John Wick Chapter 2 is about John wick is on the run because Santino gave him a 7 million dollar bounty John wicks stars to hunt down Santino because he burnt his house down because he did not want to an offer which does not mean to do that but while that happens that puts a bounty on him so he is on the run in the movie the villain is the movie I liked but his motivations made no sense also he wanted his sister dead also which does not make sense either so this movie has the best fighting action scenes I have ever seen there is no story so that makes it a little bit worst because there is no story because in the first movie there is a story and there is a motive for john wick there is a motive in this movie also but it is not as good to be this movie sets up chapter 3 of the movie so all round John Wick Chapter 2 is an great movie and a great sequel to John Wick the action is amazing I like the villain not as good as the first but good enough so I give John Wick Chapter 2 an A- Expand

All eyes on him and all guns pointed at him.

It was not an attracting title for a sequel. The first film was good, completely an unexpected, but I was expecting this one, even though not as much as I was excited to see 'Jack Reacher 2'. That film was good, but did not meet with its first film's merit. And this sequel, really amazing. One of best follow-up flick and better than the original. That feat considered very rare in cinema and here is the one.

Entirely different than the first. I meant the storyline. A new action, a new adventure, and even on a bigger scale. Though the initial parts were average. I totally disliked that killing assignment Mr. Wick took in his hand, but what followed after made the film great, definitely not to be missed for that alone. Especially if you are an ardent action film fan. For me, that reminded me 'Kill Bill', but they are not the same kind, except the fighting concept with hundreds.

Continued from a couple of days later where the previous narration had ended. Now the retired assassin, John Wick forced to take a final job, but soon he finds he was backstabbed. Every eye on the town on him and every gun pointing at him, there's no way he could get out of it easily. So, he has to fight them all, just in order to survive. Then what comes later are even more aggressive screenplay that's ends with left open the door for the third film.

Now this became a stylish franchise. That's what happens when a stuntman takes up the directional job for an action flick. He did not write it, but he knew exactly how to create them, technically perfectly. Besides, he got wonderful, dedicated actors to achieve that. Not just Reeves, but all were awesome. Believe the third film would be a kick-ass, particularly the pace that could match with likes 'Crank'. Just watch it already and be prepared for the next, the mega finale.

Keanu Reeves played his part well, really showing the age in the character and giving off a sense of realism, that John Wick isn't some superhuman man that never ages and whose instincts never slow. All in all, a film that probably won't stick with you for long, save some incredibly choreographed and executed fight scenes. Expand

Movies like this make light of shooting someone and helps to implant into some of the viewers that life means nothing and shooting someone simply means nothing more then bringing down a character in a video game.

For someone who looked like "duh..." through most his career. He's actually solid in the John Wick movies. I mean, it requires some acting to be so damn bad ass. Sure Neo was a cool character but Keanu still looked lost through that whole trilogy. Here, he owns this character and every single action scene "and there's a lot....a whole lot." While there's plenty of colorful characters he goes up against. The hot deaf girl stands out the most though. I love how she and John communicate back and forth with sign language, each with their own death threats. Even John's dog is a great character. The film is so stylish, draggy and action packed that you might grow a little bored. Especially bored with so many gun shots to the head. If you're an action junkie though, John Wick 2 is heroine.

Chad Stahelsky returns back to the director's seat for 'John Wick: Chapter 2'. At this point for an action flick this could have gone either really bad or really well. Luckily, 'Chapter 2' not only respects the dark and serious aesthetic ofChad Stahelsky returns back to the director's seat for 'John Wick: Chapter 2'. At this point for an action flick this could have gone either really bad or really well. Luckily, 'Chapter 2' not only respects the dark and serious aesthetic of the original film, it builds on it and is better in every way.

Like the first film, this also starts hard with an action scene in which John attempts to recover his car (or rather the picture in it with his dead wife) from some Russian mobsters. Yet, unlike the first film, this is less personal, focusing more on the inner workings of the criminal underworld. A world marked with complex rules and principles.

