The Equalizer 2 - Movie Review

[@owiseone1]

Denzel is really good at playing Denzel.

[@nielsreviewsmusic3055]

The Equalizer: The Sequalizer

[@nielsreviewsmusic3055]

I didn't see the comments.

[@nielsreviewsmusic3055]

Radiator Mike oh.

[@SCARECROW755]

Lol

[@flextits4883]

I chuckled

[@J_Mayhem]

Giggle

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Denzel is a badass

[@scottbarkley496]

Edward Sanchez Productions It sucked

[@SympatheticNightmare]

Edward Sanchez Productions Samuel L. Jackson is badass. Denzel is not.

[@tomb4250]

His first sequel

[@mmmc5122]

XIIIMugenSoulXIII 2 haa haa can't they both be? This is Denzel's 1st sequel....We like him😂😂

[@SympatheticNightmare]

M Mmc Cause equalizer was a bad ripoff of taxi driver with the plot of wanting to save the young prostitute.

[@BATJAX]

So many great moments... Secret Door scene, Credit Card scene, Car Fight, Final Battle, and just Denzel being a badass... but that’s all they were... moments

[@christophermarabella5683]

BATJAX Ill take that over Skyscraper

[@MisterFoxx]

That scene where he gets the kid out the hood was pretty damn good too, mainly because of how captivating and intense Denzel was during that lecture.

[@Theendman42]

+D. Foxx "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT DEATH IS!" -Denzel Washington 2018.

[@Theendman42]

P.S. I agree, I loved that whole segment the most.

[@JustinY.]

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

[@TT-qc2mu]

Justin Y. Do u just buy likes now?

[@GolexStaz]

Why are you everywhere reeeee

[@bhq3860]

Wow, another factory-level comment that isn't relevant to the video, and isn't funny at all. Now watch as it gets upwards of a hundred likes.

[@ipodtoucher15]

agreed

[@NJOverclocked]

Justin Y. Why are you everywhere?

[@Bruhman1992]

They need to make a equalizer and John wick crossover asap!!!

[@DariusFrench6273]

bruhman92 I swear I thought I was the only one who thought of that

[@willbaggiins9441]

Comment of the day

[@miketython9104]

bruhman92 and jon bernthal punisher

[@jameswilliams-of3mv]

..and taken.. liam with denzel

[@ReinXShin]

Yasss, exactly what i was thinking when saw both movies

[@nickbode5211]

Training Day will always be my favorite Denzel performance, but American Gangster, Crimson Tide & Flight are all VERY underrated. Dude never gives a bad performance!

[@datbtrue]

Exactly Nick ! If these little 13 yr old ass-hats realized that the director of Training day( Antoine Fuqua) also directed Eq 1&2 , they might think twice to prejudge and go with the " it sucks" reflexive response. Denzel ( I love to Box) Washington will not knowingly do a poor movie ever. He's very selective about his roles and obviously believes in quality over quantity. Soo the movie diverges along different sub-roles and antagonists?! Big deal. The first one was the same. He helped the people/family at the Home mart and had to save the Russian girl who was being used and abused by Russian Mob, then Teddy and Robert play some cat and mouse which ties in all the other arcs. If they realized that the movie is lightly based upon the 80's Television series, thats what his character is about; he helps and saves anyone who is being exploited by wrong doing. Uhh you know, kind of like the story line of every comic book movie lol. I read a few reviews where undoubtedly, Denzel is good as always but never even comes close to being challenged or equally wounded in his confrontations. The first one was similar with the exception of the Home mart - glass shard scene. I'll watch for the wit, the professional delivery and the calm voice that clearly defines your fate, as you realize you grossly underestimated this " old average built fart"

[@TT-qc2mu]

The Clone Wars is coming back everybody!!!

[@ahmetkurum4114]

What ? For real ?

[@TT-qc2mu]

Ahmet Kurum yeah man. Comic con announcement

[@Alexander-kc8oq]

Ahmet Kurum Yeah for real. There is a teaser trailer too

[@CarmenSanata]

YO THIS IS WHY JEREMYS FANS ARE THE BEST ILY BRO

[@ahmetkurum4114]

You just made my day !!

[@drzay2287]

I liked Denzel in training day

[@JACOBV1314]

"A DUI, let me load up ma guns"

[@reeloykenjins2835]

Alonzo Harris and Oberyn Martell.

