I may be a little late but what did you think about it compared to the first one? I thought it was decently well done but there were a couple scenes I thought were kind of stupid. The shooting through the water fountain (blind shooting with people everywhere?) and shooting in the subway with silencers (again people everywhere? Nobody seemed to notice? right...?). The assassin guild was kind of overdone a'bit much, It seemed every other person on the street was one. Although on a whole the assassin guild thing was pretty interesting as they don't go into it much in the first one and I wanted to know more about it. And lastly what is the golden rectangle thing he pulls from the bikers jacket in the opening scene? It looks like a phone but its not? There is nothing about it in the rest of the movie except in the next scene he is at the taxi lot. I assume it somehow let him find that place but what the hell is it?

It was a keycard, he used it to break into the smuggling ring to reacquire his car.

Enjoyed the movie as much as the first one. One rollercoaster ride of nonstop violence and mayhem. Really glad about the dog, fuckers better not do anything to the dog in the third one.
Glad we got to see him kill with a "fucking pencil" I was kind of disappointed at the end though, would've liked to see him have to fight his way across the city.
Hope that we actually get to see that in the third one and not just fast forward to later.

Movie was great. The long shot action scenes are a great example of what can be done if you don't need to hire a stunt double. More actors should take the initiative to learn how to do most of their own stunts.

i just watched John Wick 2 tonight and it really started off good with the car scene! :)

the rest of the movie was okay but not as good as the first one imo.

i think the first one was better because you didn't know how his style of killing was and learned it through the first movie. part 2 was just a bunch of the same action scenes as part 1 but with a different plot.

i liked John Wick 2 but the first one was way more intense imo! ^_^

Just watched this last night.

Was pretty good, It's one of those movies you can put on in the background and not have to follow to hard.

Action seems pretty bloody good and story line works well. Its not a film ill be rushing to watch again but definitely worth the watch.
