It's like if Call of Duty® was made into a good movie.
Just like the first one, it succeeds in what it aims to be. The fight choreography is impressive, and the violence is brutal. It flies by. Chris Hemsworth gives a pretty good performance. And the characters-at least the main ones-are simple but likable. Which is all you need for a movie like this.
However, I think this is an improvement over its predecessor. The one-take action scenes are improved. It's a little more difficult to notice where the cuts are. The kills are a lot more brutal and creative. And the Nagazi felt like a legitimate threat. Also, personal point, I love me some badass chicks, and not only does Nik kick more ass in this movie than she did in the first one, but the ex-wife's sister kicks some ass herself. And it's a good thing the movie is aware of how Nik has to struggle to fight full-grown men because she's only half their size. Take notes, Hollywood.
The drama was pretty cheesy. The whole family drama thing kinda drags down the movie.
Also, Idris Elba... Come on. As soon as he came on I was like, "Yes! This movie is already better than the first one!" Him and Hemsworth onscreen together, the sex appeal is off the charts! I'd have that guy's children, too!
