The formula to making a great Keanu Reeves movie has been discovered and perfected. Where it has 'Keanu speaks' in the script just cross out speaks with 'shoots everyone in the face'. If only Coppola knew about this in Dracula, or Branananaugh in Much Ado about Nothing cause it'd be much ado about something baby, oh myyyy

Perhaps lacks the immediacy, the rhythm and the element of surprise of the first film, but this is still a load of fun. The action scenes are handled superbly, and the assembled cast carry things along nicely - this role seems to fit Reeves perfectly It perhaps stretches credibility a bit further than it should at times (how many killers exist in this world?), but the whole thing is so lunatic it doesn't really matter. Enjoy the violence.

MontyCircus | 20 11th |
The soft-spoken hitman with a heart of gold returns, in the alternate universe where 90% of the people on the planet are underground elite assassins who hang out at underground elite assassin hotels and wait for other underground elite assassins to come and kill them at underground elite assassin cocktail parties. I'm honestly not entirely sure if the body count was closer to 1,000 or 10,000. It's as goofy as 2008's "Wanted" but doesn't seem to know it, as the humour and fun is stripped away.

A very well-made sequel. The first installment looked very okay and ended up surprising everybody with some great directing, action, and a passable story. I would say this movie delivers more of the same, but the writing and action are both kicked up a notch. I personally loved the ending and I liked Stahelski's directing. Very entertaining. I would definitely watch a third and hopefully final chapter.

John Wick: Chapter 2 is probably going to wind up being the best pure action film of the year. How awesome is that? It's a bigger film than its predecessor, expanding on the already well-built world and taking its protagonist through an even more grueling series of events. The action remains top-notch, it's filmed and edited in a way that actually lets you tell what's going on, and it will leave you wanting another one to come along as soon as humanly possible.

If it loses a little something compared to the first, it's only because its unique vision of a world in which hitmen have an international conglomerate with their own set of byzantine bylaws and alliances is no longer as fresh. However, it still knows how to play within its own rules, and the action is as beautifully choreographed as ever. Plus, the setup for John Wick 3: hoo, boy.

It's a little too reverent to and derivative of its lightning-in-a-bottle masterpiece predecessor to stand as a masterpiece on its own, which isn't to say it's not one helluvan action flick. Every moment Keanu and Common spend fighting/shooting at each other in this movie is sublime. The expansion of the first film's mythology is consistently cool and fascinating. Great set pieces, great music, great ending. Already ready for the third one!

Sincere in its design but just over the top enough to know you really shouldn't take this shit seriously. Director Stahelski has finally made an American Bullet Ballet: Wick's battles with Common evoked Woo's classic duels of dualisms - the stakes are high, and so is the relentlessness. And the fun.

Stylised, abstract, videogamey. So much so that it becomes hard to answer: is the writing (or the acting) good or terrible? More certain is that great effort was expended on conceiving the lighting, colour and sets, and that the hall of mirrors sequence successfully one-ups THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI. This film, plus THE RAID 2 (2014), ONLY GOD FORGIVES (2013) and especially UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: DAY OF RECKONING (2012), seem to add up to a new kind of aestheticised, quasi-"metaphysical" "action" film.

John Wick 2 is a worthy sequel that surpasses the scale and enjoyment of it's predecessor. Everything I wanted from a sequel is showcased here and we get more driving, more guns, more stunts, more asassins and the heightened world that has been created is explored further. Keanu Reeves again commits himself to most of the stunt work and the masterfully shot, lit, edited & choreographed set pieces take the gungfu and driving to another level. And the finale sets up a mouthwatering third film.

An improvement on the original which was already pretty good. The action is high quality throughout and everything is filmed so that you can clearly see whats happening with a sequence in Rome that mixes action and music to create a fantastic action scene. I really like the world building where there's a whole world of assassins and little is explained so the audience has to work out the ins and outs. Neo meeting Morpheus is great and it has a few moments of black comedy which were pretty funny

It's exactly like the first one but more. Normally that's a complaint but since there was nothing to the first one other than Keanu Reeves is a badass who punches & shoots everyone I can't really complain about Keanu punching & shooting everyone & their sister this time around. I'm not saying I expected them to have a story or anything but it's really quite cute how "chapter 2" seems to imply that. I'm actually excited to see how Keanu can outpunch himself next time but I think that will be it.

