Story: 6/10...some more expansion of the assassin's underworld, which was cool. But a super thin plot stretched out by long action sequences. Dialogue: 8/10...much improved over original. Giving Ian McShane as much screentime as possible definitely helps, not to mention introducing Fish. Performances: 8/10...a couple missed beats with some of the villains (who isn't a villain?) but for the most part everyone sucks you deeper and deeper into the assassin's world. Again, keeping things focused on Reeves, McShane and Fish makes it great. Misc.: 9/10...just so, so good with the new and improved locations/sets and the outstanding camerawork, editing and sound effects with the fight scenes. No real wasted time either. Overall: 8/10...weak plot almost dragged it down to a 7 but gets a bonus point for a very clear and exciting set up for JW3.
