I thought John Wick 2 was very underwhelming. Just silly action without any real tension. No heart, no character.

You need to see them both!

Although I think you may not like it as much as many do because it's been hyped. It was surprisingly good for me.

Thought it was also a rare case of the sequel topping the first one.

My wit's end
I love this franchise.

It's like watching an expert competetive gamer do a speedrun of a FPS.

Keanu is such a shit actor but he's great as Wick, part suits him down to the ground. Great guy by all accounts tbf.

Also can't wait for this, this is what a proper action film should be. Stylish and fight scenes which are genuinely fecking quality.

Not seen any Jon Wick film. What kind of action films are they?

Unrealistic one vs all sort of action, but the real attraction for me at least was how they built this underground mafia infrastructure that abide by certain golden rules.

I don't want to give too much away about the plot or direction, but its more than just a generic shoot em up film.

John Wick 2 was very different to John Wick 1 but both have got praise for different reasons. Hope John Wick 3 completes a solid trilogy.

It definitely had less heart as @VorZakone says, but IMO as a pure action movie it was superior to the first. Better fight scenes, really very stylish feel to everything with the locations etc, overall just a really easy and enjoyable watch which is all I'm asking for with an action flick.

The scenes where he fights his way out after he kills the female mafia boss is fantastic choreography.
