In every way, the first "John Wick" sequel raises the bar. The action sequences are more elaborate, there are more villains, and the plot is more complicated. In terms of action, the series is still going strong. The fights are even more impressive than in the first film, even if they are not as groundbreaking as before. Keanu Reeves continues to be a strong lead actor, and some of the supporting actors are also convincing. Only with the villains do I have some problems, particularly with Riccardo Scamarcio as Santino D'Antonio and Ruby Rose as his henchwoman. Also, the story became too silly for my taste here. And the catalyst for the plot seems altogether a bit too much like a repetition of the first part. Overall, however, I see "Chapter 2" roughly on the same level as the first movie.