John Wick takes a job to assassinate a high ranking organized crime leader, which results in dozens of hit men from all over the world trying to kill him. It's everything from the first movie (good and bad) cranked up to 11. It's equal parts silly, gory, and fun. The ending which leads to the inevitable Chapter 3 left me salivating for more.

TheRealJ-Ro | 80 70th |
The John Wick movies can best be described as video games. Wick is obviously the player-character. Every single enemy he encounters is significantly weaker than he is, which is why he can beat up many at once. He can take many hits while enemies can only take a few. He faces a few mid-bosses that are a little tougher, before he meets the final boss. This is not a criticism in any way. This is the right way to do these movies. Chapter 2 is equal parts dumb and awesome. See it! Bring on Chapter 3!

What John Wick: Chapter 2 looses in originality and the out-of-nowhereness that its predecessor capitalized on, it makes up for in pure kinetic energy. Once Mr. Wick gets going it would be a mistake to blink. The operatic gunplay that is reminiscent of 80s and 90s Hong Kong films and the extended, brutal, fight scenes that are inspired by the recent Raid movies are mixed into a vehicle that is perfect for Reeves. Wooden acting and physical activity. Definitely a hell of a good time.

TimeCapsule | 81 85th |
John Wick 2 does a sequel right in many regards. It took the simple revenge plot of the first one and expanded the underground assassin world mythos as John Wick fights for his survival. Bringing back all the great action and fight choreography of the first, the film adds creative twists and set pieces to try and prevent the movie from getting stale. However, the movie fails to recapture all of the same unexpected charms, and by the end begins to wear down.

Actionberg | 85 84th |
Gone is the stock Death Wish plot tinged with weirdo fantasy. This one goes full bore on its cabal of assassins much to its benefit. Ideas like Laurence Fishburne the Hobo King could have completely fallen flat, but for whatever reason the internal logic of it all stays solid. The action is better, and there's Lady from Shanghai-inspired climax that drips with modern style. I reckon it could wind up a milestone of this era of video games starting to reflect back on their cinematic inspirations.

In a world where everyone is an assassin, I find it hard to believe the average assassin would have enough work to make ends meet, resulting in starving assassins trying to leave the business, only to have hits put out on them for trying to leave the business, resulting in drastic global population decline, ultimately leading to the end of human civilization. John Wick 2. So unrealistic.

Incomprehensibly stupid. Everybody is a hitman! The hobo in the subway, the busker, the sumo wrestler, the janitors, and the fucking pigeon keeper. Excessive gun battles have zero weight. Half the civilians don't care about heads exploding. John Wick wants a gun but forgets that he buried a small arsenal under concrete--if jewellery can survive a fire... Oh and we have a mute Ruby Rose and everybody knows sign language. Stab yourself in the aorta, you'll enjoy life more.

AFlickering | 4 57th |
one of the most aestheticised american action movies in many years, a delirious arty pose which constructs an increasingly strained mythology around itself, feigns confrontation with the ugliness of its broken protagonist and his therapeutic addiction to violence, but really just wants excuses to fetishise itself some more. at the very least, it's refreshing in this day and age to see action sequences shot and choreographed with such care and panache.

The first couple of action scenes are pretty great (the car stunts were fun), but the rest of the film is only moderately entertaining. And more often than not, it seems to take itself and its mythology way too seriously.

This time the action takes a back seat to expansion of the John Wick world, which turns out to be a really interesting place, it's pretty fantastic, in the out there kind of way. The first movie had a heck of a lot of awesome fighting, but the second time around I saw way too much of Wick punch guy one to the the ground, shoot guy two with guy one's gun and then shoot guy one afterward, even though he had been waiting on the ground patiently and peacefully.

