It was unnecessarily long but even still, I loved it. And I'm looking forward to a sequel, just hoping it's better than John Wick 2.

the first movie was decent because of the nostalgia from watching the original with Michael Cain... but it was basically just a TV pilot that never turned in to a new series..it had exactly that feel to it...tv pilot

it made enough money, so of course!

and I liked the first one. Agree with @AzStevenCal that it was a little long, but Denzel kicking ass is always fun to watch.

Do you mean Edward Woodward? He was the original Robert McCall from the TV series which this film was very loosely based.

One of the rare movies that was good because of the side plots, rather than the main one. Doesn't hold a shine to the first, of course, but was enjoyable enough.

 

[Shane]

This was well worth the $$$ very enjoyable and as usual Denzel is Denzel!

Trivia: This film is Denzel's first sequel ever.

Huh. I did not know that.

Coolest bit of violence:

Spoiler

Using flour and and the knowledge that the enemy will use a flash bang to blow it up in the bad guy's face. Excellent!

Took me a bit but I finally figured out where I'd seen "Dave" before..... Agent Peña in Narcos.

They definitely reached for a storyline to make another one. Pretty much the case in most sequels.

At least they left Man On Fire alone.

 

[Covert Rain]

Funny thing is this had the worst marketing ever. Seriously, hardly had seen one commercial about the sequel. The first one was surprisingly good. The wife and I are going to try and see this in the next few days if our schedule permits.

Which version though?
