The Equalizer 2 - Movie Review

[@Jeremy-mg9tl]

That scene with Miles when Denzel scolds him is intense! Acting masterclass

[@gigakuma]

He drops so many words of wisdom in this movie it's ridiculous. Denzel is simply the best.

[@hebrew26commandmentspower55]

Denzel delivered a kick ass performance! ... I literally loved the ending...

The Stuckmanizer

[@chadotem1889]

I believe what was wrong with the plot was, it tried to fit a lot of side stories, which were pretty decent, which made the main plot to get lost. I mean take the first Equalizer for instance, we had Ralphie, the guy who wanted to become security guard and our protagonist McCall helped. Then we had Teri, the girl who found herself in a place she didn't wanted to be, who McCall helped to escape and pursue her dreams. And those side stories were dealt very good because there were a few and not so complicated. But in EQ2, of course there was Miles, the lost young kid who McCall helped, then there was Fatima, who lost her only connection to her past but again by the help of McCall, she got her link to past back. Then we had Sam, who was looking for his lost loved one who found by McCall, and the girl from hotel, the child he helped to return to her home from Turkey.. I know these are not much but the runtime wasted on these could cut up to make main plot to develop faster. Also, in the first Equalizer, the last battle or fight, had a much better conflict than EQ2's. It was indoors and everyone McCall worked with was taken as hostage, that made me felt more conflicted than just Miles taken as a hostage to be honest. Also Miles' development felt very empty than Ralphie's in my opinion. In conclusion, I believe the problem with EQ2 was overcrowded plot, lack of character development than original Equalizer and lack of conflict. But again, this is only my opinion.. :)

[@kratoscallofduty]

I couldn't agree more. There were side plots that had nothing to do with the film and it really bogged it down.

[@MrNotgoth]

Saw this with my dad yesterday because MI: fallout was booked and I surprisingly enjoyed it. All acting was great but yeah that scene with Denzel and the kid was really powerful and hands down the best scene in the film.

[@jamesg8175]

The scene you mentioned is the stand out moment of the movie for me! Denzel is a legend...your right!

[@jayanths1221]

I swear Pedro Pascal is in every movie I've seen in recent times..

[@jgreg3596]

A lot like the first one, the movie really benefits from having Denzel in front of the camera and Antione Fuqua behind it.

[@FlipFlopGod]

Movie Man still a trash film

[@dash4800]

It keeps most of the qualities of the first. Unlike the sequel to Fuquas other action movie Olympus has Fallen. I hate when action sequels get different directors, it never turns out good.

How come the 007 producers haven't chosen Mr Antoine Fuqua to direct a feature yet?. The man definitely "keeps it real". Look at the original and "Shooter" for evidence!.

[@snagc4b427]

Anthony Lewis Danny boyle wants to 'keep it real' too for the next Bond

[@speedracer1945]

He costs too much for a 007 film since they spend all their money on the star instead of a good screenplay and director.

[@Arlyneya]

Great review ♥️ And I agree, I thought the relationship with Miles was stronger than the relationship with Terry in the first film. It was a diamond tether. I’d give it an A- for all the same reasons.

[@markparkinson6378]

The Equalizer is one of my favourite American action movies, undoubtedly.

Think of those sub-storylines as sub-quests in Zelda and be amazed. This is why I think Equalizer would make a great TV Series. I don't really watch TV Series' but I felt this way throughout the movie. So much to tell, so little time.

[@LusioEcarts]

This movie had a bunch of sub plots.. many for a movie. I agree.. could have worked better as a tv show. (at least for this 2nd part cuz the first was more focused instead being so spread)

[@kelvinh.1101]

Thanks for the review Chris! The Equalizer was great. The Equalizer 2, was good but, it was drawn out, too long and predictable. I am also bias as anything Chloë is in makes it... better. In my humble opinion, she is absolute.

[@mattwagnermovies6308]

I admit I wanted at least one more action scene in the middle, but I overall enjoyed it. It wasn’t bad.

[@Philernator]

Can you please watch and review Sorry To Bother You? I feel like there's a severe lack of any reviewers I give half a shit about talking about it, with the exception of Double Toasted.

[@buildermaniac]

Yes! It was such an interesting watch. Would love to hear his thoughts

[@crazymoviekid]

My channel has a great review for it. Self promotion!

[@toneriggz]

Yes, Chris should review that and Blindspotting.

[@Saugaverse]

I have watched both EQUALIZER movies and enjoyed both of them. Everything about these movies has very strong production value. They are well worth watching if you like the genre. I would have to say "These are very good movies!"

[@blountman747]

Thank you so much for reviewing this movie I gave it about a b-minus myself as well love Denzel Washington the scene with him and Miles was just classic and it gave me chills down my spine watching it was so powerful this guy is a legend in acting hands down

[@jdsteppenzyde]

Why no mention of the television series, one of my favorites? The opening title/credits (I’ve forgotten what it is called) is one of the most chilling/disturbing ever for a tv show.

[@Deviant69]

its ok, but only that imo

[@Alex-cw3rz]

Blas yeah I just don't know how I'm unable to look away from the horror on screen. And knowing all the things they did to make it as realistic as possible, make it an amazing movie feat to me.

[@eazy_5oh103]

Idc what anyone says this movie is amazing

[@MindofLD]

I feel like if you've seen the first, from an action stand point, you've seen the second one. Of course, Denzel is the what makes the movie move...but the story between Miles and Robert and how Miles's character ends up developing is the gem here, in my opinion.

