Sequels are never as good.

Rating: 2/10 (16 July 2018)

Watching John Wick: Chapter 2.
I was really looking forward to sitting down to a nice meal and watching a sequel with the understanding that it may not be as good as the first. They never are.
Sadly Stahelski must have spent 90% of the budget on the location and a big party overlooking Rome with hookers and cocaine.
The writing is so bad I think they owed the writer money from a previous production. They also owe money to the supporting actors, cinematographers, sets, costume, lighting, sound, fight scene choreography, any other choreography, editing, music, vehicle support, stunts and pyrotechnics. In fact the whole movie is such a clustermuck that I think they may have even scrimped on catering, assistants and accomodation too.
The problem is I'm 60 minutes in (it's a train wreck) and IMDB says it's 122 minutes long. I'm curious if it gets any worse.
Cannot believe there is actually a John Wick 3.
