agreed, theres no way this can compete with the original. it needs to stay undefined (subjective viewer assumptions) for it to be cool. detailed exposition completely ruins the mystique
And no keanu? seems ... weak. i dont see a season 2

Honestly the series ran it’s course after the 1st one anyways but the Hollywood machine needed Keanu in another quadrillogy.
The mythical way the “world” operated was novel in the first film but I do not condone fleshing out an entire “world” based off the hotel rules which were becoming a trite plot point as it is.

By the second movie I was laughing at how the entire world seemed to be secret super assassins. As if the whole economy revolved around gold coins and killing people. It totally lost any connection to the real world and only got wackier from there.
Great action choreography though.

I would argue Goslings The Gray Man is done better. Similar type of film but better.

That’s when I just imagined that the John Wick universe was just another level of the Matrix, and it all clicked into place and that aspect of it didn’t bother me any more.