There is no rest for John Wick, though, the premise starting when an Italian mobster, Santino, asks him to kill his sister. That takes him to Rome, where he has a friendly discussion with an old friend who asks him with a worried look: "Are you here for the Pope?". John offers a negative answer. This might seem funny at first, but actually this goes to show what a legendary status Wick has built up among his peers. He is constantly praised for his skills and he is feared. When he gets to his target there is a party happening among the ruins of Rome. This has a symbolic meaning. It goes to show the historical influence and power this criminal underworld has. There were secrets and shadowy politics governed in the past among these now ruined walls.

The most powerful scene in the film comes when John finally meets his target. Santino's sister does not put up a fight. She knows Wick's reputation, she respects him and realizes that he cannot be stopped. Yet she dies her own way, by cutting her wrists and pondering at the afterlife. "Do you fear damnation, John?". After Wick's positive response she claims: "I always thought I could escape it." as she gives her final breath. Unfortunately, for all its aesthetic and deep beauty, its a bit pointless.

From here on, things take a turn for the worst for The Boogeyman, as Wick is known, but the action scenes are still one of the best I've seen. John Wick is a man of few words but many actions (like this film to be honest). It is still a satisfying and entertaining action flick, but is polished by visceral imagery and a gripping soundtrack.

The 2nd iteration unfortunately cut back on the writing and plot budget and went full bore on the action which is ok if you’re into Michael Bay movies. The action scenes have some great execution - Keanu Reeves is very technical and is very good at mixing shooting with mixed martial arts - however the believability of the sequences is almost zero. One guy doesn’t go in guns blazing and take out all the bad guys - just doesn’t happen that way. Kinda reminds me of a bad video game where all the AI are dumbed down and just run in front of bullets. To add to the ridiculousness of the action scenes - the number of ordinary citizens who are hitmen starts to increase and the story stars to suggest that 100’s of NY citizens are secretly killers for hire. The story stoops to a new low by the time the movie wraps up. Its unfortunate - for a movie that could’ve picked up where the Professional (Leon) left off - JW2 ends up stumbling and falling on its face by the end of its second act. Expand

a rare case of sequel being better than the first one
john wick has become the new benchmark
james bond,bourne, vin diesel,expendables,etc etc whatever action movie after this,
if u cant do half as good as this one,u guys might just gtfo

why? :

-lots of action movie have builds up.simple example is recent triple X. or old bond movie
theres so much hype on the protagonist,but so little proof to back that up

john wick isnt one of those movie.it has tons of proofs.
u really convince on why people scared of him
he more than earn that "boogeyman" nickname

and the camera work is perfect, but not moving a lot (like the recent triple x)
this is by no means a bad thing
because a) we can see whats going on
and b) because the action is just geniune pure excellent

no need **** camera work to over compensate or "help" the action

its already good on its on.the camera just need to stay put

-very cool.
using the same examples, those movie rely on sleek 1 liner to showcase its coolness
but john wick cool,because the world its in is cool
the somalier of gun,
the tactical suit tailor
every conversation,every interaction ,ooze uber epic coolness

theres no pointless cheesy 1 liner
john wick show his "cool" thru his movement. every single one of it.

-love the side characters. the villain, laurence fishburne, winston the manager
but all of them are squeezed and used and then throw away
all to build up john wick character.all to showcase his brilliance

a brave move,i respect that
but i prefer to see laurence more
and that gun somalier

-very good movie.possibly 3rd one on his way
but i prefer,or rather i already content with this one
there would be nothing wrong with ending it at chapter 2
because for such perfect masterpiece, would be a pity if its ruin by the next sequel

The entire mob illuminati theme teased in a promising way in the trailer got boring in the first half hour. The ending was very unsatisfying. I felt cheated. The only redeeming thing about the movie is Keanu, who is a consumate professional, and who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into making his role as the World's Biggest Baddass convincing. But, it's not enough to save JW2. I would recommend watching John Wick twice and the trailer to John Wick 2, and call it good. Expand

