Compared to John Wick 1, this is an over-hyped disappointment with no originality whatsoever. The producers obviously felt that lots of shooting and general mayhem with plenty of hand to hand combat thrown in for good measure is what sold the first film. They may be right but the entire concept created by JW1 is what set it apart from all the others of the genre, and JW2 contributes nothing in this regard which is what makes it so disappointing in my view.
