Do it! I think it's a bit more hyped up than it deserves, especially from an action standpoint, but there is a surprising amount of interesting worldbuilding in there.

EmpireCity is citing anecdotal opinions. He's not being hyperbolic about it, just relaying their thoughts. 

 

EmpireCity is citing anecdotal opinions. WrathofHan is being hyperbolic. That's who I was replying to.

Is it on a streaming service?

Perri Nemiroff on Collider Movie Talk just said that there was an event yesterday where stunt performers from the movie did stunt walk-throughs with the press. They had reporters shoot airguns and pretend fight. The director and stunt coordinator were there, too. It sounded like fun.

I don't believe so.  It's definitely worth a rental, though.

This is an educated guess at this point, but I am getting bad vibes.  Lionsgate was eager to show the first movie off early and often, but now on John Wick 2 they aren't showing it to anyone and supposedly will be embargoed until the day of release.

Heard from people that saw this in the last few days.  One person thought it was decent, the other didn't like it.  Neither thought it was as good as John Wick.  

 

I'm gonna sound like Shia LeDouche for a sec..

 

No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no!

Per Frosty embargo is meant to lift this Sunday...LA premiere is supposedly tonight so wonder why they're cutting so close? With Mockingjay they lifted it as soon as the first premiere was done.

Major spoilers but new official synopsis from production notes

Spoiler

After unleashing mayhem on the criminals who killed his dog, retired super assassin John Wick retrieves his beloved 1969 Mustang from the Russian mobsters who stole it, only to be pursued in a spectacular high-speed car chase through crowded New York City streets. Returning home, John’s plans to resume a quiet civilian life are cut short when Italian gangster Santino D’Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio) shows up on his doorstep with a gold “marker” compelling him to repay past favors. Ordered by Winston (Ian McShane), kingpin of secret assassin society The Continental, to respect the organization’s ancient code, John reluctantly accepts the assignment to take out Santino’s own sister, Gianna (Claudia Gerini), the ruthless capo atop the Italian Camorra crime syndicate.

Flying to Rome, John checks in at Il Continentale headquarters, arms himself to the teeth and penetrates heavy Camorra security to surprise Gianna in her bedroom. Leaving dozens of dead thugs in his wake, John flees Rome with trained Camorra killers Cassian (Common) and Ares (Ruby Rose) in hot pursuit.

Back in New York, John discovers that Santino has burned his home to the ground. Seeking help from the mysterious Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) and his shadow army, John employs Brazilian jiu- jitsu, Glocks and even pencils as he wreaks vengeance against those who’ve wronged him. Amid the carnage, John finds the strength he needs to defy the assassin’s code — but can he preserve his own humanity?

Never has a movie with so many head shots made it look more beautiful and realistic.

 

Plus the music goes in sync with the fight at one point and it's beautiful.

 

And Leguizamo. 

 

I love John Wick.

Some word out of the premiere:

Seriously some of the action in John Wick 2 is so awesome. Movie opens with a crazy sequence and keeps going. So happy with the sequel.

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) January 31, 2017

John Wick 2 itself is a blast. Nearly nonstop terrific action and some excellent dry humor on display. And a cute dog, of course.

Hopefully this movie is better or equal to the first.

In terms of RT rating, it has a high bar to reach (85%). I'm sure a low-70s/high-60s would be acceptable. That kind of rating suggests the action is still tip top even though the story isn't as effective.

Is William Dafoe super hammy in it? I need to know before I watch it
