The Equalizer 2 | July 20 2018 Trailer pg 4

[The Stingray]

Looks like one of the better generic b-action movie thrillers in recent years. Also, Denzel elevates everything he's in, and looks completely bad-ass rocking a kufi and a beard.

Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves need to make a film together. Look at their filmography, and tell me it isn't destiny.

Liked the first one, and this one looks even more action-y.

Heck, there were so many action shots in that trailer, I don't know how there's room for anything else in the movie itself.

 

Definitely looking forward to it.

I agree with you all, these trailers (liked the International even a bit more) are very good! I quite liked the first movie but didn`t expect much from the sequel so I`m surprised in a very positive way. Next film I`ll put on my list .

The release date is still hilarious to me.

I hope they capitalize more on McCall's ability to take down as many bad guys as possible in a very limited window of time with the least amount of resistance. Those were my favorite scenes in the original. Less "kind mentor", more "ultimate badass".

OK. They need to do it again in an action film.  Also, Michael Keaton in a Shakespeare film? I'm going to have to check that out.

Trailer makes me glad I included it in my summer game top 15. Denzel can sell the hell out of marketing like that. Might actually have a shot to beat the first. 

 

My only concern is if Fallout cuts a bit into the audience for this the following week.

Denzel Washington went 36 straight years without doing a Sequel.  He's done a few remakes (Equalizer was an 80's TV Show) but never a sequel.  To me that's an amazing run to go that long without doing a sequel.  His Box Office Gross is 3.7 Billion Worldwide during that time. Mind you this was mostly original dramas so it's really a Historic Amazing Run.  So I'm very excited to watch Denzel's very first Sequel with "Equalizer II".   It's funny that "Equalizer" and "Mission Impossible" drop in back to back weeks.  Both adaptions of television shows.  

Manchurian Candidate is closer to being a sequel than Equalizer.

Looks good! I really enjoyed the first one! And this looks better than Superfly. But I have a feeling that this may get lost in the shuffle.

Manchurian Candidate, Taking Pelham 1,2, 3, The Magnificent Seven and Equalizer are all remakes of previously released material that he's done.  But this is his 1st true sequel.   I just think he's made a great career of stand alone performances to films that don't necessarily need sequels.

It looks like fun. Might see it with mom.

I hope this one performs much better than the first, though 101 million domestic might be hard to get.

It's basically the same movie.  But I don't care.  I'll watch Denzel kick the shit out of people any day of the week.

This is probably one of the Denzel's best movies. His acting was insane and powerful. I can't believe Tony Scott is gone.

That was funny, lol.
