Review of John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) by Heyitsfranklin — 12 Feb 2017

Really enjoyed this one even though the first one was better in my opinion. Like most people are saying the action is great. I wasn't too fond of the huge expansion of the hitman underworld. What I liked about the first one was the hitman underworld felt like a small population were involved as assassins.

Its cool that it's international but having a huge percentage of hitman in New York was pretty ridiculous which is my little nit pick. The second one lacked the emotional connection from the original since John Wick had a personal motivation to do what he had to get done.

All in all I had a fun time and I got my money's worth. It was fun hearing the audience's reaction during many of the scenes. In a time where action films are eclipsed by Comic book movies, Star Wars films, and the abrasive Fast series(which should've ended at 7), it's nice to have a small Hollywood production gem with relatively grounded fight scenes, minimal cgi, and awesome stunts; i.

E., the John Wick series.
