No, I think the first film is the better film, Chapter 2 was too "unrealistic", the amount of times John Wick gets hit by multiple fast moving cars and then getting back up is ridiculous and I just couldn't stop laughing because of it.

I preferred the first by far. This was an overly chaotic mess that felt more like a methed up video game rampage. Chapter one was more memorable and emotionally charged.

I might like the first just a little better, but love both!

The second was quite an improvement on the first. The first one was pretty fun, but forgettable. The second had an intriguing world to go with the action.

I do not think so. Out of the three films it is the weakest - but still a good one. The first movie used a good amount of time of establishing Wick and building up tension, and I also think the antagonists were great. From a loathsome spoilt kid to a bad guy with a tad or moral. The second movie should have done more to tell a story of the relationship Wick had with Gianna. Aurelio didn't do much more than just run all the time. Ares almost felt more like the main villain. They also missed the opportunity to name Wick's new dog after Dafoe's character, Marcus, which I thought would have been a nice touch since he saved him. And as some other posts mentioned Wick is just too immortal in this movie. No matter if it is "state of the art body armor" it felt a bit lazy to just get away with a lot of stuff. Whilst it is a good action movie, it feels like it was just there to set up the third movie, which is really good as well. So far a really good trilogy, and I am looking forward to Chapter 4 when it is ready. :)

Edit: I totally forgot Cassian. A great character I think they could have used in the hunt for Aurelio as well, teaming up with Wick and then maybe dying in the end after he formed a friendship with Wick. Just a quick idea. :D
