Flavorwire posted their review of the film. They said the following:
That’s thanks, in no small part, to the skill with which Stahelski stages and shoots that action. It is – in stark contrast to the typical, Bay-influenced action pic – not chopped all to shit. On a level of sheer physicality, it’s impressive (watch out for the brutal fistfight that rolls down several sets of steep, stone steps), but that’s not all that’s striking. There’s a choreographed elegance to the gun fighting (these guys clearly spent a lot of time watching John Woo movies) and physical brawls, and whenever possible, they keep the compositions medium-wide and the takes medium-length, so we may better appreciate not just individual actions, but the musicality of the whole. There’s an art to this; at times, the John Wick movies are less narratives than dance recitals.
…But like any genre, reputable or no, you can do these things lazily, or you can do them well – with imagination, ingenuity, wit, and skill. It pays off. John Wick: Chapter 2 is a blast.
Paste Magazine has posted their review.
Flickering Myth has posted their review. and gave the film 5/5stars. They said:
Basically, a certain plot point essentially propels the film into the complete nonstop action mode that fans of the ever-evolving franchise will come to expect, and my God does it absolutely deliver.
Once again, it also much more greatly utilizes aspects regarding the rules of assassin work, benefiting the violence. John Wick: Chapter 2 embraces the tropes, pacing, and style of 90s action film, winding up being a perfect example of what more action films should strive to achieve. Furthermore, as a sequel it improves and expands on the original in every conceivable way.
