John Wick Chapter 2 Movie Review

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

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
