Critics Consensus

John Wick: Chapter 2 does what a sequel should -- which in this case means doubling down on the non-stop, thrillingly choreographed action that made its predecessor so much fun.

Kambole Campbell

One Room With A View

An antidote to overly elaborate action films, John Wick: Chapter 2 doubles down on both the mythology and the violence of the first film, delivering a great followup that doesn't lose sight of what makes it so damn entertaining.

Rated: 4/5

The Blue Lenses

John Wick: Chapter 2 doesn't radically subvert the genre, but it doesn't intend to. What it does is something so much better: it loves it and celebrates it with charm, skill and devotion.

John Wick: Chapter 2 delivers another full-throttle round of brutal, beautiful violence.

The Skinny

But the qualities that made the first film a hit – neo-noir style, viscerally balletic action and Ian McShane at his most menacingly debonair – are still more than enough to see Chapter 2 through to the close and make a third entry an enticing prospect.

Rated: 4/5

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Despite offering wonderfully staged action that takes stunts to a new level, it lacks the emotional heart of the debut film.

Rated: 4/5

Age of the Geek

This sequel builds the world of the highly organized and codified High Table that John Wick had left, but now is forced to re-enter. The film answers the question: Is there honor among thieves? It's bloody, but no dog dies.

Rated: 3/5

John wick 2 just sings. The legend continues and it doesn't feel forced like some sequels that have iconic part 1 and suffer from lack luster part 2. They continued where he left off and it feels natural. It feels like they took two steps outside the house and in universe works. What a fantastic universe. And combat is just superb. The villains are just so fun to watch get their medicine. The fights are bigger and the locations are better. The hotel has been given more love and it shines. Worth watching . Keanu owns this role.
