Worse than first movie

Rating: 5/10 (16 February 2017)

Sequels have a tough time. In order to repeat commercial success of the first part, they need to keep exploiting the same elements or develop a story. Only sequels that manage to develop a story are truly interesting in my opinion. In case of John Wick only innovative element was new gun-fu tactics which looked cool. Sequel should have been all about developing the story. Instead they decided to blow up repetitive gun-fu moves out of proportion and triple the ridiculousness which is not saved merely by suspending disbelief. John Wick 2 is like too sweet cake which produces nausea and bloating instead of feeling of pleasant satiety. 5/10 for eye candy, 3/10 as a sequel.
