John Wick: Chapter 2 (February 10, 2017)

[Jefe]

It's raining and cold af, but we here. LET'S ROCK.

[Xno Kappa]

Showed up to a massive crowd of ugly fat fuck housewives drunk on cheap wine. Was a terrifying sight to see, and instantly thought I would have to John Wick these bitches to prevent them from ruining this once in a lifetime experience. The wifey then reminded me 50 shades of white privileges opened tonight too and was reliefed to hear I wouldn't be subjected to a theater reeking of raisinets and desperate fantasies.

HOLY SHIT WHAT A MOVIE!!! Easily met and exceeded all expectations. I would say this edges out the first, but this one is not as godliek on quotables lol. Chapter 2 was damn near a perfection of a frenetically paced, beautifully choreographed, well acted, world-building action movie. So many memorable scenes! Tyven ain't exaggerating when he says they can make this shit into an MMO too lol. Really built upon on the first and introduced some cool ass grand-scale concepts.

Spoiler: show

"John I have one question, are you here to see the Pope?"
....
"No"

Too damn hilarious how so many were asking him round about ways if he was working again lmao.

I'm going tonight hopefully. Reviews got me SO FUCKING READY FOR KEANU

I was really worried from some of the trailers that they'd jump the shark with all the anachronistic stuff. Typewriters, analog switchboards, etc. What made the world so great from the first one was the very believable way the Underground was integrated into modern society.

I've never been so happy to be so wrong. 10/10

"Gas leak John?"
...
"Yeah"

[Inshiya]

Really different feel from the first movie, and most of the emotional cues felt forced this time (like, let's try and siphon out some more wife death sympathy to get some of the same emotional resonance as the first movie).

Some of the scenes felt more humorous that serious even, and the cameos from previous movie actors seemed out of place often and gimmicky.

With that being said, still a fun movie with great action sequences. Not a re-watchable classic like the first, but still a fun movie.

Get the fuck out

[Inshiya]

Oh I'm sorry, I meant to say this movie is like when you nut and the girl keeps sucking, you'll all love it.

Carry on.

[Mythe_Seraph]

That's right!

[Odesseiron]

Fuck.

What a movie. Went in totally blind minus the trailer from like 5 months ago. So glad I did. Exceeded my expectations in every single way. I'm gonna have to see this again.

Oh yeah son. The first 30 minutes clearly sucked because it actually paid homage to the first. Such a shitty movie.

My only MINOR complaint with the movie is one thing. It's not story related, so I won't tag it. His fighting style. It's a great fighting style, but god damn. Incorporate some other moves in there aside from that "Kneeling Fireman's Carry" (I don't know the proper martial arts name of the move, only wrestling...lol)

Anyway, we see the move used like... a dozen times? We get it. That's how he fights. Can you have another couple moves in there? Anyway, if that's the most I can complain about I'd say it's a pretty great movie.

That they take the time to world build like this for an action franchise is just amazing.

Wick is my new Die Hard

He used a ton of non-traditional BJJ moves, but I can see how that's lost on the crowd. The armbar control was admittedly overused in some fight scenes.

Oh I know, it's just the one they focus so much on.

The fireman's carry is called kata gurama, or a shoulder wheel

Throws and sweeps:
