#2 is never better than #1. How many movies have even got close enough to even being an equal to #1? GodfatherII then what movie? It’s just too high of a bar.
I like John Wick. Reaves was made for that brooding part. I’ll go see it in the movie theatre this time. [Reply]

Aliens, Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight.
Its usually comedy sequels that cant live up. Hard to catch that lightening in a bottle again. [Reply]

Aliens and Terminator 2 say hi.
And I know I'm in the minority on this, but I liked Batman Begins far more than Dark Knight, which was the first step of Nolan's long and annoying slide into making films with more and more ridiculously and needlessly labyrinthine plots.
As for John Wick 2, it was okay. Liked the first one better. The three-gun match in the middle was fun, though. [Reply]

You not off at all and those examples are rare. Usually the first lays the groundwork and in the case of John Wick was a great one where nobody was expecting it. Still enjoyed the 2nd though and certainly had its moments like the tunnel. [Reply]

One of his trainers said he was so good at it that he could probably do it professionally if he really wanted to. They said the same about Will Smith when he was training for Suicide Squad, too.
