John Wick Chapter 2 Movie Review
A Fantastic Action Packed Sequel
John Wick Chapter 2 is a phenomenal film! I've seen it multiple times, and each time I watch it, it just gets better.
John Wick Chapter 2 starts out a little after the first movie has ended. John has gotten his revenge and now wants to go back into retirement. Yet when he is called upon to fulfill a promise he made long time ago, he refuses. Thus the hunter becomes the hunted.
John Wick Chapter 2 is great. If you haven't read my review for the first film, I'd recommend doing so, and also watching the first film too. Keanu Reeves is back and as good as ever. I swear that man is the best action star of this decade. When we think of action stars, we think of Indiana Jones, John McClane, Rick O'Connell, James Bond, and now we can add John Wick to such an epic list.
John Wick Chapter 2 seems to be a bit more stylized than the first film. The colors are more dramatic, and it adds to the overall tone of the film. And it makes sense for what they're going for, it's not over the top. They work in the color scheme just enough to make the perfect impact.
Keanu Reeves is by far a one of the best actors out right now. Yet again he seems in his element as John Wick. He encompasses the roll so well, I cannot see any other actor playing the part. I applaud him for such a great performance.
Another thing I really enjoyed about the film is that we get to see more of this assassin's world. It's fleshed out more and seems natural. Again this movie as like the pervious does a show don't tell when it come to world building most of the time. It's cool how we as the audience get to see John Wick interact with everything in the most badass way possible.
I would have loved to have been the director for John Wick Chapter 2. I can't imagine how much fun it would have been to direct this film. Chad Stahelski, I applaud you sir, good job!
The action scenes themselves are fantastic. They build upon the scenes from the previous movie, and they give so much more. It's thrilling and I can't get enough!
If you enjoyed the first film, then you'll like the second. Hands down this is such a fantastic franchise. I think this series might be one of the defining franchises in the action genre. Seriously, go out and watch, John Wick Chapter 2.
final score: 4.5/5