It is a great ride. I would agree it doesn't have the motivation of the first one but the ride is very similar. It feels long only because the video game deaths are so over the top but if you are looking for something to escape with go for it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. John Wick: Chapter 2 is an action film that seldom misfires. For quick context, John Wick came as a surprise return to form for Keanu Reeves in 2014. Two elements stood out to separate John Wick from the rest of the action pack. The first is in the excellent casting of the protagonist. The quite actor transformed his usual persona into a role of one who, instead, takes extreme action. In extra-textual awareness, loss seemingly haunts the misunderstood actor. The solemn introspective nature of Reeves gives the character of Wick a believable sense of unchained rage. Frankly, John Wick fits Keanu like a glove. A second unique feature of the original is in how the film introduced audiences to the vague world of assassins. John Wick 2 continues the process of world building without conceding a sense of mystery. The film flirts with its own idiosyncrasies knowing full well maintaining the atmosphere is what makes the franchise unique. For example, rules are cited without explaining the full body of the source. Odd artifacts localized to a high ranking assassin will find the camera's attention. In addition, the sequel is a far more cinematically complex film over the first in the series. John Wick: Chapter 2 explores the dichotomy of agency against the externalities in life. Wick constantly conforms to the rules of the assassin world despite a desire to break free. The dangers of breaking free are made explicitly known to the audience and Wick. As a result, the film’s plot is the rare action film which focuses on the awareness of limitations in one’s environment. The story constantly finds humor in the juxtaposition of action to dialogue/scenario. An intense fight will cease in due part to some odd universal assassin code. A shootout occurs during a concert at one point early in the film. Wick shoots an adversary in the head to an ignorant audience’s entertainment. The cited moment gives the viewer a meta moment to ponder their attraction to extreme violent imagery. Speaking of universal codes, the film often uses noir elements to heighten emotions or reflect states of danger. Soft blue and red lighting clash throughout the film. Red often illuminates the screen during the more intense shootouts of the film. Conversely, the color blue offers Wick precious few moments to cool down and collect himself. The depth of the assassin world adds a heightened sense of danger to our protagonist. Wick ceases being able to recognize fellow assassins from civilians among the throngs of New York. (Minor spoiler) The entire environment literally turns against John during the final surprisingly unnerving moments of the film. The action is top notch and will satisfy anyone who simply wants to witness masterfully executed action. The hand to hand combat does get a bit stale during the final fights of the movie. Ultimately, John Wick: Chapter 2 is the cinephiles fun action romp. Expand

I had high expectations due to the positive ratings. In a nutshell, this movie has no storyline other than about 1/2 of the population are assassins, these assassins try to kill John Wick but they literally can't hit the broad side of a barn if they were standing 10 feet away, and then John Wick kills them. Not kidding - John Wick easily kills over 300 supposedly trained assassins in this movie. John Wick has no personally to sympathize with. If you are looking for non-stop action, which doesn't always make a movie good, and lots of blood and guts and heads being blown off, then you might like this movie. I ended up fast-forwarding through some of the major action scenes since they were all pretty much the same - 100 assassins come after John Wick and he kills them all. So I knew where the scene was headed and just wanted to get closer to the end of the movie. Expand

