Ratings and reviews

I love seeing more of Continental culture and mythology. I hope to see more if there is a third chapter. The catalyst in this film is certainly a good one, but isn't explored in much depth, and doesn't offer much story. Too much of the movie is just the same old chum machine. However, it's hard not to enjoy the John Wick style, and there are certainly moments in the movie that are worth highlighting. The ending of the movie seems like it was intended to be a cliffhanger, but I sense it will instead make it more challenging to write a third chapter and ultimately doom the John Wick saga. I give the movie a very soft 4 stars.

Great follow up to John Wick which had the bulk of his character development and what pushes his buttons. Now we see how far he is willing to go to get out and a couple of skills fabled in the first movie. Setting up for a third movie that I am sure will demonstrate how hard he can push back to survive. Fun movie with lots of style...far more than the typical and average pugilism.

Keanu ROCKS good to see this actor still literally KICKING ASS. Buy it. Watch it. Love it! If there is ever a John Wick 3, it will be a must-own, no holds barred endowed trilogy and a final super bloodbath we will all want to see w/ x 3 body count to make it the best John Wick ever!
