This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Is one impressed me this one got me the feeling that a guy was slowly walking down to Hell one Step at a time.

The action just keeps getting better and better it is truly amazing and the mirror scene in the museum looked so good and the fighting that dirty fighting on the floor when they're just kicking and fighting and chewing it just gets to a huge new whole level I'm impressed to see what they're gonna do next time.

They found the perfect skummy little villain to play the part in this one. It was so good to see him get what was coming for him and to see the last moment of the movie it was magnifying to see how everybody was looking at him.

This feels like between movies and I like to see where they go in the next one.

Как по мне, это фильм хоть и закончен, (все убиты кто должен был, кроме уика конечно же).
Но это скорее первая серия, а 3 часть это вторая, так как закончилась, сами знаете, на самом интересном месте, очень быстро фильм пролетел, хотя идет 2 часа, не заметил.
Просто буквально завершил свое дело с семьей тарасовых, и зарыл меч войны, я думал, ух придется откапывать. Даже откапывать не пришлось, новое дело - новые игрушки.
В не приятную ситуацию попал уик, не разбудили бы в первой части, так во второй, мерский тип этот главный злодей.
Уровни экшен сцен, поднялись, что тут можно сказать, если повсюду убийцы, и нужно держать ушки на макушке, и быть готовым в тех местах, где даже и мысли нет что этот человек убийцы.
Клан бомжей это конечно сильно.
Уровень в руинах, какой то кадр где Джон несется с пистолетом, напомнил мне видеоигру)
Концовка открытая, жесть, еще и с псом, просто как... выжить?

I always appreciated how John Wick 2 expands on world-building. It explains some of the rules of the world and even goes to Europe rather than the one setting like the first.

The action scenes are bigger but not necessarily better. I think out of the whole franchise, this one has the least memorable action sequences aside from the club scene. They are still great to watch but not as cool as the first movie or the entries afterwards. I do like that we get to see John Wick in full force and not needing help as he did in the first film. It feels like the myth of the boogeyman is more believable.

I do have an issue with the antagonist. I find his reasoning for antagonizing John Wick as stupid and unnecessary. Nevertheless, this is a great sequel and is still satisfying to watch!

Usually with action sequels it can be a bit dull and repetitive, but this ramps up the action from the first film.

But yeah, 8/10 from me today. Enjoyed my time watching this, I'm going to jump into the third one now.

The original movie proved that "less is more" with it's law-of-revenge driven plot, the efficiently-used cast of consistently-portrayed core characters with simple yet compelling arcs driven by purposeful S-tier action sequences crafted outThe original movie proved that "less is more" with it's law-of-revenge driven plot, the efficiently-used cast of consistently-portrayed core characters with simple yet compelling arcs driven by purposeful S-tier action sequences crafted out of multiple layers of intent and objective, all playing out on the surface of a criminal underworld shrouded in mystery and intrigue. With a modest runtime of 100 minutes, it's a succinct masterpiece that ranks as possibly the finest action movie ever crafted.

This sequel does exactly the opposite, proving that "more is less". The veil over that hidden world is unceremoniously ripped away to show a contrived sub-par fantasy lurking beneath - along with the retconning of one of the most important parts of John's character foundation, the reflection of this sequel on the original movie these two factors combine to project is extremely unwelcome. The plot hamfistedly attempts to spin a single line of dialogue from the original movie into the premise for this sequel, employing a contradictory set of rules and openly spelling out the consequences of breaking them to make the way this all plays out painfully obvious. The result is a movie that lacks all the charm and intuitive logic of it's predecessor, that spends too much of it's time introducing new characters and setting up the next movie instead of focusing on making this one worth watching. Which is all a real shame, because the attention to detail and passion behind every other aspect of this film still shines through. The action sequences are spectacularly imaginative with expert camera work that takes them to a whole new level. The sets are gorgeous, but not distracting or overused. The acting is a weakpoint at times - sometimes it's a poor portrayal by the actors, sometimes it's plot requirements ruining the chemistry between otherwise well worked characters - but the core players are up to excellent standard, especially Ian McShane's effortless magnetism and Lance Reddick's disarming honesty. But all that blood, sweat and tears can't make up for writing deficiencies that not only ruin this movie, but come horrifically close to ruining the original too.

