Looking forward to it.. But expecting to be let down like with all the others.
That's the great thing about this one is that it's tied to the originals but isn't dependant on them.

You didn't like Force Awakens? You probably commented in a previous thread in the matter.

I didnt mind it... but there wasnt much to it. Weak plot I thought.
My kid loved it so I'm fine with it.

Now I gottta admit that the trailers for this movie are pretty cool... but trailers can be so deceitful.

Notice how his buddy had him in the sniper scope 3 or 4 times and could have EASILY killed him? You think theyd learn something from that. He coulda been taken out by a sniper at any point.

first one had a basic AF story yet it was still orgasmic gunplay.
Exactly; that was what was so solid about it. It was a basic but reinforced story; it didn't try to go complex where storylines start tripping over themselves and falling apart; it kept it simple but regularly reminded us of why that event was so important to him.

It didn't start going on about complex assassin unions and fucking blood oaths and all that hammy shit

Meh


Jason Bourne would beat him to death with his stuffed dog in about 3 seconds

After reading so much about the first one I felt a little let down once I saw it. Cool movie, I'll watch part two but I'm not counting the days.

Out of curiosity, what about it left you felt let down?

I too had heard about how it was "the best action movie EVAR!!!!" I asked what the story was and was told "Retired hitman has his dog killed and his car stolen by someone in the mob, so he kills the entire mob. The action sequences are incredible." To me it delivered on all promises and is the BEST ACTION MOVIE EVAR!!!

There was nothing to put my finger on specifically, just all the hype had my hopes so high and I felt a little disappointed. It's a cool film with lots of good scenes but just didn't have me feeling "WOW!" Quite a few times it just seemed too cliché. Russian bad guys, retired hitman out for revenge, unstoppable man that can take out the worst and only get a scratch.... Ya I know it's not a documentary lol. I dunno, maybe these type of action movies just are not the genre for me. I'll watch part two but I'm nowhere near the level excitement of some of you. It's way better than Bad boys at least. Those movies are brutal.

Wow, I want that movie poster. (It comes out my anniversary weekend) Not sure what it is with them releasing action movies for my anniversary but I appreciate it. Last year it was Deadpool. Just got this poster in the mail today:
