It was a good movie, I liked the original better though. This one I felt was a bit too long.

The movie lacked a truly imposing badass opposite of Keanu. Some great moments and a very good movie on balance, but I liked the first one more because the foil was much more compelling. The action scenes stood up to or even surpassed the first ones, but they got a little long and repetitive at times and did so at the expense of the story. In the end, having a cut-rate Marton Csokas as the bad guy just didn't do the film justice. It was similar to watching The Hateful Eight where the whole time I'm watching Tim Roth thinking "okay, this role was pretty obviously intended for Christoph Waltz and all I can see right now is Roth doing a Walz impression." This whole movie felt like Santino doing an impression of Quinn from Into the Badlands.

Finally saw it this afternoon. What an enjoyable flick. Stylish, slick, bloody and silly.
Apparently there are only two kinds of people in the world - mindless computer game avatars who notice absolutely nothing going on around them, and underworld assassins with old crappy cellphones. |

I liked them both just as much. Typical guy action flick...Hollywood needs more of these.
I will say this. I think it's kind of silly that he literally shoots everyone in the head. lmao Wonder who wins in a battle of who kills who first....Jason Bourne or John Wick?

I saw it last weekend. I liked it, but thought the first one was better. It seemed like their formula for this one was just doing the same stuff as the first movie but more of it.

Finally saw this today. The thing is you had some emotional involvement in the first film. As in his wife just died. He got carjacked and then his dog was killed. This film not so much. I liked this movie just as well. But the emotional involvement just wasn't there. If that makes sense. The deaf chick was hot though. Can't wait for the 3rd film. Wick is on his own now after violating the rules. How pissed could he have been to have killed the guy in the bar in front of Winston? Bad move.

Just a little. But tastefully done.

Haven't caught this yet. I believe I'll go check it out today. In the mood for a good popcorn flick at the theater.

Man.... the choreography in this movie is really incredible. There's a scene where he's holding a guy down with the barrel of his shotgun out of harm's way, while he reloads it, to shoot him after downing several others in the meantime. So much fun, both of the Wick movies. This one wasn't quite as good, but still awesome.