After checking out the first John Wick film, I couldn't wait to check out the second film and after watching it, I can say I prefer this one over the first film just a tiny bit because both films really are that incredible but the second filmAfter checking out the first John Wick film, I couldn't wait to check out the second film and after watching it, I can say I prefer this one over the first film just a tiny bit because both films really are that incredible but the second film takes what was so good about the first film and improves upon it. The second film's action remains excellent but the main way on how it improves on the first film is how throughout the movie, the villains John faces get stronger preventing the movie from feeling repetitive and boring and to ensure it feels like John's actually making progress to reach his goal which is something I'm glad the director realized about the first film. The action remains splendid and it's actually better this time not necessarily because of Keanu Reeves (but to be clear, he's still amazing for the role) or the stronger enemies, but also with how fast and tight the camera moves being incredibly smart on where to position itself so that the action FEELS fast but also in one particular scene where the camera was smartly placed to fool me for a second. The characters are great at their role and the performances are just as good to keep the action feeling fresh even if it could potentially feel repetitive. The main reason why I believe the story is better in the first is because in the first movie, it was primarily all about personal stakes (which to be clear isn't a bad thing) but the second movie one ups that with it also adding lore to the movie and the new lore here does feel earned and I do believe it belongs here. Lastly, John Wick still being an excellent protagonist with how dangerous and terrifying he remains while still reminding us he's still reminding us he's still a human at the end of the day who can still get hurt as pointed out in a specific scene his bullet proof vest can still be painful if hit. Overall, I simply cannot recommend this movie enough if you liked the first film and I certainly cannot wait to see how John Wick 3 builds upon them both. Expand

Some good, witty dialogue and lots of violence, some bloody, with gunfights, physical altercations and the majority of the film being in low light conditions aka in dark settings.

There's not a great deal I can say about it, other than that if you liked the first film then you'll likely enjoy the sequel I suppose but it certainly wasn't what I'd call memorable.

"Winston, Tell them. Tell them all. Whoever comes, I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them all"

O segundo capitulo da, até então, trilogia traz evoluções consideráveis quando considerado o primeiro filme. A sequencia direta explora mais a lore do universo, que sabe muito bem como apresentar esse conceito de assassinos junto ao código moral que vemos em filmes mafioso de uma maneira bem unica.

As cenas de ação são ainda melhores, com uma geografia muito bem estudada, coreografias mais ricas e complexas, um realismo maior nos disparos, contagem de munição e probabilidade de acerto. Eles também acertaram na direção de arte, que aqui sabe muito bem como escolher as cores e os impactos que as mesmas tem em respectivas situações. Um ótimo exemplo é a cena na sala de espelhos. A fotografia é tão boa quanto no primeiro, valorizando a coreografia e o talento dos atores e dubles e não nos deixando desorientados. Audio: English, with Portuguese subtitles.

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

He is in grief over his dead wife, yet spends the entire movie killing other people in a sickeningly casual way. The bad guys can't shoot him from 6 feet away, and as the body count racks up you begin to wonder if he's going to be revealed as some kind of superhuman at the end of the movie. I didn't get that far. This movie is exactly like a videogame. Expand

The one part I don't get, and completely shattered the suspension of disbelief was that 85 lbs 12 year old boy that seemed to be everywhere. Nothing about that seemed less than goofy. I mean, put Shayna Baizler, or Rhonda Rousey in there, that's intimidating and filled with belief for a credible villain. Not that, 12 year old boy looking thing. I mean, Shayna Baszler is so much hotter, and cooler, she even has a UFC title.
What does that 12 year old boy have besides............ ........ ....... uh, I have no idea.

Like the first movie, it's a dark, violent, gritty, and intense film with incredible visuals and sounds on 4K bluray disc format. 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. John Wick: Chapter 2 is even more incredible than the first one. This one of my favorite action movies of all time and one of my favorite movies of all time overall. The action scenes and fighting choreography are even more awesome and impressive in this one, I especially loved the fight scene between Keanu Reeves and Ruby Rose. Keanu Reeves performance as John Wick is just as stupendous and cool as in the first one. Ruby Rose, Common, Lance Reddick, John Leguizamo, Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne, and Riccardo Scamarcio also gave terrific supporting performances. The film score was also really great. This is a for sure A+ movie and can't wait for Chapter 3. Expand

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.

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

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.

Another Brawling Job.

John Wick: Chapter 2

Stahelski's second round of this everlasting boxing match delivers the insight of the mythological world that these criminals reside in. And with it comes rules, contracts, honor, betrayal and blood. Spilling out blood more than ever, this too much of everything still never R rates the screen with bloodbath, it owns that old clean palace and neat clothes that had made it appealing in the beginning. Amping up the charge on action, the accessories comes aplenty which makes fights more lethal and unlike the previous one, more justifiable. The long take action is well choreographed that isn't just confined within oneself but uses the surrounding well enough to keep it more absorbing. The mirror sequence being well shot, personally, I still recommend the battle between Common and Reeves around the stairs.

Similar to previous there is humor every now and then between these fights but what's catchy is that it is drawn from the so called awesomeness of the lead, every character, every guns, every conversation is directed towards him, the hype keeps rising along with our heartbeats. Stahelski's world is always thirsty to know "how" would it be done rather than "who" would do it and being aware of the difference between these two, he makes sure there is still lot to look forward to despite of our host that remains constant.

