How to Make an Action Movie 101

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2017)

John Wick: Chapter 2 follows John Wick after the events of the first movie as he is pulled yet again into the criminal underworld for one last job, held to it by an old debt.
This movie is almost non-stop action. It features some of the greatest, most intense fighting scenes I've ever seen, and I had an absolute blast. And yet, the reason why it's such a perfect action movie is because the story and the characters are compelling enough to keep the audience invested in what's happening, thus creating better tension and excitement during these exquisite action scenes. And even more, the movie builds upon the world that the original set up, making it just that much deeper and more interesting.
Overall John Wick: Chapter 2 is everything an action movie should be. This is a short review, I know, but there isn't much to talk about in all honesty. It's an action movie where the action really is the best part. It's not a deep, plot-driven drama, nor is it an intelligent science fiction story. It's an action movie, which tends to be judged on a scale all it's own. This was a complete blast at the movies, but it wasn't just dumb fun. It's a near perfect action movie, and I can't wait for Chapter 3. In the end I would definitely recommend this movie.