[@residentsteve]

Training day was so boring.

[@jasoncallan]

Yeah you can't have guns in your video according to youtube. But there are ads for concealed gun holsters before the video. It makes no sense.

[@gongetya.9244]

Favorite Denzel Role. Man of Fire.

[@alexgaray1216]

Internet’s been going crazy since it’s comic con!!

[@WrecklessEating]

The first was so forgettable to me. But I don't remember hating it either. Will give this one a shot.

[@blackvalio4060]

WrecklessEating loved the 1st xd its like a little more casual john wick

[@DevitoAllPro]

WrecklessEating I’ve seen the first one a lot

[@ijuarez4829]

Exactly I remember seeing it and forgetting it by the next day .

[@gadguard]

WrecklessEating I can say the same about your channel. Totally forgot I was subscribed to you.

[@DaGrandChamp31]

WrecklessEating definitely was forgettable but I'm sure it was better than this one like he said and I haven't even seen it yet. In the previews the scenes look like it was a lot going on.

[@beanaffleck3359]

Best Denzel role has got to be Alonzo Harris in Training Day

[@MrHuck]

bean affleck King Kong ain’t got s*** on me.

[@troubleman8430]

Great role but for me its Malcolm X

[@rafaelalodio5116]

I really like that movie that he is a drug addicted pilot.

[@BigGorser]

the movie was called flight and he was an alcoholic

[@MrHuck]

Rafael Alódio That was Flight. Really good. Courage under Fire was great too.

[@AttonBrown]

The scene in the trap house between him and miles, to me, was really freaking powerful. I love this movie. So much better than the first one

[@andresmolina4879]

That camera shot of the 360 turn in the car was incredible 🤩

[@h.u.n.k493]

Been awhile since a good hard R action revenge flick has come out. (Sicario 2 doesn't count, though it was good). I have to wash the bland soulless taste of Skyscraper out of my mouth.

[@h.u.n.k493]

SHAY RUTHERFORD Sorry dude. Already did, and it was awesome. I need something else now.

[@pogodemon3491]

DORMAmmu I've come to bargain with you for your popcorn

[@lnsflare1]

Deadpool 1?

[@katstaples3264]

Dormammu that was f*ckn hilarious!! Lol 😂😂

[@KnightOfNight3405]

John Wick duh

[@Tadicuslegion78]

John Wick after his dog dies vs Denzel after his friends have been attacked vs Liam Nesson after his daughter’s been kidnapped vs Jon Bernthal Punisher......how many dead bad guys by the end

[@XantroyX]

Tadicuslegion78 None.

[@flextits4883]

Let’s add Charles Bronson after his family was raped and murdered.

[@XantroyX]

So that wasn't a riddle?

[@israellopez-lazaro5846]

You have to make a review on the Clone Wars!

[@Noon_00Nz]

Please talk about the Clone Wars is Saved, Jeremy!!

[@rishabhraj2332]

Chayatorn Akathapon yes please can Jeremy make a video that doesn't shit on Disney Starwars?

[@Noon_00Nz]

Rishabh Raj I started to dislike Disney since they pushed the cancelled button on The Clone Wars until now.

[@dylanmcd02]

Yeah it’s especially relevant because of his recent video on the state of Star Wars

[@rishabhraj2332]

Yeah I didn't like Disney for canceling Clone Wars (and pushing Rebels) but they were ok with me because of the movies. But reviving the Clone Wars really improves the state of Star Wars

[@colleen4ever]

As long as it's not Genndy Tartikovsky's version. In which case, not interested. I still have a vendetta against that man!

[@AllknowingUnknown]

WHOA! LMFAOOO Jeremy did his review with such passion and energy that the rating caught me off guard.

[@Joviaero]

Have to disagree with Jeremy on this one. The side plots do all connect, and help this movie be a deeper, more personal story but without sacrificing the amazing hard R action that we loved from the first one. Saying how they connect would be a spoiler, but they do. I absolutely loved this movie though. Saw a preview screening last night. It was intense, raw, awesome action and suspense. And helps you get to know Denzel's character and history more.

[@Linkbatmangosling_1]

Hey Jeremy did you see the dark knight again for it’s tenth anniversary

[@dannioregel3067]

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on Super Troopers 2.

[@infamousxander9940]

I'm telling you man. You have to go into directing and/or producing. You have a great view on cinema. I love watching your reviews and I'd definitely love to see anything you would see fit to make. Great job Jeremy.

[@chancegoode173]

Denzel in man on Fire was he best action role I’ve seen him in. That should have won an Oscar. He was clever as well as tough but developed a soft spot for a little girl with a witty personality that got kidnapped. Towards the end we find out the cause of all the grief was the little girls father trying to collect some insurance and the culprits flipped the con. This movie was the best.

[@saturdazedreviews3591]

Best Denzel role is still Alonzo from Training Day

[@saturdazedreviews3591]

Gang Squad haven't seen it unfortunately

[@SuBByflytogoodTON]

Your profile pic is Now now'd 😊

[@Lowrentfilms]

American Gangster was my fav

[@THEUNDERTAKER-fj2su]

Man on fire in my opinion is the best Denzel movie.

[@Audiomajik]

That was an amazing performance! The nuances of his character were some of the best done on screen.

[@max3655142]

My favorite part of this movie was basically after Denzel “rescues” the painter and he tells him he does not know what life is, that he has not faced death what so ever. That part got to me, just amazing acting!

[@Malt454]

Although it's a slightly different movie than the first (this is the Equalizer being the Equalizer rather than how the Equalizer came to be the Equalizer), it's not nearly as bad as many reviews would indicate. It has both better acting moments and better acting, and the action is still top notch. With sequels, many people really don't really know what they want; they want it the same as the first, "but different", and I think a lot of people want to retroactively turn this franchise into John Wick, which it never was to begin with.

[@aaronnorth769]

“Airsoft pistols are so bad” Jeremy jahns

[@networkofartiststudios2821]

Aaron North and Malcolm X and hurricane

[@EthanButler]

I loved Denzel in Remember the Titans and also a pretty underrated movie, The Magnificent Seven.

[@charlessaxton8354]

Jeremy. Do a Top 5 video of your favorite Denzel movies, please. Maybe it could become a things like Tales from the comment section which I miss. Mine are: Training Day, Man on Fire, Fallen, Crimson Tide, and Philadelphia. Honorable mention for John Q and Deja Vu.

[@CeciBeez]

Agreed, keeping Miles out of the gang was enthralling. I felt like that was Denzel's personal moment to speak directly to all inner-city young men (not spelled g-u-n) and inspire them to better things than the dead-end gang-banger lifestyle. But the ending of the holocaust survivor's story arc really tore at the heart strings!!!

[@SorasShadow1]

So I put the audio speed on 1.25 for the last video I watched & forgot to change it back but now it just sounds like he's having a lot of fun rapidly explaining himself about the movie.

[@sharilshahed6106]

Jeremy plz do a review on the Titans trailer and the all demanded return of THE CLONE WARS!

[@swishpronoob]

Sharil Shahed that Titans trailer looked like a cheap web series.

[@SWTXCowboy11]

I take it you never saw the original Equalizer TV show from the 80's? This movie was just like the TV show. Mr. McCall would respond to some stranger's cry for help, render some vigilante justice, do some other good, and at the end of the show you would see the results of his doo good'ing and the lives of those people he helped be significantly improved by his good deeds.

[@liammacconn2744]

"Sorry to Bother You" was excellent. I'd love to see you review it.

[@Rolyatthegoon78]

Just watched it. Your comment about side quests was spot on. I had that exact thought in my head as he was dealing with the side plots. Other than that it was pretty entertaining and Denzel once again put on an acting clinic.

[@gerwique3146]

Yo Jeremy, you should answer the question you pose after each Video. You did it with your The Dark Knight Rises review; I wish you did it every time :)

[@a.j.m8264]

I like the fact that it fits in side plots, cause that’s what I loved about the first one. It reminds me about the show it’s originally based off of, denzels character works on more than one problem at a time.

[@devingilliam5601]

Favorite Denzel role is definitely Coach Boone. Love that movie. Love his character in it.

[@sweeabn6736]

Thank you. I sorta liked the first movie but it fought the sleep test and BARELY passed. I think I was sober enough to not fall asleep during it but if this one is not as good as the first. Thanks.

[@MegaTeeruk]

Denzel, another settlement needs your help.

[@FestArc]

I got word from a settlement!

[@paulmccloud9395]

At least it's not raining.

[@prestongarvey5786]

Who do you think you are telling people to help out local settlements? That is MY job to annoy the General.

