If I Could Give This Movie Less Than 1, I Would!

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2020)

I stumbled upon John Wick 2 while flipping channels. After hearing various humans rave about John Wick 3, I decided to watch #2. Terrible film: 1) Keanu Reeves' offered not a whit of acting. He merely walked around 'trying' to appear menacing. 2) Numerous shootouts and nominal story does not result in a good film. 3) The fight/gun choreography was silly. Dozens of mercenaries with a variety of weaponry, were all incapable of incapacitating Wick. 4) Wick was essentially hurt throughout the movie, yet he was at all times better than his adversaries... ridiculous. 5) Wick is also the stupidest assassin on the planet. He was tasked to eliminate a character who chose to commit suicide in front of him. Yet, he also shot the target when he did not have to. He was under no time pressure (they were engaged in casual banter without urgency), so he could have simply waited to ensure the target was dead and then vanished. A perfect assassination, right? Instead, by shooting the target, he ensured a sense of corruption associated with the death. Further, he could have escaped unseen - as he had arrived - but Wick tried to leave in/among a crowd. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
