Let's start with the good.
It may be the best lit movie of 2017. The production design is sometimes is really on point. It's like they picked locations based on if they could do something interesting with colors. Felt like top tier Bond in few scenes. Keanu Reeves does his thing. The fighting in the first scene.
The bad.
I could write "Almost everything" and call it a day but since the Film Room needs a good discussion in 2018.
Along with the bad guy in Ant-Man the villain in John Wick 2 is the first one in films in the last 10 years, at least. It would be ok if it was played for laughs but it's not. In the first one you knew the bad guy didn't stand a chance, that was kinda the point. But here we have a man who's a high ranking member of this world wide guild of assassins, the same guild John Wick is a part of. The same John Wick the movie says he knows well enough to sign off and do him a favour because John Wick is the best. He needs the ghost. He then tries to kill John Wick. Why? To close the loop and get revenge for his sister, which makes no sense. He knows John Wick is basically Superman. There is no amount of hubris to be this dumb. On the top of that he seems to have almost no skills compared to other assassins in the film. Why do other members of the kill guild work as bodyguards for other memebers? They are fukkin' assassins, I've heard about people being overqualified for a job but c'mon. The killing went full parody starting with the catacombs It's basically this scene.
The world building is terrible. Those coins make no sense. He pays the same amount for the suit, which seems to made out of adamantium, and is paid for a drink. He also pays one coin to the bum assassins to kill other assassins, safe his life and get him to safe place but pays 3 coins for getting a look at some underground tunnel plans. The Hotel is all about rules, rules, rules like both movies have said. You can't spill blood on the hotel grounds. John Wick just walks out. He returns (for some reason) to the manager at the fountain, know he'll be killed. Dude tells him he's out, which he would've known, and that he's got one hour. Then John Wick runs. He could've done it the day before but noooooooooope. Btw. KR make-up in the fountain scene terrible, they clearly added another layer of CGI make-up on real makeup and it makes him look like a CGI character. Every 10th person in the world seems to an assassin. The shootout between Common and John Wick when they are on different levels is so lame it's funny. Common is terrible and that goes for every actor not in the first film, outside of Peter Serafinowicz maybe. In the hands of a less actor those lines would've made his scene the worst one in the film. While the reason John Wick goes on a killing spree in the first film was cheesy it was kinda endearing. Here he kills 20-30 dude for a car. The next day he says won't kill anybody because he's not that man anymore, despite having a contract with man who got him out of the game. The bad guy had every right to blow up his house. The concept of the bum assassins as another guild was laughble, even in this world.
I might add on.
