I liked how he was blowing legs off with the Benelli because (I presume) all the goons were wearing vests. Either that or he's just a sadist and wanted to make them suffer. Film owned. I liked the first better as a film, but like Terminator 2 and Crank 2 it's a sequel that just throws up its arms and goes, "gently caress IT! LET'S JUST HAVE FUN!" a crisp refreshing Moxie posted:I'll probably never buy DBox tickets again. Same. But because I was drunk and the shaking just made me need to pee real bad.

I just realized I own pretty much all the guns the j man used in the movie. I just need a 1911 and a Glock 34 or 17 or whatever the main one was.

Film is great, if you don't like it then I guess you never grew up with decent action films as a kid. The shotgun reload was dope.

The second is boring for long stretches, Wick himself is somehow as nigh-invulnerable as The Tick, the main antagonist sucks and Wick's motivation is far less compelling. The action's still great, the cast still has a murderer's row of great actors slumming it for fun, Wick is the perfect role to highlight Keanu's talents and minimize the damage of his weaknesses, there are several excellent set pieces for the glorious violence, and it's really neat to see how much work actually goes into shooting an 80's style gunfight without an infinite ammo cheat. No, John Wick didn't want to do it because he was "out", but the Main Bad blew up his house and then Winston was like "You're lucky he just did that, ya gotta do it. You're the idiot here for giving him the marker - you have to go do what he asks". So then Wick goes and does it, and then immediately after word gets out Wick succeeded, Main Bad guy was like "Well you know I'd be a pussy if I didn't avenge my sister" and puts a huge hit out on Wick so it doesn't look like he was the one that ordered the hit on his sister in the first place. I think Wick probably would have come after him for blowing up the house, but the betrayal after the Rome hit was what sent Wick on his next revenge course. Oh and also, I think it's funny that some people found the bullet-proof suit to be a unrealistic because you can totally get suits made that will stop most handgun bullets quite easily. http://garrisonbespoke.com/custom-suits/bulletproof-suit/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/liquid-body-armor/ http://www.popsci.com/suit-these-3-pieces-bulletproof-businesswear Tumble fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Feb 20, 2017 |

Speaking of Yaaaar, I would like the next step to combine this movie with Dodgeball. Assassins trained to dodge bullets lead by Steve the Pirate. I have no idea why my mind connected the two.

When Wick shot that dude in the head on stage and the whole crowd cheered, I felt like that was the director commenting on us, the audience, glorifying violence. And the director was right, because that poo poo was way awesome

Run, dude can kill you. Kill the guy who holds the marker, you are fair game. Only option: Fulfill the blood debt. Ian McShane even states these rules to Wick, and to us, so we know why he cannot kill him right now.

PassTheRemote posted:John Wick 2 is a really good movie. Not only does he shoot people in the head, but the people behind the camera know how to shoot a movie. It's not quick cuts and shaky cam being used to hide the fact that we have a terrible director or bad fight choreography. The camera is placed back, and we can see the action clearly. I don't know why this seems like a really fresh take on action movies, when it should be the default way to shoot them. the thing is that keanu reeves went into super hardcore mode and spent a lot of time learning the martial arts of the film, so they didn't need to do so many quick cuts to hide flaws.

Keanu was really wooden here, but one scene that sorta left an impression was the one where he went to get the backup case from the bank after they blew his house up. I got some chills when he looked at the briefcase and just let out this primal scream. It worked really well with how composed he was in every other situation in both films. Nice editing too, as they cut away like half a second after he started screaming.

Ps. If sequel speculation is allowed, I think that (also don't read if planning to play the earlier Hitman games)Wick is gonna fake his death to get rid of the contract and then do an Agent 47 and come shooting out of the casket, where he has been buried with 68 assorted handguns

Nice editing too, as they cut away like half a second after he started screaming. The movie rules because there are only 3 types of actors that Keanu interacts with the entire movie: 1. Wooden Actors (every scene with him and Common) 2. Terrible Actors (every scene with him and Fishy) 3. Incredible Actors (every scene with him and Ian McShane) In one scene you get dialogue between a pair of 2x4's, then the next is that same plank of wood sharing the screen with loving Franco Nero.

Whoa what the gently caress, from Wiki:quote:Principal photography began on October 26, 2015, in New York City. The film premiered in Los Angeles on January 30, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on February 10, 2017. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the action sequences and considered it to be superior to the previous film, and has grossed $93.1 million.[3] Hollywood gets it wrong again smdh
