John Wick: Chapter 2

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2020)

Chad Stahelski took over the director's chair once again, but alone this time around. John Wick: Chapter 2 was everything I wanted to see in a sequel. The story picks up right where it leaves off; giving us more information on what we wanted to know about, leaving the theaters after the first film.
Derek Kolstad did another great job with the script, even though it didn't pack as much emotion as the first. Stahelski leaned away from the emotional side, and packed this sequel with even more eye catching, gritty, high intensity action scenes. Some of the action scenes did seem a tad recycled, but it was still done exceptionally well by Keanu Reeves, and the amazing stunt team.
Overall, this movie may not have been quite the breath of fresh air that the first movie was, but it was still a very good sequel, setting up for a great third film.
