How many things did I hate in this movie? Well, count with me:
_The exaggerated way everybody talks about the title character. Actually the first third of the dialogue does nothing but acclaiming the magnificent and incredible John Wick!
_The lead is so angry that he will come back to crime, while - in the last movie - he killed 77 human beings in revenge for his dog!
_The scene in which the lead cries when he's forced to kill again. Certainly one of the worst acting moments in Keanu Reeves's entire career!
_Reeves's dead face!
_Out of all people, the lead was questioned: "Do you fear damnation?!", and he replied: "Yes!". Since he killed 128 persons this round, that answer got me laughing like crazy!
_What was the meaning of the suicide of the lead's victim?!
_Why her brother wanted to kill the lead? NOBODY WANTED TO ANSWER THAT!
_A deaf and mute professional assassin??!!
_The fact that the movie's characters are invincible!
_The fact that the endless stray bullets don't hit anybody at all!
_The Bowery King, and those 7 bullets of him!
_The ridiculous music score!
_When the people stood still in the square, as if Winston, the owner of the Continental Hotel, owns the world (or he's the new Architect of the Matrix!).
_The movie's ending, which turns it into a philosophical film or something! It's how to sell nonsense so seriously, like the age's icons: Bourne, Taken, and the reboot of James Bond, and Batman!
_WAKE UP, EVERYBODY. IT'S ONLY ABOUT SOME GUYS SHOOTING EACH OTHER!
_You know, the hateful goods that - in my viewpoint - poisoned Hollywood since years and years, and still do, dethroning it from its golden crown, giving it a tin one instead: nudity, swearing, and violence!
_The way how the critics praised this movie!!!
Ok, now how many things did I like?
_The hall of mirrors set, albeit it's just a homage to similar ones in Enter the Dragon (1973), and The Lady from Shanghai (1947).
_The scene of the subway station's shootout; as if killing became a usual deed, and the people are so indifferent, being busy with themselves, more than death around them!
_The special details of the movie's world; including its assassins, hotel, and organization.
_Ian McShane. He was the sole non-artificial actor in the whole movie. It's where I finally felt things like "human" and "natural"!
My conclusion: This is a video game, not a movie. And it's senseless and mindless too. Watching it in full got nothing to do with entertainment; rather a lot to do with bore and discontent. That's why when it grossed $171.5 million worldwide, against its $40 million budget, twice the $86 million gross of the original movie--I was sad. Hollywood has turned big part of its audience into senseless and mindless along the years!