It adds on new characters and it does it with such smoothness, that you feel their presence before they arrive, the narration has grown far better than the previous one, along with the execution, there will not be any questions raised this time, Stahelski is not going to repeat his mistake. His main armor being Reeves whose training is well paid off, the cowboy quickness, the God-like body language, ferocious pace in action and a tendency to speak very little.

These characteristics that Stahelski keep building deriving from every possible genre, paints a crystal clear picture of a protagonist in our head; Reeves has an easy job to do. The supporting cast falls short this time, although McShane and cameos like Fishburne balances the tone. Scamarcio; the antagonist neither has that uncertainty to scare his viewers nor rudeness to make it more terminal. Rose and Common decently handles the score with few good action sequences.

This installment of the franchise is faster and has a sense of urgency that keeps you at the brisk of your seats, especially its second half, being chased by the entire community, the chase scene never feels like a chase scene, he might be on run, but he never actually does. With a hint of a bit of The French Connection, the feud between Common and Reeves turns into a character itself, the stillness and the style, everything makes you root for them. The reason why it is loved by the fans immensely, is Stahelski's knack of ending it on an unstable note, that gut wrenching finale, that last punch leaves the viewers wolfish for more. John Wick: Chapter 2 is accurately titled it is just another chapter of his life, for when the dust settle, not even a dime has changed.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed the first John Wick, a blood-spattered non stop adrenaline high, a man and his, many, many, many guns seeking revenge for those that "did him wrong", pure, straight forward and fun.
The second though was a bit under especially when he went to the "assassins club" and ordered a wardrobe of tactical armoured dinner suits and chose many weapons from a smorgasbord weapons with the salesman fawning all over his customer wonderful selections.
So some of the visceral nature of the first was diluted for me.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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

While the first film had excellent action sequences and not much else, this sequel has even better sequences and everything else. The characters are interesting, the script is tighter and the acting (sans Reeves) is good enough. Gone is the ridiculous plot of a deceased dog from the first John Wick. Now we're treated with fiction surrounding the criminal underworld, and it's just enough. Looking forward to the third film in this series. 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.

8/10

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 !

The first half of the film is a problem because there is basically no action beside the (great) 10min Opening and I was getting bored. Luckily the second half is the opposite and the action shifts to like 70/30% for the rest of the runtime.The first half of the film is a problem because there is basically no action beside the (great) 10min Opening and I was getting bored.

The first John Wick reminded us just how cool Keanu Reeves can be. With great action and a simple, yet effective plot it left us wanting to see more of Wick in the future. Well ladies and gentlemen, here is the encore we've been waiting for.The first John Wick reminded us just how cool Keanu Reeves can be. With great action and a simple, yet effective plot it left us wanting to see more of Wick in the future. Well ladies and gentlemen, here is the encore we've been waiting for. It's really just more of the same, but given how good John Wick was in the first place that's all it really needed to be. It does go a little beyond what it's predecessor did by upping the body count and by playing around with the rules of John Wick's world. The latter is especially significant because that's something a lot of fans asked for. The extra insight as to what makes life as an assassin tick is much appreciated.

There's a wonderful sense of style to the movie. It's an absolutely gorgeous film. The action is brought to life with spectacular, exciting set-pieces. There are plenty of inventive kills and as a result an almost constant stream of memorable moments. Ruby Rose and Common prove to be very welcome additions to the cast as cool and deadly new rivals for Wick. Common's character in particular is almost like a counterpart to Wick. What with the similar personalities, motives, and skill sets. It makes for some incredible fights. I believe they might have also upped the brutality here as well. Thrown in some extra blood. It makes things more exciting.

If there is one flaw to the action it's that the hand-to-hand combat falls back on the old 'watch our hero flip a guy by his arm' trick too often. Every time Wick finds himself without a gun that is always his fallback move. It's noticeable and a little weird. The gunplay however is flawless, fast, and furious. I can't think of another time where it's been this much fun watching people get shot in the head. There also may be an issue with the actual writing. Personally, I didn't notice this, but one person I know who watched it mentioned how it felt like they had seen it before because they could predict how everything was going to play out in the final third of the film, right down to the dialog. Not a big deal in my opinion either way because of how strong the action is. Besides, it's not like the first John Wick is known for redefining plots fo rthe action movie genre.

If you wanted more John Wick then Chapter 2 will most certainly deliver. It has got some of the most exciting fights and shoot outs around. Plus there is style to spare. With a lot of great side-characters and villains to fill in the world and more details into all these rules Wick must follow, there's new here to go along with the familiar. It's also hard to not like that bit of fanservice included by reuniting Reeves with Laurence Fishburne. It's a return trip worth taking that gives viewers exactly what they were wating to see.

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
