a bit long for so little story

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2017)

The first John Wick had a perfect run time. Its sequel tacks on 20 minutes more but doesn't do well at filling that time. To that end, the Ares character played by Ruby Rose was too shallow and was poorly acted. They could have cut her out entirely. There were one or two other weak elements that I wished they'd have worked harder on.
That said, the first two-thirds of the flick was decent and lived up to the original. For any John Wick fan, you will certainly find something to enjoy.
Overall, I was happy enough with the movie that I'd be willing to see the next one.