[@Ascendant618]

Fallout humor haha

[@gravelslinger9331]

The Equalizer II was AWESOME, the action sequences were STUNNING, and I CAN’T WAIT to get it on DVD!!!

[@persevere4655]

Favorite Denzel role? Gotta be George Segal's son in Carbon Copy or as that dead detective in Heart Condition.

[@Cynicayke]

Hope you do a review of Eighth Grade, Jeremy!

[@ahmetkurum4114]

Please do a review of the Titans trailer.I very much wanna know your opinion on the direction they're taking.

[@soulchump86]

I actually lived the formation of the scenes and the little tasks he was doing..

[@SerAkimbo]

Most people will say Training Day, but his performance as Reuben 'Hurricane' Carter is outstanding and is my personal favourite.

[@seattlegolfer]

The way you set this up in the opening strongly suggested that this was a good time if you were drunk.

[@gundam0083113]

Still waiting for your bioshock infinite spoiler review

[@Kellen_Quigley]

Denzel in "Glory" breaks my heart every time.

[@ThatGuyWithAComment]

Give us your thoughts on Clone Wars coming back or a Clone Wars Series Review!

[@jra10000]

Jeremy, please give us your review of the new Star Wars the Clone Wars trailer

[@Bayuuk]

Can someone please explain the motivation of the antagonists within this movie? I walked out of the theater and was like uhhh did they ever explain why those guys were bad or were they just 'bad guys" for Denzel to beat up? Honestly they could've just given them a cliche motivation and they still would've had a better motivation than whatever they didnt have.

[@hurricaneheli79]

I have 3 fav Denzel roles. 1) Fences (hands down his best) 2) Man on Fire 3) Flight 2 & 3 are tied.

[@SCARECROW755]

Jeremy what are your thoughts on the Teen Titan Trailer?

[@Jed_Elias]

I missed seeing Antman and the Wasp in IMAX because this movie was playing, instead. Thanks for ripping this movie apart, Jeremy. :)

[@rafaelalodio5116]

Imagine a crossover of Taken and The Equilizer, two old timers kicking ass.

[@pavlemilatic3900]

I love Denzel in American gangster... that piano scene tho, the very esence of Denzel's acting. Oh and I love Deja vu too

[@BAMTubeMovies]

Great review again! Can’t wait to watch and review this myself!

[@Aartwood]

I kind of feel you should have hat the pistol in the thumbnail as airsoft/paintball are not illegal, not violent, not capable of killing anyone, so if anything to make a point that what your doing is completely fine and normal, and no pandering to snowflake anti fun/action videos. Good review too man, been watching for years and love how its always stayed the same yet incredibly entertaining :D

[@themarveldcfan3463]

Before: "Please be good..." After: *"FUUUUUU-"*

[@Joviaero]

I saw a preview screening yesterday and thought it was fantastic. Reviews and opinions are subjective, you may still enjoy it.

[@Shenanirats]

I thought it was pretty much a more padded version of the first. I liked it perhaps equal or less than the first. I did feel it lagged a bit in parts, defintely choppy editting, and I was more interested in the side quests than the main plot, which I thought was pretty predictable. IF you can get a cheap ticket, defintely worth seeing.

[@Kal_g]

Favorite Denzel role? Well, it's a tie for me. Malcom X, and Coach Herman, in Remember the Titans. I couldn't choose between the two. He was so damn great in those movies!

[@natextreme_]

American Gangster is one of my all time favourite movies. Also happens to star Denzel Bossington

[@thenewb3189]

Malcolm X, Training Day, The Hurricane, and Glory. I think those are where I liked Denzel Washington the most. I'd have to watch them again to be able to choose just one.

[@josephbrantley1960]

Denzel in Mo Better Blues was perfect for me 👌🏼🎷

[@JACOBV1314]

Found it pretty predictable but was still a good watch, if you like the first movie you're sure to like this one..

[@JACOBV1314]

Craig James Review il check it out thanks

[@corriec28500]

Favorite role was from the movie unstoppable. Safe house was pretty good to.

[@OLLITEALE]

Storyline issues aside. I do believe this is as good if not better than equalizer. But mainly because Denzels acting keeps getting better.

[@michaelcranny6687]

Got to be honest this at least to me was much better than the first. Both were solid action/revenge/vigilante flicks. Denzel knows how to play the badass well.

