John Wick Chapter 2 (is out)

… and I have yet to see it (but soon… soon….). As you well may know, I’m a huge fan of the first movie.

But others have, and they like it:

I’ll be frank, I thought this movie was great. The lore from the first movie is expanded upon and given a real kick in the pants, John Wick himself shows even more charisma and surprising depth, and the supporting cast is even stronger than the one from the original. Everything is a step up.

But what about the action? Of course you want to know about the action.

Well. Um.

Let’s put it this way. There’s a scene where John Wick buys a bunch of different weapons (at least five by my count) and like some hyper-violent Chekov, ends up using them all until the ammo runs dry . . .

By the halfway mark of the film.

I think it has a chance of living up to my expectations, rather than falling to sequel-itis.
