Keep your expectations in check. It's about 60% as good

You already saw it? What makes it not as good? Is the action less impressive or the plot worse?

Do you mean how it had gunshots tied to the music or something else?

 

[dhonk]

cg blood sucks

I would have liked the movie twice as much if they used squibs.

I saw an advance screening last month.

The first act is really messy. Didn't care for it, though there is a really fucking awesome Montage where he preps and it is cool.

Second act is pretty awesome. Third act is ok.

The villain is eh. Lacks the charm of the villain from 1.

The ending isn't bad... I thought. Is a cliffhanger to set up for three.

The assassin world stuff continues to be the best part.

I totally forgot that bit when he put a new clip in, so cool lol.

Cool. Thanks! I agree that the world building stuff with the tokens and the Continental were great in 1, and what helped it overcome the fairly weak plot otherwise.

Between John Wick and Equalizer it's good to have some really solid action franchises going.

He's not talking about the cuts, but every bit of footage having a (weirdly) lower framerate.

Don't watch it on your xbox one.

Just a few more weeks for some Wick!

 

[MrBS]

Well that's a fantastic bit of hype. It makes me want to rewatch the first but I'll hold off until closer to release of Chapter 2.

John wick is entering deadpool marketing territory

So, sounds like a rental. Good to know.

Or, as an alternative, make up your own mind.

"symphony if violence", right in the heart of my fourteen year old self

[AuthenticM]

This is fantastic.

Earlier in the thread he said that it's about 60% as good as John Wick.

That still makes it 2-3 times better than most action movies that come out.*

* Scott Steiner math, but in this case it's correct.
