the first one was great because we had no expectations. it was straight to NETFLIX B-Movie that people rarely cared to even see even if it was Keanu. tbh, it took me quite awhile before I even dared to watch the first Wick movie only because I had nothing left to watch that looked interesting enough. once I had seen it, damn. I was ALL IN ! then word of mouth came rushing like wildfire.Also in the first one, the home invasion when they go after John was top notch.
Larry Fishburne is acting his *** off
Winston flexing in the park sending everyone away
Adding in the Italian underworld was a cool switch up from the Russians
The last 5 minutes really was just perfect, especially with all the assassins seeing the alert.
Overall it was solid. I don't think it does too many things better or worse than the first. It's basically do you want low stakes Russian mob or do you want bigger world building Italian Camorra. I think the scenes and sets are bigger, and we get more world building, plus Fishburne.. but I think I prefer the first. I'd probably give it another 8.5 out of 10.
