JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 (Dragonlord's Review)

[SFMMA]

I feel this one will not have the "surprised how good this is" element behind it.

True, but I bet it'll still be rad.

 

[D Train]

Looks really good to me.

 

[highkicknomore]

Looks like they're expanding the assassin universe. That was my favorite part of the first one. Looks great.

John Wick with authentic Gun-Fu action grip?

Yes please.

Nice to see him and Laurence back together.

Holy shit!! Are we back in the Matrix?

Loved the first one. It doesn't look as good but definitely going to watch only because the first one was surprisingly awesome.

Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne Have a MATRIX Reunion in New Photo

John Wick: Chapter 2, the follow-up to 2014’s hitman thriller John Wick, finds Keanu Reeves reprising the role of the titular assassin and dog-lover. “It’s tricky when you do a sequel,” says director Chad Stahelski. “You don’t want to fall into the trap of retelling the first story again. Certainly, we didn’t want to kill another puppy — or kill a cat. [Laughs] We wanted to show more of the John Wick world, what he would have experienced before he settled down and tried to get out of the business.”

New cast members include the rapper Common, Ruby Rose from Orange is the New Black, and Laurence Fishburne, who plays a character called “the Bowery King” and whose presence in the film makes John Wick: Chapter 2 a mini-Matrix reunion.

“It was so cool to have a chance to work with Laurence Fishburne again, with the history that we have professionally and personally,” says Reeves. “I ran into him, and he was saying that he was a fan of the first film, and was there anything in the second film. I said, ‘As a matter of fact there is!’ So, we sent him the project and he responded to the role. Lawrence is playing a character called the Bowery King. He is a leader of this underworld in New York City. He knows everything about everything and he helps John in his mission. It was cool to act with him again and hopefully people will enjoying seeing us reunited.”

Beautiful.

[MMA since 1993]

That's awesome that LF wanted a role in this. He's one of my favorite actors

I hope they make a prequel and expand on how he became the man, why everyone fears. All the other characters who know him but yet no back story has been given, like Marcus, Winston, Vigo, Harry etc.

While I do want to know more about how he became the man everyone fears, I think the better treatment would be peeling away layers and layers gradually, maybe in pivitol scenes in JW2 doing flashback to pre-JW1 timeline to explain the why/how for his actions.

 

[Badger67]

Pending how often they did it, that might just detract from the sequel to me.

^ In the featurette, director Chad Stahelski seemed like he inhaled some helium.
