The Perfect Sequel

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2017)

John Wick Chapter 2 is the perfect sequel. In chapter 2 they do an amazing job of building on the first film. They go deeper into the mythology of the assassin world. John Wick is the most bad ass action character I have ever seen. The action choreography is so detailed and so mind blowing. It is incredible how the talented the director is at shooting all of these action scenes. They make your jaw drop every time. There are more hand to hand fighting scenes in chapter 2 than the first film which was awesome! The GUN-FU is just as great in chapter 2 as it was in the first film possibly even better. John Wick is killing every body just like in the first film but the best part of chapter 2 is that there is more of a story build up that helps explain the world he lives in and it is fascinating to see how the whole world works. I could go on and on about this film but I do not want to give to much away. Keanu Reeves is a real life black belt and he trains extensively with guns which is why he is able to almost all of his own stunts and his hard work definitely shows up in the film. Although chapter 2 is not as personal and emotional as the first film I believe it is just as good if not better because it still has the same style of action and humor as the first film while going into a more detailed story line. I believe the director Chad Stahelski has set a new standard for action films. He has became my new favorite director. He should inspire more stuntmen to become directors. I am a huge action movie fan and the first John Wick is one of my favorite movies of all time so I had very high expectations for the second film and I got exactly what I wanted to see. John Wick Chapter 2 is a 10 out of 10! I cant wait to see it again and eventually add it to my blu ray collection.
