Great movie, but it didn't have that simple enjoyable feeling like the first one did. In the first one you thought John Wick and Marcus were one of few hitmen, but now it looks like 90% of NY is assassins. Kinda takes away John's intimidation, doesn't it?

There are millions of people in NYC and only a couple thousand assassins. Shut the fuck up.

It doesn't take it away. If 99% of NY are assassins and John is still regarded in fear as the Boogeyman, I would say he must be a pretty fucking scary assassin.

That said, I know what you mean though. It didn't really make sense that so many people were assassins, but it will be cool in the next movie when he has to get in his car with his dog and drive across country to escape New York.

So you think that only a few assassins are enough for a massive guild that can give you expensive guns and huge hotels as protection?

>tfw that poor dog has no home
>tfw that poor dog will be John's weak point and some asshole will attempt killing him
>tfw just don't want the dog to die

What I didn't like was the ending. With the way the first one ended, the story was allowed to go in whatever direction it wanted to. Now John basically has to be on the run.

I wish he had an easy life ;_;

The first was a better and more memorable action movie in my opinion. The second one is way better with its cinematography, use of color, metaphors, and themes. The ending with this felt really anticlimactic and made this movie feel like an excuse to set up "John Wick vs the world". In any case, it did a good job at being an excuse to set up a third movie.

>that casual walking shootout between Keanu and Common in a busy subway

Best part of the movie. If I remember anything from this movie in a year, it will definitely be that scene.

No because Wick is the best of them all. Hence why everyone shits their pants when they hear his name.

Will he get his car back though? It seems like friendship doesn't mean shit to these guys. Might have before in the first movie when the entire lore wasn't set up

Regardless of how it compares to the first one, its such a relief to see something that isn't capeshit or based off a book

I'm sure plenty of people know to not fuck with Wick even if they'll be set for life if they kill him.

First for cutie of the movie.

Think she is going to show up in the next one? We didn't see her actually die and the old rule about Hollywood is that a person is not dead until we see the body.

>when she draws the knife and theres a close up of her ass

>built up to be a badass
>first 5 seconds of fighting Wick does cool flippy shit
>thrown around like a ragdoll and killed

Well she is a woman and John Wick is a really strong and capable dude.

>that /k/ porn
>those weapon reloads and tactical movements
holy fucking shit everyone runs out of ammo and needs to reload or pick up a new gun
>those martial arts and gun-fu
10/10 from a /k/ standpoint

If nothing else, these movies are absolutely fan-fucking-tastic in the choreography department.

I'd ruby her rose if you catch my drift

>she will never let you penetrate her boipucci
JUST

you are a man after my own heart, italian hitler-haircutfu is best wick-waifu

I'm willing to bet the third movie starts with Wick being picked up by a fishing boat and him becoming an amnesiac.

"""(((The guardian)))"""

>when you make operator-kino that's so good it remilitarizes the youth
truly a masterwork of /k/ino

F

Calling it now. John's wife didn't die from an illness, she was poisoned by a rival assassin.

Is Keanu supposed to be a bad actor on purpose or what? I don't get it

>cars constantly impact John's legs
>stands up and fights as if nothing happened

For what purpose?

He is limping almost the entire movie though.

Although it was entertaining, I was slightly disappointed that they would discard their usually realistic gunplay for that one scene. Considering how loud even subsonic rounds are even with a suppressor, the other people would definitely have noticed.

To make him more angry and awaken his sharingan

Sorry, but "silencers" are one trope that will never die in Hollywood.

>killed
Are we sure about that? I mean, she does get beaten up and stabbed, but the blade only penetrated about an inch into her chest. Most knife fighting experts say that you need at least 5-6 inches of penetration to reliable hit the vitals and kill someone. Sure, she could have bled out, but I seriously doubt that there weren't any more of her squad hanging around to back her up.

Did Common's character die? Couldn't tell whether or not he was meant to still be alive.

Eh, everybody in the movie shot guns indoors and in echoey caves and were still able to hold conversations without shouting over the tinnitus.
Just turn off the autism and enjoy the action.

If they wanted him dead, they would have killed him with a bullet to the head

I'm pretty sure shes dead. I think the scene was done in parallel to Common's character. He stabs her in the same place, but unlike common, who he gave a chance to live by leaving the knife in, he tore it out of her.

could also have been a dig at movie silencers. I think the writers knew how absurd and humorous the scene was. Anyway, that's the way I'm going to keep interpreting it.

That little push knife couldn't have gotten more than an inch into her chest though. Factoring in the hand it went through, breasts, the pectorals and the ribcage, it had no way of reaching the aorta, unlike Cassian's rather long knife.
Even if John killed literally every other assassin in the vicinity, I feel like she could have called for help. You could probably survive for the 5-10 minutes it would take for some buddies to come get you medical attention.

>I feel like she could have called for help
She is mute though lol

Even if you're mute you could probably text "yo help me bruh" to your closest surviving accomplice.
But I'm probably doing some mental gymnastics just because I really liked her character and want to see her again.

No dude, it's common unconscious, John was basically invisible in the mob. Only loud sound would scare it away.

I'm not arguing that realistically she could survive, and if she does appear in JW3 I won't screech and cry bullshit, but I just think from a writing perspective it was done similarly to Cassian's scene for a reason. I would love for her to come back and get some Wick dick. Unless they brought back the fine piece of ass

This. I haven't seen the first one. Why does he act like a robot the whole movie?

>wick dick
She clearly had a thing for the guy who hired her.

>tfw thought she might be a guy for a second
>tfw relieved to find out I'm not gay

maybe, but hes fucking dead now.

I hope they do John Wick Chapter 0 before chapter 3.

