What did you guys think of John Wick: Chapter 2? I thought it was great and had amazing action. My only nitpick is the fact that the beginning-middle was a bit slow, but it picked itself up real quick. Overall, a better movie than the first.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. Just ok. The villains just take me out of the movie. People not shooting and waiting til John Wick is finished killing their friends. The Dr. Evil like main villain finding unnecessary and elaborate plans to get the good guy. Good action, but meh story. The only thing that saved this film was the continental and Ian McShane.

I liked the pace. You can't have an entire movie with just killings and nothing else! I liked it more than the first one. It had violence like it should have. Not too gory, and we got to have a better understanding of why everyone's afraid of him. And the scene with the pencil.... Loved it! I'm still hyped.

Absolutely loved it.. better than the first for me and my friends It's not much of a story oriented franchise so who goes to watch John wick for plot ? It's about bloody gunfu and damn it was the best

The first still stands as best. I told my daughter this was Empire Strikes Back & then saw an interview where the director said yeah, Lucas was an inspiration. Also there are 3 films. Period on this end. Beyond this he'll entertain a prequel set.
It gets Wick back in the game when we know he was out.

Save for a bit of a lull in the middle, the action in this was relentless! Akin to both The Raid movies, I came out of the cinema sweating.
Story-wise I probably preferred the first one. For pure unadulterated action, Chapter 2 wins hands down in my opinion.

Never cared for the first one. should I bother with this one? If you didn't like the first one, this is more of the same with a different twist. I thought there was more character development in the first. The 2nd is more world building/expansion with action.

B+ I liked it.
Not as fresh as the first, which I give a strong A, yet how could it be, not least of all leaving it for a third installment.

I liked it much more than the last one. My husband loved the last movie so much I bought him the Blu Ray. He wanted me to watch it but I can't stand animals being hurt in films so I didn't want to see it. He finally wore me down but, I hid my eyes and he muted the sad scene that sets him off. We went to see part two last Monday and I loved it! I thought it was so much better than the first one. I thought the scenes in the museum were great.

I rarely do that, but I walked out of the movie after an hour or so. I figured it was probably the last scene with Franco Nero so at least i saw his part

Chapter 2 felt a bit forced compared to the first one. It wasnt bad but emotionally the first one was better.

Better than the first one when it came to the action and exploration of the criminal underworld set up in the John Wick series. The first one I'd say still is the better film just as an adrenaline rush and because of the whole buzz over it being unexpectedly good.

I found it a bit lighter and more fun than the first but without the dead wife and murdered dog driving him it came off as a much dumber film.

I agree the first one was a bit "dumber" but to me it was so much more fun! I really liked the simplicity. Liked both installments so far, but truly loved only the first one.
