John Wick: Chapter Two's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
A more audacious film, bolder and more violent than its precessor. It's also surprsingly hilarious, wringing humor from physical pratfalls and dry wit in unexpected moments.
Time
'John Wick: Chapter 2' has style to burn, and oh! what violence -terrible, bone-crunching, glorious violence, beautifully orchestrated by director Chad Stahelski.
Los Angeles Times
Like 'John Wick', 'The Matrix' straddled two different worlds and cast Reeves as a fighter trying to leave one of them behind. It also told a perfectly self-contained story that was forced, by the usual Hollywood commercial imperatives, to spawn two commercially successful but critically derided sequels.
Rolling Stone
Remember how the original 'John Wick' snuck up and wowed us in 2014? Now he's back and better than ever.
Chicago Sun-Times
Just when we thought Keanu Reeves was destined for a career of mostly forgettable films piling up in our straight-to-video cues, the guy is headlining a bona fide, first-class action franchise.
Entertainment Weekly
The idea of a secret world of professional killers adhering to a set of civilized conventions may sound absurd, but it's what makes the Wickverse more intriguing and far richer than the usual numbskull orgy of cinematic nihilism.
