An average movie

I wasn’t exactly blown away by ‘John Wick’ but since this sequel had been even more successful at the box-office, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, once again, I was hardly impressed by Wick’s new adventure. In fact, I think that the first instalment was more spectacular but I have to admit that I barely remember it in details, except that Keanu Reeves did kill a whole bunch of goons in the most badass way possible. Well, in this sequel, he once again finished off more than 100 guys and a few women but I don’t think it was as entertaining as all the fans of this franchise claim it to be. I mean, I did like the 2 fight scenes with Common because the guy also had some skills but pretty much everyone else was some faceless thug who got shot within a split second. Concerning the story itself, even though John Wick was supposedly retired and would like to stay that way, obviously, they found a way to bring him back in the game and, apparently, it would get only worse for him from this point but that’s all what the fans of this franchise want to see so that’s all good. At least, they didn’t give him an annoying sidekick so the guy really remains a lone wolf which I did appreciate but the downside is that, eventually, he only had a few fleeting conversations with a handful of characters who were completely underdeveloped. Anyway, to conclude, even if I don’t really get the passion around this franchise, I have to admit that it was a well-made and all-around solid action flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
