Yeah, I'm thinking this was terrible


Congratulations, you can write B-movie scripts and get them made into blockbuster films now. Whoever made this movie should be ashamed of themselves. I can find high schoolers that can write better scripts.

It's kind of disturbing movie critics gave this a positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes too. They've gotta be openly taking payoffs now. The director just has run out of ideas.

I disagree.. I thought it was absolutely engrossing. I loved the first and I loved how they expanded on the assassin universe. I can't wait for the third. What exactly didn't you like about it? The film was beautiful in terms of action and storytelling.

LOL. Comedy gold. I'll miss the boards. . .no shortage of idiots like that guy.

Shhh, snowflakes do that. I've never blocked anyone no matter how condescending they may be. I rather try to learn something new from others but if they're not useful, then they had their opinionated say. There are others on the board to defend you anyway.

The Continental basically helps him to navigate the catacombs. They could have gotten any scrub to do this. Dantonio decides to hire God, then is massively surprised when it's hard to tie up the "loose end." What an idiot!

This is just an indicator of how bad the writing is. How the hell can anyone like this if their IQ is above retardation level?


I fully agree and then Some !

I liked it and my I.Q. is higher than yours.

reply

Just because it was engrossing doesn't mean the story was good. I enjoy the action, but there is almost zero substance to these movies. The only bit that starts to get interesting is the whole coin/hotel/marker stuff.

reply

Get it out while you can.

reply

It was great for what it is about. Name a better action movie with choreographed gun/fighting scenes. Bet ya can't...

reply

Ronin, The Accountant, Leon, Dredd, Collateral, Bad Boys...

Are you kidding me? Shall I go on?

reply

Yes, please continue cause you haven't named one movie that has better choreographed gun fight scenes yet. Dredd, are u kidding me!? I liked dredd but it's nowhere near as bad ass and JW2 or the first.

reply

Are you f-ing serious? Stop wasting my time clown, you're another one on the clock for the studio. Idiot.

Equilibrium....

JW is still a fantastic action series

reply

Ahh, I forgot about that movie. JW is better in my opinion tho. I "figured" the equilibrium ending out within the first 10 min.

reply

Equilibrium was god awful in every way.
If someone left ''1984,'' ''Fahrenheit 451,'' ''Brave New World,'' ''Gattaca'' and the Sylvester Stallone potboilers ''Judge Dredd'' and ''Demolition Man'' out in the sun and threw the runny glop onto a movie screen, it would still be a better picture than ''Equilibrium,'' a movie that could be stupider only if it were longer.

Really?! LMAO!! Try watching Raid 1 and 2 ... Either one destroys JW 1 and 2 and it's not even Close!! A smaller budget to boot. A better story, well actually JW has NO Story so Raid wins by default! Better character development. A variety of action thats not like watching your good friend Beat high score on any FPS game for the hundredth time. JW2 was like watching a FPS screensaver on infinite loop lol.

The ending just added insult to injury.So bloody retarded! Where's he going to run to now, find Francis ( Kevin Nash)? LOL
If he had any balls, he would have shot Winston in the damn head right after Santino.

Not to mention that they most likely ripped off the basic storyline/concept from RAID 2 , seeing how Keanu worked with Iko Uwais in " Man of Tai chi " in 2013.

The Raid 1 did not have better plot. I love the Raid and The Raid 2 two of my favourite films, but there plot are *beep* and so is John Wick. But I love John Wick, haven't seen the second yet.

But don't say Raid 2 stole the plot, when Raid 2 is pretty much any Asian gangster film plot, with a little bit of Infernal Affairs throw in and other undercover gangster films. The think that makes the Raid films great is not the plot. It's the action scene. And it's the same with John Wick.

All of these films should be awarded for showing clear shot and edited action scenes, without using shaky cam, thight close up and fast editing.

I hate when people attack John Wick with using the Raid.

Love both John Wick and The Raid. Both great films. So much better than anything else made in America. So far the best actionfilm is from Hong Kong, and it's great to see shoot em films that can rival the Killer and Hard Boiled, pretty much the two best shoot em up films.

People should love Hong Kong action film, The Raid, the John Wicks and all the awesome stuff Isaac Florentine does with Scott Adakins and John Hyams does on video. All great stuff.

Any John Woo movie

reply

I thought it was great! The perfect tonic to all the depressing, mind-numbing xerox copied superhero flicks like Civil War, Age of Ultron etc. that put me to sleep

This is a real action film.

reply

This movie rocked.

This movie was great, even better than the first one, and no I was never bribed by a critic...

You should definitely get on that then. The John Wick movies are some insane combination of spaghetti westerns and Hong Kong (or Korean) action. They're flamboyant, stylish, and manage to put the majority of big budget American action movies to shame at a fraction of the budget and twice the imaginative mayhem. We could do with more.

You're trying to rationalize that this was a good movie when it really wasn't.

reply

Not rationalizing anything. Anyone who enjoys the John Wick movies is recommended to watch some spaghetti westerns (the Sartana series in particular I think), Hong Kong action (John Woo's or Johnnie To's cop and gangster movies would make for a great start), or what's going on the last few years in Korean action movies, of which The Man From Nowhere is a prime example.
