John Wick 2

Really fun movie. I liked it much better than the first one. Keanu has been training hard and it paid off in the real-time tracking shots. The fact that it wasn't perfect made it that much more entertaining, actually adding some stress to the situation that made it seem more real. Lots of transitions, all kinds of reloads, stovepipe clearing on the Benelli, and a one-handed breach check plus many more details that I probably missed with things moving so quickly. Some parts were ridiculous like the super flexible body armor tailored suits that miraculously protected him from being pounded into poi, but it's definitely worth watching in the theater with the good sound. Makes me want to sign up for another HDF class, that's for sure.

Haven't seen it yet, but want to soon.  I saw an interview with Keanu last night where I think he mentioned a number of 14-16 hour days for a single action scene. 

I enjoyed seeing videos of him in firearm competitions.  Seems like he got into it for the role as well as the enjoyment of shooting in itself.

I love John Wick 1. Definitely going to watch JW2.

John Wick is definitely > Jason Bourne
John Wick maybe = or > James Bond. Maybe... maybe not.  Doesn't quite have the track record yet.
I think, therefore I am armed.

Watched it at the new Olino theater in Kapolei. Me and the missus approve! Keanu went serious gunfighter for that movie.

The Keanu-Common fight was hilarious.
