Enjoyed this a lot, it feels like the realization of what the first one promised but didn't quite deliver. There is much more world building and the action and fights are actually impressive as opposed to 'impressive for an american movie not starring Scott Adkins'. There are some really intricate long shot hand to hand takes, Keanu must have been beasting in fight training. Even Common comes off as a fairly believable badass for a change. There are tons of knowing but unobtrusive references to classic action and giving Nero a small role was a really nice touch as well. Big thumbs up from me.

I haven't seen John wick 1. but I saw this last night because I needed something to do with my uncle other than talk about how he literally believes in the illuminati and other insane shit. like this dude is one of those people that believes that basically everything is a conspiracy (which he calls doing 'philosophy')

anyway. the movie. the absurdity of it is so ridonkulous. the style is so fucking silly. I now know why I avoided John wick 1 but maybe 1 is better. but like ugh. I prefer the comic book stuff I guess for my action. at least compared to this.

Awesome action. lots of great kills. Absolutely ridiculous and absurd movie otherwise but I suppose that's the point.
Every word keanu says is comedy and his scenes with Common in particular are like watching a scene from "The Room".
The homeless mafia syndicate was one of the funniest ideas ever. holy shit. I was just waiting for him to call the pigeon lord "Morpheus" cause why the fuck not?

finally seen it and indeed it was dope, like how they expanded the world a bit though they still didn't explain the coins smh.

like how is it he gives only 1 coin for a room yet when they are at the bar it was 1 coin for 2 drinks?

So much good gun work in this one. You can tell Keanu did a lot of training with the 3 gun guys. And so man mag changes. Glorious, glorious mag changes.