[@Estrio21]

My favorite movie with Denzel will always be Man on Fire. Creasy was such a good and memorable character for me.

[@georgioevans1289]

Do critics not remember that's how the first movie was. Main plot but also side stories. And this is based off a tv show and the tv show was ploted the same way.

[@bigblackdaddyblue]

I wonder if Alonzo from Training Day can beat Robert from The Equalizer?

[@bearfcker5]

Thanks man. Now I’ll just wait for Netflix. Your reviews save me money

[@coreymcgee5603]

Denzel did it all and this movie was a few steps better than the first one. This was a solid movie and i hope Equalizer 3 is in the making.

[@YoungBlaze]

Can we get john wick and equlizer mash up film

[@TheRoyalFlush-ym3gv]

Seeing as everyone will obviously say Training Day is Denzel's best role, I'm going to go with Fallen. Because it's awesome.

[@marley1221]

Dude, I honestly enjoyed this one more than the first one and I really liked the first Equalizer... I was fully engaged throughout the entire film

[@draven86]

Denzel Washington vs Keanu Reeves vs Liam Neeson. Who would win and why?

[@kimberlyterasaki4843]

JEREMY, CAN YOU PLEASE REVIEW THE NEW CLONE WARS TRAILER?! AND THE CLONE WARS SHOW WHILE YOU'RE AT IT?!

[@caradion8728]

My favorite Denzel movie is Training Day.

[@brentonmccann9124]

I love Denzel. Training Day is my favorite role he has ever played.

[@ProjectSincere]

Training day, is my favorite Denzel role. Prob not his best but my fav.

[@george25199]

Did he get the guys painting back I did not see that would of been cool

[@davemitchell6967]

Malcolm X is my favorite Denzel role. Training Day is my favorite Denzel movie.

[@Audiomajik]

While I liked this movie a little better than you did, I agree that it was a bit scattered and dividing of the audience's attention. I wouldn't say it lacked focus but rather bit focused on too many things. If they wanted, they could have tied things together in a more creative way that actually linked the plot with the sub plots, like having the old man's sister end end up the mother or close relative of the main baddie. And have the gang trying to recruit the kid linked to him, too. A mercenary who does arms deals on the side? It would have been nicer to see the stories tied together in such a way that all roads lead to the same guys in an unexpected manner. The kid from the hotel with the "spock fingers" being a key character in finding the painting? So many directions could have made for a bit more interesting direction than the typical ill the bad guys motivational driver. Oh well. We got what we got. Still better than some of the other crap I've seen lately.

[@BaMafromLa]

when's the mission impossible review coming?

[@elsergecruz]

Dude! The ild guy & his painting. I loved it

[@jamesward9646]

You are a good critic.... but man you are young and most likely have not seen the old TV version! I used to watch the TV series and liked it ! The Movie versions are so much better! With that said Jeremy , keep up the good work! (BTW , you are the only Movie Review channel I subscribe to on KZbin)

[@chrisvassos1869]

I disagree with you on this one. The movie did not seem to drag, Denzel showed his acting chops once again, the action was directed and filmed well and also had original kills. The main plot did feel a little diluted but was I never when watching the movie feeling that it was a terrible thing. Only now thinking back can I say the plot was not very strong. I though the equalizer 2 was as good at the first.

[@jbutler4489]

Favorite Denzel role? MALCOLM X

[@therebelone1091]

Training Day...That was sublime!

[@Theendman42]

I loved this movie, I definitely agree with the pacing problems, but other than that it was well written and the story was just, heartwarming and left you with good feelings, which a lot of films seem to lack, edgy is the new norm, everything must have a sad ending apparently.

[@heisisisxkdi5313]

Robert McCall vs Frank Castle who would win?

[@davidcasper444]

Great review. Thank you Jeremy

[@musaab7260]

The clone wars tv show is the best part of star wars since the original trilogy imo, you should review it man

[@MyKittyPercy]

You nailed it! Everything I thought, you said. Side quests in a video game, procedural TV show, extremely predictable main quest plot. I give this review an A+. The Equalizer 2 is a B-.

[@RaydeusMX]

Book of Eli, though training day will probably get mentioned the most.

[@guiltypleasureisland6642]

Raydeus I heard that movie Fallen was good and i never seen it.He chasing a guy who jumps in and out of bodies.Sort of like that movie The 5th Power back in the day or The Shocker
