Great movie.

A rare case of sequel being better than the first one.

John wick has become the new benchmark.

James bond,bourne, vin diesel,expendables,etc etc whatever action movie after this,.

If u cant do half as good as this one,u guys might just gtfo.

Why? :

-lots of action movie have builds up.simple example is recent triple X. or old bond movie.

Theres so much hype on the protagonist,but so little proof to back that up.

John wick isnt one of those movie.it has tons of proofs.

U really convince on why people scared of him.

He more than earn that "boogeyman" nickname.

And the camera work is perfect, but not moving a lot (like the recent triple x).

This is by no means a bad thing.

Because a) we can see whats going on.

And b) because the action is just geniune pure excellent.

No need **** camera work to over compensate or "help" the action.

Its already good on its on.the camera just need to stay put.

-very cool.

Using the same examples, those movie rely on sleek 1 liner to showcase its coolness.

But john wick cool,because the world its in is cool.

The somalier of gun,.

The tactical suit tailor.

Every conversation,every interaction ,ooze uber epic coolness.

Theres no pointless cheesy 1 liner.

John wick show his "cool" thru his movement. every single one of it.

-love the side characters. the villain, laurence fishburne, winston the manager.

But all of them are squeezed and used and then throw away.

All to build up john wick character.all to showcase his brilliance.

A brave move,i respect that.

But I prefer to see laurence more.

And that gun somalier.

-very good movie.