A world full of killers. Indeed there are so many of them, there's not even collateral damage when they start shooting each other. This and the use of colors lifts the movie above reality. An endless amount of henchmen come to John Wick to get shot and in the end it almost got a surreal feel to it. The simplicity didn't always work though and sometimes I was shaking my head at the way the plot evolved.

Motherfuckers Getting Shot Straight in the Head: Chapter 2. Continues with the welcoming story simplicity of the first one throughout its first half, but then it implements some familiar international espionage plot-points -- but with this comes some of the best action scenes I've ever seen that are ridiculous, stunning, funny, bloody, and at one point rather wince-inducing. Very little excess fat and mostly lean meat, I want Chapter 3 right now

From Rome catacombs to NY underground run by a a mob of fake hobos (led by Fishburne), from street fighting/shooting to an entire sequence taking place in a mirrored installation at a museum. Everyone wants a piece of John Wick, but we still don't know him -- except his assassin skills and his will to retire. He barely talks or reacts. No hate, no love. Just practical, elegant violence. In a suit, after a drink, picking a gun with a sommelier. Chaotic carnificine, but among gentlemen and women.

It's more of the same really - enjoyable enough, well choreographed and slick. Even within it's own freakishly disconnected world this one doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's cool and frenetic enough for that to seem somehow irrelevant. Hard to see it stretching to a third outing without wearing out it's welcome though.

This series definitely has my attention. If the movie 'Equilibrium' introduced us to the idea of 'Gun-Fu', these are the movies that mastered it. I'm just so enamored with how well the action flows and how satisfying it all is. The storyline isn't hammy either like alot of action movies, it hits on the right notes, the laughs fall where they need to. Perfect set up for the 3rd movie too. Can not wait!

Bc what you didn't realize was missing in the 1st was wick on a shotgun rampage. Not the lightning in the bottle 1st was but still ferocious visceral(read: this one's gorier!

A strong continuation of a unique character & world. Some minor missteps come from the pacing/placement of the action sequences as well as casting Common as an anti-villain. Still, the fight scenes & gunplay are expertly choreographed--making this an action movie version of La La Land. The Wick character continues to be great, with some almost Hamlet-esque ruminations on revenge, duty, and action. The ending, like Empire Strikes Back or The Dark Knight, sets up a great next chapter. Recommended!

From Stahelski's direction to Keanu's acting and stuntwork, John Wick: Chapter 2 is everything the first one was and a little bit more. John Wick 2 sees the world open up more and I loved what that showed me. We saw more assassins, more John Wick foes, more grueling hand-to-hand combat, and more gun fu. I cannot wait to see what the third installment has in store.

Filligan | 81 44th |
This role is perfect for Reeves. He's just good enough of an actor to play a rigid, calculating hitman machine, and the film feels self-aware of that (maybe that's me, but I think we're meant to laugh at what would be another actor's badass one-liners). Problem with Chapter 2 is it peaks in the middle. The action is still top notch -- maybe better than the first, but that's at odds with the lower stakes compared to the first. Wick's thrust is less personal, more business -- unfortunately.

Doubles down on the first film's vibrancy and excess with great enthusiasm. It's all more than a little ridiculous. This criminal underworld is so fraught with the strained affectations of formal gangsterism that it becomes comedy. The bullet ballet is better than ever, a complete mastery of rhythm and spacing, complementing its (ir)reverence of Woo and Melville now with a tribute to The Lady from Shanghai.

It isn't as charming as the first film. However, it does up the action. I will continue to watch Keanu Reeves kick ass as long as he wants to keep making these movies. The action sequences are top-notch, and that's the only reason anyone watches these things, yeah?

Get ready to watch a thousand heads explode... again. Perfect example of taking a decent movie and choosing exactly the right elements to expand and exploit. Right from the start, this is more honest in being a very, very silly movie. It's just the time of movie that loves being silly and creates a most entertaining world whilst hardly letting up for a minute. The action is just top-notch. Most importantly; I'm sure there's some CGI but I couldn't spot it.

