        Is the first one any good? I don’t like to jump straight into sequels without the obligatory background from the first ones.

          Yup, really good. Like if John wick is a scalpel, this guy is a rusty machete. And John wick started over a puppy and a classic car, well, this guy starts his rampage over a “kitty cat bracelet” it’s on Amazon prime.

          The first one has one of my favorite scenes in a movie ever.

          The second one is more of the same and I enjoyed it, but it didn’t quite surprise/hit like the first.

      It’s mildly amusing. Neeson is fantastic. There are really only two LOL jokes and they give one away in the trailer.

      The other one is even more subversive than that one…

        I would say that’s sort of the style of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker films. Airplane! was the same way, with a whole bunch of chuckle jokes throughout and then a few moments of genuinely laughing (at least in my experience)

      Haven’t yet. But saw the new Superman. I liked the part where (SPOILER) Bibi is dropped from the sky lol
