Good action, even though some of the fights dragged on a bit. But the story overall was just dull. I lost interest around the half-point.
While Chapter 1 gives us a bigger insight on what happened and why Wick does what he does, Chapter 2 really doesn't have a strong storyline. A storyline that would divide itself from the first.. it's own storyline that is. Granted it's still a great film just believe that there could've been more to the story.
If you're looking for butt loads of well lit aesthetic shooting scenes - you are in for a ride.
If, however, you're looking for a good story, look elsewhere.
Like watching a 2 hour movie trailer for John Wick 3...shoulda took the blue pill...mister Anderson
El guión es increíble y no se sostiene. Acción de principio a fin. Más conseguida que la primera parte.
Better than the first one, especially in terms of story and action scenes, though there are still too many WTFs and too much Keanu to really let this one shine.
Not even close to the first. Excellent action scenes but story is really poor and Scamarcio is totally unwatchable, an overrated actor.
I glanced at the clock at 40 minutes in and wondered when this movie would pick up. I admit the fight scenes were cool up to this point but I couldn't stick with this flick.
Everybody tries to kill John Wick.
John Wick kills (almost) everybody.
End of movie.
More than two hours of continuous shootings, pursuits and body to body, at the expense of a slender storyline practically non-existent. Too little to make an interesting movie, albeit at original traits. Much better the first!
I stop being entertained by these whenever people stop shooting each other, which is about 75% of the movie. The acting, dialogue, worldbuilding and plotting are so horrendously bad, which could still make for a nice guilty pleasure if it at the very least has fun with itself, but it wants to be serious and cool so bad. It’s like one of those direct to dvd/streaming action films that isn’t aware of the fact that it’s schlock, just with ridiculous good action scenes (I still want Keanu to feel less invincible, but that’s a minor thing) and more of a budget. Whenever I watch these I just wish that Stahelski would abandon this franchise and direct second unit for Bond or Mission Impossible, way more suited to his talents.
4 star，boring and old
Rating this one point above Tokyo Gore Police because it has a tiny bit of more substance.
So boring...fell asleep several times
Absolute total rubbish. Keanu must have been really desperate. The only good things in both Chapters 1 and 2 were the dogs.
Not a single thing has an actual or coherent meaning, everything is done only to gratify the viewer: the story, fights, characters.
Aesthetically pleasant, the script is made of bits, videogame levels. A grocery list with all the parts from the former chapter that they wished to re-present, inserted as a muddle around which the movie is built.
I don't watch action movies for a sophisticated philosophical plot, but Chapter 1 had a structure and you could tag along John's reasons. Here they wanted to get rid of the pretext as quickly as possible to get back to the main course, with the result that everything gets dumbed down by an order of magnitude.
Most of John's choices don't make any sense if not to create cool fighting moments. Infinite ammo, endless injuries and hits creating no lasting damage, waves after waves of henchmen falling like dominoes, rough-edged characters who speak in catchphrases
Saying "fights are dope" should be an added value of a solid action flick with a simple yet mostly believable plot, not the only purpose to which the storyline itself, characters and dialogues are sacrificed.
Those praising it as one of the best sequels ever make me once more question the sanity of some viewers
Over the top ridiculous violence without a storyline. A very sad attempt of copying James Bond. Give this a miss and stick with 007.
action action action loved it
This movie is not bad. However, it is not as nice as the first one.
Gangster shit just like the first one, the third one is fire too, ya boy keanu is a shooter for real on the range....
Where should i press to watch it?
How do i watch the movie??
I desperately needed it to have better acting and dialogue. Because while the action is equally brilliant to the first one, I found myself zoning out in most scenes. Cassian's dynamic with John was the hgihlight for me.
"How to destroy the world with a low caliber weapon" a story by John Wick
John Wick was a success, albeit violent and silly, due to a slightly different take on the tried and trusted bestest hitman in the world that everyone knows about, surely the worst thing for that job but that’s another conversation and the perfect casting of Keanu Reeves in the role. Therefore it really hurts me to say but all of the above reasons for the first film being so good seem to be the same reasons for the ‘Chapter 2′ being so bad.
You can only assume it’s the direction that does this. Chad Stahelski appears to have been the director this film on his own, rather than in tandem with another as in the first film, he is a top stunt coordinator and this film shows exactly that.
What we have here appears to be a film made for the shoot-’em-up, beat-em-up video game generation. People who want no character development, no real peril, no proper story, just stunts, action, death, blood, guns and disposable henchmen over and over again until the end credits roll.
Just because John Wick is visceral, kinetic and action orientated it doesn’t mean if you stuff all of that into the running time with little attention paid to anything else you’ll get entertainment guaranteed.
The plot holes and idiotic logic in this film were so large and prominent they could be seen from the surface of the moon without a telescope and then throw into the mix the unrealistic bullet-proof suit and an armoury the average nation would be envious of and you have just got rid of a strong point of the first film. Fighting, shooting and killing people is difficult and it hurts. In this film it doesn’t. In fact, it’s a bit like a hard work out at the gym, leaves you feeling tired, makes your legs ache but you get over it fairly quickly. For the number of people John Wick kills in Chapter 2 the criminal world should have run out of heavies to hire by now. Who hires them, why do they work for any of these mobs, why are they so useless? Questions asked by Austin Powers that are re-enforced by John Wick Chapter 2 without even blushing.
John Wick in the first film was an ‘impossible’ hitman but he got hurt and had a motive. In this film he is a super-human and Reeves, so good in the first film, is on coasting mode throughout most of it. He is ably backed by the ever-reliable Ian McShane and ‘war-horse’ like Lance Riddick and Laurence Fishburne but even their experience and talent can’t throw a lifeline to the utter tosh that is up on the screen.
This film is mind-numbing, insulting to the intelligence, violent for violence sake and has a ‘hero’ who is impossible to best, beat or even hurt, you certainly will not kill him.
Worst of all, it is boring.
very very very good movie
I really need to put this movie on my watch list because it seems to have a great cast. Lawrence Fishburne, Common and especially Keanu Reeves I know it will have a lot of action scenes.I will make it my business to watch it before the weekend.
Well worth the wait... It's pure action, great action, the action scenes were excellent, and I really like the story line. Mr. Wick is ruthless, and all he were going through because of the impact he made returning to that world was rough. But now he admited his back and even though now he is exiled and running, I'm guessing he will be more dangerous and ruthless. Can't wait for the Chapter 3, that's for sure.
"John Wick. You're not very good at retiring."
I'm glad that John Wick is not very good at retiring. After the sucess of "John Wick", they needed to do this one.
The scenarios of this movie were outstanding. So beautiful to watch. The action sequences were terrific and the stunt work was incredible. I had a blast watching this movie.
Keanu Reeves was born for this role. I also liked the way this movie explored the vulnerable side of John Wick, even if he is very hard to beat.
Oh... and the pencil scene... Holy shit.
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the all movie, thinking about what this franchise succeed since 2014.
Already waiting for the third movie.
Bettet than the frist one!

I don't know what the hype of Part 1&2 are about. The ending was the strongest thing about Part 2, setting up Part 3.
