Poll of the Day > Watched John Wick Ch. 2. Action Scenes = Amazing! *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

I haven't watched Ch. 1 so no spoilers please.

I heard great things about John Wick and it was on my list of movies to watch. I saw it was gonna be on HBO so I DVR'd it.

Today I watched Ch. 2. I didn't know much about this movie. I found a few things about the story a little confusing but the story was pretty straightforward. I'm guessing a few things were explained in Ch. 1 and expanded in this movie?

Anyways, this movie is action packed! Not the typical mindless crappy action that has taken over Hollywood. Ch. 2's action scenes are pure quality action. It's extremely well done. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

I love how the action scenes show everything in the frame and it all flows perfectly.

Something I hate about modern action movies is how almost every scene has that terrible shaky cam, quick cuts, zoomed in shots, and how none of the action makes any sense. I have no idea why the majority of Hollywood film makers use this style and why casual movie goers like it too. I'm not a movie buff or whatever you call them, but I hate action movies like that. I actually dislike s lot of movies lol.

I remember making a topic not too long ago complaining about action scenes in today's movies and how I despised that style. I think a few people suggested John Wick having great action scenes and now I see why.

John Wick 2's action scenes are some of the best I've seen. I was literally smiling at how awesome they were. More filmmakers can learn from it. That's how you do kick ass awesome action movies!

I'm definitely going to watch John Wick Ch. 1 when I get the chance. Feel free to recommend action movies that are very well done. I saw a clip of Atomic Blonde a while ago and I'm going to watch it one of these days. How was it? I'm also going to watch Mad Max Fury Road again because I fell in love with that movie when I first saw it in January.

p.s. I have a habit of making my posts long.
tl;Dr version: I really liked John Wick Ch. 2.

John Wick 1 - 3/5
John Wick 2 - 5/5

Yes, these are good action movies. Mostly because of good cinematography and Keanu Reeves doesn't have to talk much.

The first one was better imhmlo

i like the original one better.

i thought there where to many people that walk infront of the camera to get shot in the second on. like they were off camera. He would have totally seen the guy but once they get on camera (3 feet away from the kenu) kenu will then shoot him.
