I particularly enjoyed the tunnel escape, which was basically Reeves doing a 3-Gun match.

agreed, this was just borderline gore porn to me. No real plot to make you give a shit.

yup, as compared to the plot of the first one, this one has as much plot as Sorority Sluts 34

The first one was a pretty straight forward revenge story with some really interesting supporting characters.
The second one, while still fun, was really silly. Why would Common's character be singularly focused on killing Wick? How about the brother who forced him to do the hit in the first place? And for that matter, she offed herself - he never laid a hand on her. That was just dumb - like Nero hating Spock dumb. it would have made more sense if they had joined forces. And as I mentioned shortly after I saw it, in this movie there are two kinds of people - professional assassins with shitty cellphones, and mindless computer game avatars who don't notice anything going on around them. It was so bad I was expecting every tenth person walking by to talk about being a former assassin before taking an arrow to the knee. Seriously, if a bloody guy walking right next to you is engaged in a gunfight, even with a suppressed weapon, YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE IT UNLESS YOU'RE HELEN ****ING KELLER. And I guess even Helen would smell the gunpowder smoke and assume it might be time to duck. |

Although I kind of think both films succeeded in large part due to their unapologetic lack of plot. Sometimes plot just gets in the way. True for both action and porn.

Lumpy and I watched both of them in the last week. I'm sure I am mimicking a lot of opinions here when I say that the second was not nearly the movie the first was. If all you want is action and gun porn, 2 is for you. However, 1 is by far the better movie. Both are weak when it comes to storyline but at least the first had something you could get behind.
