Wow just got the 2 bluerays,non stop shoot me up! Reeves is good in these roles.they should not have
Killed his dog!

Saw the first and enjoyed it, missed the second.

Pretty decent movies. Turn down the subwoofer as they go overboard with the LFE in the fight scenes. In fact, kill the subwoofer with most all of the recent shoot-em-up movies.

FWIW, both movies are available in 4K, with Dolby Atmos and HDR.

Wick is a bad ass. John Wick 2 had the most head shots I have ever seen,I stopped counting after 50. He doesn' take any chances,a slug to the head,your dead. Thumbs up to both movies.

miner spoiler alert:

In the second one why didn't they just give him his car back? Why try to stop him from taking it? It makes no sense at all.
Even if they thought he'd still kill them why not try it first?

Really ?
Sounds like your setup is not adjusted correctly..

Mine, was not at first(A/V pre/processor @ factory LEF default)
After a simple LEF menu reduction of 10db, all was fine.

Something you might consider, if not already adjusted, and if so, then consider reducing LEF some more..

The subs sound fantastic with music as currently setup. In fact, I spent hours dialing them in to get the sound the way I like it and I have really good subs, a pair of SVS SB4000's. Its movies where I find the low frequency effects offensive and yes, I do normally adjust the subs back if watching movies. I have to as I can't stand the thump, boom, thud thing going on. Sometimes I turn the subs off when watching movies. It was worse with my old Klipsch subs that have been relegated to my vintage sound system where they do well.

Its highly possible that I simply don't like the abusive LFE added to movie soundtracks.

Entertaining man flicks, as long as you suspend belief when it comes to the shoot outs.

I thought the first was unexpectedly good, kind of an 80s throwback, but the second was stale and lousy, just combat porn. I wonder if the movies are intended to be sexually arousing in some sadistic manner.

 

[Bucky Badger]

They should not have
Killed his dog!

Ya when he shoot's someone he almost always includes a head shot. Just to make sure.
It's kinda nice to have The Continental as a safe space as well.

I loved the rules, the gold coins and the view into that unique world. It was part of what made the first one better than the second. It is hard to reinvent the 'oh, that is cool' moments.

Fair enough, after all, it ends up what you like, and nothing, or anybody knows better than you..

This happens with a follow-up to a good first effort, I call it trying to pop the same sack twice. The sack is expended and the element of surprise gone. It causes me a certain reluctance to see a mk-2 version of a movie I liked.

 

[hnash53]

Yeah they shouldn't have killed his dog.
Other than that, Wick 1 is in my top ten WORST movies ever. I quit watching when he went into the night club and just... oh I can't go on, it was so bad I quit watching at that point.

Well said.

 

[slow_jazz]

Loved the first one.

Second one was just more of the same.