I want to see the "impossible task".

Looks like the mafia is a bunch of pussies compared to Wick's new challenge

I really don't
>It doesn't matter where she is it's impossible
>scene goes on for a few more lines about John talking about how it's impossible to get to her
>ends up being literally no worse than trying to shoot Theon in the club
>only snag was the mute backstabbing him.

Well they are making a comic book so...

>I want you to do this job (and I will kill you after it is done)
>Oh you don't want to? Say goodbye to your house
What a brain dead villain. Wick just got off a warpath where he killed EVERYONE who got in the way. There was no way he'd get away after blowing up Wick's house even if he didn't backstab him after the job. Especially since Wick was friends with his sister.

>5-6 inches of penetration into her vitals

>Kinda takes away John's intimidation, doesn't it?
not really, did you not see how many people he killed in the movie and how? John Wick isn't even a real person and I was sitting in the theater scared.

...

thats how i saw it

how does she keep getting job in so many blockbusters wtf

it should be a video game.

qt as fuck

It's a sequel with a big number 2 on it. I don't think it deserves any credit for "at least it's original".

I watched 1 and 2 back to back and 2 was significantly worse:

>way too much fucking talking
>set pieces were backdrops to the fight scenes ever rather than conducive to them.
>over reliance on quirky underworld
>HOLY SHIT SO MUCH FUCKING TALKING

The one good fight scene they had (assassins in New York) was broken up with shit directing. It's like they forgot what made the first movie good (simple action without a bunch of fat).

2 is way better. 1 is nothing compared to it.

He's always acted like this. Have you seen this movie called The Matrix

You know... whoever wrote that has issues.

Sure, if you like shitty exposition, constant over explaining, and fist fights with lackluster direction.

I liked it, but have to agree I enjoyed the first one more by quite a bit. That open ending or "cliffhanger" was a huge letdown. I don't want to wait 2 fucking years to see the turnout of a barely superior Jason Bourne flick.

you act like the original is a masterpiece and not a fun action flick.

Screener fucking WHEN fuck

There's not even a fucking cam up at any of the sites right now

1 WAS just a good action flick. 2 tried to expand the universe and forgot about actual actions.

>garage fight scene was great, but also the most like one.
10 worthless talking scenes later
>shitty catacombs fight was too dark and over relied and bulletproof
>repetitive fist fight that teleported him to the hotel somehow.
>fight with assassins in NY that could have been good but has weird time gap editing for no reason.
>HOMELESS PEOPLE BULLSHIT WHO CARES
>overdone house of mirrors bullshit

I am missing something?

Oh yeah.

Calling it now, John's wife didn't die at all. She IS an assassin.

And the raid boss.

I'll give you the catacombs fight, but the fistfight was fantastic, reminded me of Keith David vs. Rowdy Rebel in They Live.

I would've preferred if the assassins scenes were chronological and played out in full, but I thought they did was alright. John vs. Cassian in the subway was funny.

Laurence Fishburne was really hamming it up, I don't know why he decided to do that.

>I am missing something?
What about the party scene right before the catacombs? It was like the club scene from the first movie, but on a larger scale.

I suppose you're right in saying that John Wick 2 had less fighting than the first, even though more people died.

I want her to be my bf(female)

Shit, am I the only one that loved the ending? It's an obvious sequel set up, but it was badass and looked great.

John being surrounded by Winston's bodyguards.
The phones going off as he runs through Central Park into the sunset with unnamed dog.

>overdone house of mirrors bullshit
this is where i disagree with you, that shit was fucking stunning, the only consistently surprising sequence besides the subway fight. In general the location scouting/sets were fucking phenomenal, if underused (probably because they couldn't destroy most).

It definitely lacked the verticality/motion of the nightclub sequence though, I don't feel like it ever reached that height. Exposed the hell out of the shallowness of the choreography.

Dare I say, as the Baba Yaga.

petition for Kanye to be in Chapter 3.

Seagal kino.

same guy from quote about mirrors, the fistfight with common was baller, I didn't find it repetitive. The fact that it had emotional weight was great too, the stakes were high. They could have earned that without the melodramatic exposition though.

>melodramatic exposition
You mean Santino's sister? That scene almost ruined the movie for me, but everything else made up for it.

Petition for kanye to be in me.

really? you deadass serious?
All my years and I've never seen someone express physical attraction for Kanye West.

>Build up Ruby Rose character
>John kicks her ass in about 10 seconds and tosses her around like she weights 50lbs
Atleast 1 thing in this movie was realistic.

I think John Wick 2 is objectively the better film, but I liked the simplicity of the first more.

Faggot kills his dog and steals his car. That's all you needed.

Pretty much this , NY is the most populated city in the US, also everyone can become an assassin, the trick is in being a good assassin, which John is because he killed most of the other "assassins" like it was nothing

>screener

>still no release date for Australia
>not even reviewed by board of classification

Fucking dammit Australia.

shit taste faggot

>Please someone get this man a gun.

My penis and I need the close-up of her butt in the Mirror room.

fug

Aurellio will definitely give his car back. One thing everyone is forgetting is the talk with Tarasov. Peace. He is definitely going to help John in the next one.

It was a really nice butt. Also laughed at how the incorporated her JUST tattoo

Sace?

>Calling it now. John's wife didn't die from an illness, she was poisoned by a rival assassin.
If that's the case, Winston most likely did it since Wick is his favorite and wants him back.

He lived since John warned him to not pull out the knife. Same reason why Morpheus is still alive after getting his neck slashed by Wick.

That's exactly who it was, he'd make a great villian

I don't think Ian McShane is capable of turning out a bad performance.
