Wow. Studio shills abound - this movie is terrible

Rating: 2/10 (1 March 2017)

More and more, big budget films that happen to be rubbish suddenly have one-review users writing glowing 10-star reviews. Some of the quotes in the 10-star reviews for John Wick are absolutely laughable. "Best action film of the decade, superior to the original in every way". NO WAY.
It a terrible film. The action scenes are well choreographed, but highly repetitive, monotonous and unengaging. Not a single head shot compares to the impact of ones in The Town or The Departed for example. Its like watching a kid play a video game. The bits between are flat, hypnotically boring, and border on the absolute stupid in places. Its often like watching a weird dream, like The Neon Demon if written by morons.
The first had heart and soul, and was likable and engaging for that reason. The sequel doesn't. Its hard to appreciate even in a mindless late-night who-cares kind of way, because its that unengaging.
The cinematography was nice in places, and I enjoyed the soundtrack.
But shame on the marketing team for employing fake reviews, a really sad strategy.