Much like what The Raid 2 was to the first Raid, the sequel waists no time, picking up directly after the first film, it is not afraid to introduce and show the mystery of the protagonist once again, but does it in a way that doesn't feel forced for fans of Chapter One or confusing for the newcomers. Without getting into details of the story, which were mercifully left open by the trailers too, the story is a lot more focused, and grander in scale, as expected the vastly intriguing and surprising underworld of the first film, is developed into an international organisation, following the same code and rules of the Continental establishment, with added features and elements that make it stand out once again. Keanu Reeves is the perfect catalyst and guide for the audience as we traverse through territories both foreign and old. The emotional pull of the first film is lacking however, and while we still root for Wick, mostly due to Reeves' stoic, straight-faced and utterly badass portrayal in all scenes he's in, the gravity of the situation is more of a "forced mission" rather than "wilful revenge", which makes the film a little tamer and less hard-hitting in its plot. The supporting cast is great again, small roles given to talented actors, with Ian McShane's Winston, having a larger role in this one, more fatherly than anything to John, While Riccardo Scamarcio, plays a cheeky, but overall not as strong of a villain here, when compared to the humorous, cynical and respectful Viggo from the original, played brilliantly by Michael Nyqvist. However the villains' bodyguards, played by Common and Ruby Rose, respectively are excellent, both of them unique in their own ways, Common's assassin Cassian is seen as more of a equal to John, and their first showdown is nothing but a gigantic western homage of the 70s, while Ruby Rose, is a mute, who speaks with sign language and still manages to joke around, exuding a playful attitude, she's just as good at smirking and winking as she is with knifing and punching. Which brings us to the aspect of the film, that had me laughing like an egotistical maniac seconds before pressing a button to launch a nuke at Russia, had the whole audience fill the theater with "OOOOOOOHHHHH **** !!" " HOLY **** ME" and a lot of other swearing( I think we swore more times than the film itself), the action. Mixing Hong-Kong action film style gunplay and martial arts, former stuntman turned Director Chad Stahelski, directs the ultra-violent, kinetic action sequences with long takes, minimal editing and a lot of suave energy that never gets boring, manages to escalate, works well constantly, a whirlwind of bullets, broken bones and more than one pencil kills. The cast is right there with him professionally, trained to look as real, cool and natural as possible during those long-takes, gun-fu, now a signature action/fighting style of these films is once again endlessly inventive and the times when Reeves twists and rolls, utilises many upon many Jujutsu and Judo moves, while the camera moves with the action for ultimate highlights of kills and takedowns, it is VERY HARD, IM-****ing-POSSIBLE not to have a reaction equalling an orgasm again and again. The Score is fantastic as well, lovers of the tune and the set-piece of the original's Red Circle club need not worry, as the sequel delivers a blistering set-piece during a concert in Rome, with music just as great, if not better. Stahelski is also very inspired himself by action films of the yore, which he makes apparent in what was pretty much a more savage, gunplay oriented finale of Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon" mirror house finale, or the Buster Keaton opening signifying a stuntman's dream movie has come to life. John Wick Chapter 2 may not be as good of an all-around package with the story taking almost too ludicrous turns out of reality even for its own established reality, the action sequences and the performances make it one of the most accomplished, compelling and thrilling action films I've ever seen, and to me......... that means everything.

I wasn't too fond of the huge expansion of the hitman underworld. What I liked about the first one was the hitman underworld felt like a small population were involved as assassins. Its cool that it's international but having a huge percentage of hitman in New York was pretty ridiculous which is my little nit pick. The second one lacked the emotional connection from the original since John Wick had a personal motivation to do what he had to get done. All in all I had a fun time and I got my money's worth. It was fun hearing the audience's reaction during many of the scenes. In a time where action films are eclipsed by Comic book movies, Star Wars films, and the abrasive Fast series(which should've ended at 7), it's nice to have a small Hollywood production gem with relatively grounded fight scenes, minimal cgi, and awesome stunts; i.e., the John Wick series.

The man. The myth. The legend. John Wick is back, and he’s here to stay. And don’t worry: the new dog’s still here too.

Where do I even start? Films like this one, and the original, are usually ones people walk into with low expectations, coming mainly to see a spectacular light and sound spectacle that goes heavy on the bloodshed and light on the, oh, everything else. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of blood splatter to go around in this movie, but never for a second is the storytelling (take a moment, even for a movie like this one, to follow that word up with a hollow laugh) aspect of the movie compromised for the sake of an action scene, which is such a beautiful thing in this day and age when multiplexes are filled by the likes of Michael Bay. Plenty of focus was spent on world-building in the first, delicately crafting a massive and elegant underground society of assassins and mobsters hiding right under our noses in the middle of New York City. As you’ll see in this one, that is only the tip of the iceberg.