While the 1st film's only real standout features were its amazingly choreographed fight scenes (which proved that all the critical acclaim heaped on the Bourne films' unclear tightly-cropped fight scenes was bs) & a funny, bordering-on-camp presentation of its hero's badassness, this improves the original by making sure there's always something clever/different about each of those spectacular fight scenes & becoming more "comic-booky" by revealing more of its fantastic secret world of assassins.

Exactly as much fun as the first installment. The novelty is gone, however the polished and improved action sequences, Keanu's soulful presence, the decent pacing and the solid and stylish execution more than make up for it. It's a piece of mindless fun - with a great car action sequence too - in a genre that seems to be somewhat re-surging in the last few years, just as the horror genre of late: Dredd, The Raid, the Mad Max reboot - all of them very satisfying examples of the action genre.

A fine sequel to a good action movie. There isn't much that's "new" this time around beyond the plot being a bit deeper. Personally I just preferred the simple 'you killed my dog and stole my car and now I kill you' plot to the plot in 2 that involves the politics of the underground hit man/mercenary industry. Still the action scenes are frequent enough I didn't have enough time to question the logic of the story too much.

I honestly liked the first part more, it was innovative and this was barely a continuation without much new. This one is also packed with action and sheer awesomeness of protagonist but feels just a tad bit more shallow. I did like that they explained the background and backstory a bit though. I can't wait for Final Chapter, or Third and then Final!

John Wick has a thoroughly entertaining back-half that almost competes with the awesome, lightning-in-a-bottle first movie. That being said, this chapter had a boring as all sin first half. There is just nothing to get excited about, even the action opening is very standard. That being said, production value has increased, while plot and motivation seems to have decreased. It's not bad, just less exciting the second time around.

The first John Wick flick delighted with its action, and oddly with its sincerity. Chapter 2 improves on those action scenes, pairing them with better music choices. The mythos introduced in the first film is expanded on, to mixed results. The European elements are great. The plot, on the other hand, is a little bit of a let down. Every plot point is predictable, yet the film plays out like a thriller.

He gets too many hits/shoots but all of them tanked by his suit !! Metro shootout with common was pretty hilarous and silly.. There is no police in this world.. And Assasins is the most crowded population in the world ?! These are the silliest thing about the movie.. But when you look at acting, action scenes, stuntwork, visual its great

The exceptionally hammy dialogue somehow heightens the excitement already more than capably delivered by slick cinematography and a perfect marriage of flashy and gritty combat choreography.

W4E2P1S1V2M2A1R1. Doesn't have the emotional depth of the first one, but Keanu Reeves is still the perfect actor to play a doe-eyed-yet-invincible assassin. The look like he's constantly about to cry makes you tolerate the 007-like survival luck.

I didn't like the fantastical world building of the otherwise relatively grounded first movie, this one leans into it and somehow comes out better for it. The hall of mirrors is good but should have slowed down to let it breathe some. I would have like a much longer spackling scene also. The generic assassins get dispatched in repetitive ways, they should be fewer in number and more creatively handled. The bullet proof is dumb, though the alternative would be to give the goons worse aim.

Quite Matrix-like in fleshing out its world through an additional cast of side characters. The gunfights remain fresh and the silencer shootout in the metro station is the funniest damn thing I've seen in a thriller. But at two hours long, you start thinking that it has one too many melee combat scenes.

Storywise there was nothing new. Love. Vengeance. Retirement. Killing. Revenging. But you are not seeing John Wick because of the story. But for Keanu Reeves. And action. Some bizarre way of mine I liked it. A lot of well choreographed scenes.

If the first movie of the series suffer of certain insecurity and certain narrative fragilities, those weaknesses are not present in Chapter 2. Chapter 2 is a strong work, confident of itself. It's like, after seeing the big success of the first movie they were confident enough to push the work to the place it should be. Great plot, soundtrack, outstanding edition, solid direction, decent acting. Stating the obvious: John Wick is a GREAT character.

