*JOHN WICK 2* Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@thomass30]

Please stop these automatic jump cuts. There's no sense in cutting out milliseconds of silence, it's just stressful to watch.

[@jenmurrayxo]

@Thomas S Had to do this, kept getting copyrighted. My original cuts never have this, I only do it to get around copyright claims & be able to post.

[@thomass30]

@@jenmurrayxo Oh, I had no idea, thank you for this information. And sorry for my complaint.

[@jenmurrayxo]

No worries! Fingers crossed KZbin lets my upcoming videos post with less cuts 🤞

[@Jasruler]

Thomas, take that up with KZbin and/or the Supreme Court. Fair use is a bitch.

[@StevesFunhouse]

@@thomass30 I jumped her too about it, and felt just as bad once I understood why. Damn, life gets so hard when you do things the RIGHT way, but then there's half the country out there that can do anything they want and no one says anything about it ... getting pretty tired of it too !!! We just need to wish Jen luck with it and keep supporting her efforts.

[@Tantalus010]

The planning sequence is one of the best parts of this movie because it shows how John typically operates on a job, and the coded dialogue between John and the sommelier is just awesome. Plus, once you see how the mission plays out, you realize that John bought the rifle and the shotgun not for the job itself, but because he expected to be betrayed and attacked in the sewers.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Ya I loved that part! You really see John in his element & his skill planning a job. He wasnt even surprised in the catacombs, he's ready for anything!

[@singingwolf3929]

Honestly, the equipment he chose was more in line with "hope for the best. Plan for the worst." He was thinking ahead with his placement, more as a "have it and not need it" in case he was discovered. As a member of the high table, he knew she would be protected. He hopes to get in and out without discovery. However, he won't leave anything to chance. So, he strategic leaves himself a path of least resistance and stocked supplies.

[@AtlatlMan]

One of those impressive little references of these movies, Gianna slitting her wrists in the bath was a traditional way to go out among ancient Roman aristocrats, often to avoid dishonnour. Its similar to the Japanese seppuku. Its thematic for her character.

[@Ian-xx1xb]

Some movie reactions simply deserve a superchat and this being one of my favourite movie franchises along with the worlds best reactor , this is one of those movies the john wick world is cool AF , i honestly dont know how youve resisted warching the 4th movie you have far more willpower than i jen 🙂 . The 6 part mini series ' the continental ' is an interesting watch seeing how Winston came to be . Cant wait til june 2025 for ballerina thats going to be epic and john wick 5 ofc . This was a wonderful rewatch ty jen youre the best 🔥💙 mr wick sends cuddles to boston hes such a good boy

[@bemindful924]

27:35 Exactly my thoughts and reaction when I first viewed this scene. Followed closely by 'it's getting real now'. The following endscene was very well done and the music is a tune I carry in my playlist outside. Chapter 3 awaits! And don't be worried to offend others; you be you. No apology is sought. People who take offense can go excommunicado. Arrivederci for now.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thank you! Looking forward to Chapter 3

[@billballhorn3129]

Jen, to make you feel a little better about the original John Wick. The dog that he rescued from the kennel was a Pit Bull, the clipboard on the cage door is stamped with 'To Be Put Down', so John rescued the dog from euthanasia.

[@jenmurrayxo]

That does make me happy!

[@billballhorn3129]

@@jenmurrayxo I usually don't mention this but my late wife Helen bought a Beagle puppy home shortly before she passed away. I'm fortunate to still have Lulu who is now 14 and been my constant companion ever since. Like you I almost didn't make it to John Wick 2 because of this background, the original movie was very traumatic for me. I'm glad I stuck with it, 2 and 3 were both very entertaining.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Oh my goodness I can't imagine watching this movie with that background. I'm glad Lulu has been there for you

[@donaldgilbert6739]

yes, he did most of the driving! i can't wait till you react to part 3!

[@jenmurrayxo]

Omg Keanu is so cool!

[@randallwright1973]

If I understand the timing of the movies correctly, 1, 2, and 3 possibly take place within a two week period--possibly even a one week period. Insane storytelling.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Oh wow! I didn't realize that. Crazy!

[@JD-jt7vg]

The British guy wearing the purple bow tie who gives Wick all of his weapons was the voice of Dartb Maul in “The Phantom Menace”

[@torikazuki8701]

See, what makes John Wick so devastating is his almost Superhuman Endurance. Others may be as good of a fighter as he, like Cassian, but you have to remember that Cassian was fresh, while John had already been through dozens of grueling fights. He is about as tireless as a human can be.

[@tvix6737]

Probably the funniest part of the shootout sequences in all three movies is John shooting a goon in the leg or chest, they start to get back up and he shoots them in the head. Dude, he told you to stay down, a five minute break or something.

[@Kopacko]

Another great video. Keanu did train a lot for all the shooting. There are whole videos about his “gun-fu” training.

[@pleutron]

Winston, the owner of The Continental, is one of my favorite movie secondary characters. Now I have to wait for you to get around to JW3 because I didn't see it in the list 😛 Is it on Patreon and just hasn't made it to YT yet?

[@jenmurrayxo]

Haven't watched it yet but I want to soon! So curious what John does next!!

