Holy shit, I loved John Wick 1.
Can't believe they are one-upping it with the 2nd chapter.

Might need to break away to watch this in theaters...

...and I don't think I'll be able to get over Laurence Fishburne and Keanu Reeves being in the same movie without immediately thinking of The Matrix.

The red pill. Definitely the red pill.

Extremely enjoyable, and some of the most unique and graphic kills I've ever seen in a movie (those who've seen it will know the scene I speak of).

Although a similar trope to the first film, it's a much different universe, so they feel a lot different.

The first film was a low-budget noir action film that was extremely efficient. They described a single criminal organization and a small subculture surrounding it. Chapter 2 is significantly more ambitious, and because of that it feels like a much different movie--it's similar to how the Fast and Furious films changed after FF4. It feels a little retconn-y at times.

I liked the first movie more, but that is also probably due to how much it surprised me and the performances by actors like Nyquist (Vigo), and Marcus (Defoe).

Regardless, I'd still highly recommend this to anyone who liked the first, or likes films that make heavy use of Gun-Fu (Equilibrium, Hard Boiled, etc.).

I'm looking forward to seeing this, but probably next weekend. Reeves is awesome in these movies. I also like the fact that he seriously trains with real weapons.

Yeah, saw that. Pretty impressive. I think his firearms trainer actually said that Canoe could legit compete in a firearms competition if he wanted (maybe said that just to fluff him, who knows). There is some video floating around here showing his martial arts training. He took this quite seriously, working long hours just to get it down. It was pretty impressive as well.

And thanks for the review, Hamas. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Oh he absolutely could. I've done a few three gun matches and he's better than most. Certainly far better than my old fat ass. :-)

I liked it a lot, but the last minute or two just felt deflated. Yeah, yeah, we know you're going to make another one.