I might make the argument that despite rating them the same, this is a little better than the first. The first had the novelty of being a big surprise, but this ups it in the sense that there is a bigger threat (spoiler: all those other killers being let loose on him). It's more of the same, which is great; excellent mixture of gun and martial arts violence, little details like how he "jabs" his gun to be more aggressive are still there. Awesome.

More of the same, and in a stronger dose, although this time we know what's coming. Wick 2 pushes the boundaries of videogame-style shootout action, with long takes and incredible focus on Wick's precision of movement, economy of bullets, surgical execution style and mastery of the enemy AI. It's the closest we've come to watching a teenager speedrun the latest FPS. The world-building is there but characters are not as developed as in Wick 1. Cool but I don't really need more films of this ilk.

There is a certain classy way in which this movie and it's prequel are made. Keanu Reeves as John Wick is a human killing machine. You don't want to balk at the absurdity of it all because he pulls it off so well. Don't miss the opening car chase sequence. If you liked the first one you are sure to like this one more.

When it slows down, it sloooooooooooows down. And the little bits of background world building were still cool, but more confusing this time which is not good. And some how the set up felt more contrived than "they killed my dog" which is surprising. All that said, most of the film was action scenes. And like John Wick 1, those do not disappoint.

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 is a notable addition to the canon of action sequels--such as CRANK 2 and TRANSPORTER 2--that gleefully sever any vestigial links to reality and double down on implausible insanity. Keanu Reeves is the perfect stoic straight man in a film full of reckless gunplay, not to mention gloriously bizarre details about the international criminal underworld. (The secret hotel for assassins was just for starters.) Gratuitously violent and barely redeeming--a real guilty pleasure.

One thing I loved about the first movie was the super efficient world-building through mostly just hints and insinuation. It's a lot more explicit in this one, and it suffers for it. But the action is still great.

The bad is the plot is almost an exact copy of the first one but without as much intensity going in. It rehashes the same motivations and never takes the character to any depths we haven't already seen him go. Plus, come on, everyone in NY is part of this society? Now, the good is amazing action scenes, a brilliant climax/Enter the Dragon homage, exploring this world of assassins a little deeper, and by the end, it feels like we actually are in a new place plotwise. Hopefully 3 does better.

Chapter 2 is more so the first one with a little bigger budget, and it shows in it's brighter and aesthetic visuals. Once again, major props to the stunt director and choreography team, making the fun very polished as well. However, this franchise's biggest issue is it's story and character motivations, which are either paper thin or nonexistent. If this franchise continues on, it will need substance, as Keanu himself won't save these from becoming repetitive.

The action is not that good, terrible to be honest. He's certainly capable of better, as seen in the man of tai chi. But the atmosphere is electric and the mystery of the underground world was enough to lure me in.

John Wick: Chapter 2 improves upon its predecessor in many ways, and yet levels out into being of similar quality when all is said and done. Gone is the occasionally sloppy editing of the first, now able to perfectly portray the frenetic action that Stahelski excels at choreographing. The plot is consistently strong, and gaining more insight into the inner workings of this world is nothing short of a delight. Notably overlong and more than a touch derivative, but Mr. Wick is in top form.

After John Wick, I was anticipating the inevitable sequel, but, I don't think anyone expected it to be this good, providing a great story and still just as brutal action. Even though I don't think the kill drive was as strong in this one, it is still just as enjoyable.

Occasionally 2 much like watching over shoulder of someone playing a 1st person shooter. Stylish, kinetic action scenes. Lots of violence but not gross. Keanu highly athletic (age defying) in action scenes (there are MANY) but still a mannequin when tries 2 'act'. World = absurd but 4 thought-free series of cool action scenes it is top notch; 1 on 1 fight (halted by landing in hotel lobby) is particularly impressive. Nameless Pittie dog is my fav character ;-) Shallow, amoral, silly, great fun.

John Wick: Chapter 2 turns it up a notch, making an action movie even more stylish and energetic than the last. This means it's also twice as self-indulgent, but with higher stakes and a better adversary, this sequel does everything it needs to in order to be as good as -- or might I say better than -- the first.
