John Wick 1 wasn't my favourite film, even though I have an unhealthy attachment to nice kills on-screen more so if those kills are head-shots. :) But it did the trick and although I've only seen it once, it was still good enough to bring me to it's sequel, Chapter 2.

Well, this movie surely won't get me to a possible 3rd act. This is a mess, really. Only the first sequence of the movie is worthy of the hype around JW and his character. That was nice. But the rest is dumb, boring, repetitive and is without any kind of excitement or whatsoever.

John Wick gets hit, stabbed, ran over, punched, kicked, thrown so many times I lost counting around mid-time of the movie. I just can't take it seriously and that is OK, but only if the film makes it up on another field. For example I truly don't care about such things while watching Fast and Furious or a new Mission Impossible movie. But in John Wick it is really the only redeeming factor that there are many, a lot of, I mean a huge number of kills. That's that. It's a one trick pony. And while flicks like Shoot 'em up! did such a great job to make it entertaining this is like a conveyor belt of head-shots. Enemies just keep coming as if it was some kind of lame arcade video game. No tactics, nothing. John is immortal. Also, no one cares about anything anymore, although theoretically he still has that "devil incarnate" kind of reputation, but everyone try their luck anyways.

John Wick 2 is like the 2nd Matrix or PotC movie (but it's a long list): head-shots and style sold the first movie so the production team tried to put twice as many into this movie, but it all became dumb, dull and fake. This movie is like a fake Chinese (sorry...) copy of the first, where the casing and the looks are pretty much the same, but efficiency and reliability is much worse.

Also, I'm quite fed up with immortal, god-like leads. Can Hollywood come up with anything else other than these guys, where any lack of logic or reason are being 'explained' by him being inhumanly good and no one can make harm to them. Jason Bourne, the Transporter, John Wick and countless others since Rambo and John Matrix. And every new guy has less and less personality and originality...