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

It is a great action movie. But the story is getting very thin. However I liked the subtle call back to The Matrix when Keanu and Fishburne meet. And the room of mirrors is a call back to a legendary movie with Bruce Lee. Highly recommend you check that one out. Enter the Dragon (1973).

[@michaelcoffman4185]

Jen Murray, Loved your reaction, and your dog. My neighbor has one of the same breed. I help her take care of him often because she is a very busy lady. Looking forward to another reaction video.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks Michael! Dogs are the best 🐕

[@TheBuildKing]

The two shot to the body and one to the head is to guarantee a kill. People can survive shots to the body and in rare cases people have survived head shots. Basically impossible to survive both at the same time.

[@alanhilton3611]

It's impressive at Keanus age that he does some of his own stunts and driving.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Very impressive!!

[@craigw1911]

Keanu DID do a bunch of his own stunt driving as well as martial arts and "Gun Fu". He took extensive training in all those stunt disciplines. For fun look on KZbin for his gun training by Taran Tactical. For "John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum", Halle Berry trained at Taran Tactical alongside Keanu.

[@TrzaGoesHard]

You know he has to love driving because to qualify for stunt driving is very hard. And most insurance won't cover a lead actor stunt driving. He still does a lot of those driving stunts and their awesome.

[@waterbeauty85]

Fun fact: The 'John Wick 2' poster which depicts John encircle by people who are all pointing handguns at his neck is an homage a famous photo of Col. Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle encircled by Marines pointing bayonets at his neck. Drexel was legendary for his combative skills and pioneered bayonet and hand to hand combat training in the United States Marine Corps. There's an action movie trope of a martial arts teacher giving a student a weapon and telling them to try to kill them then handily defeating the student to demonstrate the effectiveness of the teacher's fighting system (or the toughness of the teacher). Drexel used to do that in real life.

[@jenmurrayxo]

That is a fun fact, thanks! ☺

[@Alcagaur1]

I love the (to the best of my knowledge unsubstantiated) fan theory that Winston is "Jonathan"s father-in-law.

[@TerminatorJuice]

Keanu did all the gun work himself. He competes in what is called 3 Gun challenge. You have to be well versed in pistol, long gun A.K.A. rifle and shotgun. There are videos here in KZbin of him showing what he is capable of.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Is there anything he can't do!?

[@johncourtright1632]

Great reaction Jen! I especially liked your point about nuanced characters in John Wick Chapter 2. The movie also expands on the idea of possible "honor amongst thieves", established in the first movie when John kindly suggests that Francis "take the night off" rather than killing him and Marcus refuses to kill John despite a $2M contract. In this movie there are several examples - John leaves the knife in Cassian's aorta as a "professional courtesy" rather than killing him outright, Laurence Fishburne's character as the Bowery King spares John's life despite a $7M contract, and Winston gives him an hour before the excommunicado begins. Interesting and thought-provoking stuff! I can't wait to see your reaction to John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum. Another movie you should add to your reaction list is "Meet Joe Black" with Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, and Claire Forlani. It's a love story with a twist. Keep doing what you're doing. You're a natural!

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thank you John for your kind encouragement! Yes I'd say a huge theme of these movies is honor amongst thieves for sure! Very interesting to think about ideas of right & wrong, honor & morals in this context. John himself is quite the anti hero! I'm looking forward to Chapter 3, thanks for watching along! ☺

[@Ian-xx1xb]

Friggin love this movie its so cool seeing the world of john wick grow as we learn more about it and how movies like enter the dragon was an inspiration 🙌 pencils are dangerous noted 😀 . Gotta say people complaining in the comments are not worth worrying about you were enthralled in the movie and thats nothing to complain about i loved your reaction as i always do and this was another cracker 🔥 will be watching part 3 next and i know you will slay it 🎉

[@unclelink]

The last scene with John limping away then slowly picking up the pace while everyone looks at him. It's like he slowly realizes the gravity of the situation. He's hurt, unarmed and nowhere to go and less than an hour before he's hunted again. What will he do? It's rare to see a movie series that everyone enjoys, I'll be waiting for your reaction Parabellum!

[@TravMaxAdventures]

You’re not alone, I too liked this one a bit better than the first. I believe the first just had a lot of shock value. The execution of the fight/gun scenes. (No pun intended.) Now that we all know what a John Wick movie is capable of producing, we can actually dive into the nuisances like character development and camera work of the film. And of course Ruby Rose playing a bad A$$ per usual. I also like how Ian McShane’s character “Winston” is portrayed as more of a father figure than just an acquaintance in this one. McShane is good in just about anything he does. My favorite role of his is in the HBO series “Deadwood.” Since you like “Firefly”, I think you’ll like it too. Over 5k now! Woot Woot!

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks Trav, you've been supporting me from the start! ☺ I agree, it's cool to see the JW world fleshed out more & some great supporting characters. Seeing John's preparation for a job was really fun too. So excited to see Chapter 3! Oh I've heard Deadwood is great!

If you see a Ford Mustang in a movie, like John's fastback mustang, more than likely it will get smashed. It's a Hollywood cliche.

[@Matej_Sojka]

The ending breaks the series for me. John could have found a way to kill Santino while not breaking the rules and the ENTIRE population of Central Park NY visitors being part of Continental is BS. Winston had no need to flex his power to John and it bropke the immersion of the story to have those people who hide just under the surface act so openly.