[@dylanharrington1586]

Chris and Jeremy are the GOATS of movie reviews

[@georgemills182]

I think you are correct in saying the relationship between Robert and Myles is stronger in this film, relative to the original. However, the adversaries can't quite fill the void left by the main antagonist from the original equalizer.

[@jailen4444]

Really liked the ending....20 minutes of pure atmosphere ...Great stuff :)

[@robertsaladino]

Should have kept Teddy around a little longer for the second... Great Vilian...

[@KneeoGeeo]

He sounds bored. He's not his excited old self. I struggle to watch him lately. It seems like it's a choir now.

[@KneeoGeeo]

lschroter2020 fair enough. Busy life

[@User-hy6ur]

Probably because movies these days are just ‘Good’ not great.

[@Timliu92]

As you grow older, you would not want to swear or act a bit too emotional in front of the camera all the time. Maybe Chris is sounding too 'boring' to you now, but once you have made a name for yourself doing what you love, you cannot make yourself seem unprofessional to the public eye anymore. I know you might give me Jeremy Jahns as an example to counter my argument, but he branded himself in his channel more as the 'bro' who just likes talking about movies, unlike Chris that seems to be taking it seriously.

[@User-hy6ur]

+ischroter2020 haven't seen any of those movies you just mentioned. But just cuz their better than the trash that's been coming out on netflix or theaters that are being called "movies" doesn't mean they are great. Just like you wrote :) "in my opinion is really good." Not great. But who knows, i'll watch those movies and maybe my mind will change...

[@gallolocoparisien]

They had no rights to make this movie as good as it is. The acting was top notch, characters were well developped and the final act was pure class.

[@Prince-dr6wm]

Equalizer 2 was bad and clichéd just like Jack Reacher 2. Jack Reacher, Equalizer and John Wick (1&2) are some of the best action movies of last few years.

[@denisdesmond6585]

I saw this movie in cinema last night & Chris`s review was pretty much spot on.

[@eiji81]

I agree with your review. Although I was expecting more action in Equalizer 2, I was disappointed in that aspect. It was slow and the pace kinda got you bored and wanting more action but it doesn't really give you enough until the very end.

[@joevermillion246]

Nice vid Chris keep it up! When will u release your short films or when r u going to film them

[@Do0msday]

I'm just going to wait til it's on Blu-ray. I liked the first a lot. This one seems to be a bit unoriginal and weirdly paced based on various reviews. But I do like Denzel and I'll support him by buying the Blu-ray when I can and watch when I have some time. Denzel is a generational talent and I like seeing him in these gritty action movies.

[@craigsovilla6578]

Best part is when Denzel said "It's equalizin' time".

[@blacktasticmedia3769]

Great review my man...

[@richardhawkins2647]

Finally got around to seeing it. It's a case of take a character known for helping people in impossible spots and make a movie where he's fighting his own battle! In other words take the central quality of his plot and throw it away. Great action movie, Denzel was great. But I want to see Robert MCall saving someone else's neck. That's what the Equaliser is about in my mind. They did the same with the A Team movie.

[@radionowhere2870]

I enjoyed the first one (will see this one as well). Didn't realize it was based on a tv show that I used to watch until it was mentioned in the credits.

[@predatorgamer4607]

I just came back from seeing this, the movie was good and Denzel's performance was great as always. However, I had the misfortune of not seeing the first one beforehand. Because of this I was confused on multiple occasions on what was going on as well as the relationships/backstories of not just Robert, but with the other characters as well. The movie overall is good, however I believe if I saw the first one before seeing this one, I would have enjoyed it more.

[@kerimaemina2432]

Better than James Bond and John Wick. Denzel rocks.

[@paultoy9611]

I love seeing Denzel's art.It's a little disappointing seeing less than stellar screen cohesion but anything Washington tries is at least worth sampling to me.Kind of like Eastwood or Freeman or Stallone or Reaves etc.

[@eachday9538]

I liked the slow start and the extra storylines, made it feel more like reading a novel, less of a refined standard movie story, like the difference between french fries and baled potatoes with the skin left on.

[@25_jean_dark_52]

[@dwnwind]

I just checked out this flix at my local cinema. I gave Equalizer 2, a sideways thumbs up. My major complaints about the movie were that the plot was slow and predictable. However, the action scenes were very good. The acting vacillated between a C and B. I preferred the first Equalizer a lot better. "Guilty as charged." I would wait to see it on DVD.

A little late on the review, Chris, but I’m glad you like the film. I felt the same way to about the plot and the stunt double heavy ending, but Denzel rocks as always. Not as good as the first movie, but I’d give it a B- as well.

The critics got it right ranking the first one as better than this one. It simply made Denzel an ass kicking machine. He never struggled, not even to learn who he was up against. He always knew who the bad guy was. I even got lost in my cellphone with how easy the plot in this movie worked. Action sequences were good, not horrible, not great.

I only found fault with 2 scenes really. I wanted a longer discussion between Pedro and Washington and really build the bitterness and resentment in each other. I wanted to see the anger through their dialogue instead of a resigned 'that's what it's going to be'. This is just a preference really but it seems like it would've have really honed in on this feeling like the main story. The final boss fight should have been longer and more intense. Felt cheap compared to the previous victim 15 Min before.
