So we're on the same page, I did watch this movie...just feels like I've seen it 100 times before. You can only write a script about the bad guys pissing off the innocent by standard "that happens to be ex-special ops" so many times. Hell, if he was a cook, it could have been played by Steven Seagal. Put him in a fireman outfit, could have been Jean Claude. Honestly, the role that fit this guy best - Bill and Ted's.


To create some battle words with you Speed/Matrix lovers - Jack Reacher > John Wick Reacher would kick Wicks ass inside out...and then flip it a second time, turning into itself like a tight ball of rubber bands.

I enjoyed the movie. I guess I set my expectations based on the type of movie it is. Some I'm more critical about. Some I let slide with a lot of things. It'll be interesting what the second Wick movie brings.

But with the discussion about how movies like this are just rehashes of the same thing, I miss what The Professional brought to the table. I thought it was a unique twist on a common formula. I also liked the cinematography and camera shots of various scenes.

Keanu does a great job in action movies... Period!

Tom Cruise has never won an Oscar either. But no one does it like he does action like he does. And there's a reason he is among the highest paid: His movie kill it at the box office $$$$!

This.

I like certain movies as much as the next person. If I want to see certain things, I watch certain movies. Cinematograph and vistas, Lawrence of Arabia. It simply cannot be matched. Great acting, too many to choose from.

Action, Jason S, Arnold S, Keanu R, T Cruise, S. L. Jackson, et al.

I go in, strap down, and get ready to go for a ride. I willingly suspend disbelief.
That is what I go to a movie for. Anything else, I'd almost always rather read the book.
Cheers-mk

Wow. 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's pretty awesome for an action movie sequel. Especially, when you compare it to that horrible Jack Reacher sequel. Looking forward to seeing it.

Entertained for just over 2 hours.

Saw it tonight with my son. Jumped right in and action kept moving along briskly. Lost count of how many John Wick personally killed. Had to be well over 100. Mostly shot, some stabbed, a couple broken necks, a couple with a pencil.

Slightly unbelievable. But expected.

Very good sequel for what it was. Don't take it seriously and it's great for the genre. Supporting actors made the movie.

I'd give it

saw the movie and tons of action and of course he is a little too bulletproof . haha .

also I cant help but laugh when Keanu says serious statements like example " tell them i'll kill them all " .... . just not so great at those type of scripts . some actors can do this Keanu cant. just stick to the action and not much talk . hahaaaa

Extremely entertaining movie. A little gruesome but I can look past that given how engaging the movie was. I will be watching chapter 3.

Saw it tonight.

Exactly what I expected. Nonstop blood letting.

Highly recommend this flick if you liked/loved the first movie.

Can't wait for Chapter 3