We open on Wick (Keanu Reeves) settling his last bit of unfinished business from the previous film by getting his vintage Mustang back from the brother of original antagonist Viggo Tarasov. This actually accomplishes very little—when he returns home with the car, John Leguizamo’s chop shop owner character quips it’ll be ready “By Christmas…2030” when he calls him to repair it—and seems to serve the purpose of re-introducing the character and his legendary reputation to audiences (including the infamous “pencil story”, of which he gives a demonstration later on). Once this is done, John begins to again try to settle back into life as a civilian, when his past comes back to haunt him once more in the form of Santino D’Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio), an old acquaintance who, we learn, played a vital role in helping in the completion of Baba Yaga’s “impossible task” that established the Tarasov syndicate in the previous film. Bound by a blood oath to assist D’Antonio (who reminds him of this by blowing up his house with a grenade launcher), Wick is given the task of eliminating the former’s sister Gianna (Claudia Gerini; I wonder if Monica Bellucci was unavailable, I honestly think she would have been better for that role) in order for Santino to claim a place at the “High Table”, a council of high-level crime lords who make use of the circle of assassins to whom John used to belong. If you’ve seen anything about the movie on TV or in the news you no doubt know that he succeeds, but when Santino double-crosses him to tie up loose ends, John suddenly finds a world that was all-too-happy to have him back now treacherous and full of danger. With an open contract on his head worth enough money that it’d make anyone consider life as an assassin, John must figure out who he can trust, outlive the attempts on his life by his former colleagues, and find a way to take revenge on D’Antonio all at the same time.

Now, I said that this sequel does everything that a sequel ought to. Allow me to elaborate on that a little more: everything great about the first film was kept while the weaker or less developed areas have been tightened up and now feel more at home. The unique lighting and visual style are still apparent, but a bit of a break is taken from the noir atmosphere of the last film by giving plenty of daytime settings and scenes (in contrast to the grey and black New York night streets), as well as plenty of beautiful new set pieces in Rome. The action scenes are still beautifully choreographed and shot, and we even get to see Wick use a few new weapons in this one (most notably is a shotgun—I was disappointed that he didn’t get a chance to utilize one in the first, but that scene makes up for it one-hundred percent). The dry humor that made the first so hilarious in such a deadly way (the deadpan delivery of Reeves and Lance Reddick, the Continental’s concierge, makes it all the sweeter) is all over the place, and to make up for a few of the juicy supporting performances we lost between this movie and the last one (Poor, poor Willem Dafoe…) we get a couple of new ones from the likes of Laurence Fishburne as the leader of a gang of homeless men/assassins/criminals, Common as the bodyguard of Wick’s mark in Rome, and the legendary Franco Nero as the Winston-type character of an Italian branch of the Continental (Ian McShane also returned to his role, and I loved every minute of his time on screen). But what’s perhaps most interesting is the expansion upon the lore created in the last movie: we see now that these killers aren’t just in New York, but everywhere in the world, and now Wick must be even more careful than before.

I’ve never given an action movie a perfect 10 before, so this is a first for me. All I have left to say is: Threequel, please! 10/10

Because, with Wickmasters Chad Stahelski and Derek Kolstad still at the creative helm of this brilliantly choreographed ship, you're in more than just safe hands. Sure, the impetus for this sequel is nowhere near as raw and primal as the inciting incident from its predecessor, but thanks to some next-level set pieces, and a heap load of development added to the heightened world we all fell in love with in 2014, we are given more than enough to latch on to and fawn over here. It's the kind of "Dark-Knight/Empire-Strikes-Back-esque" second installment that makes you wish the powers-that-be had just shot the third part alongside of it - so you wouldn't have to wait that long to find out what happens next.
