O Protetor 2

Nothing special here, very predictable plot, which is just an excuse to let the equalizer kick some bad guys ass. Anyways, it's so enjoyable to see good old Denzel being that superhero, you just feel bad for all those bad guys who dare to fight him.. This movie is a bit slow, with some scenes that stretch too much, could have been done better but I'm a big fan of Denzel, who is an amazing actor and I enjoy seeing any movie he plays in especially action movies. Looking forward to another sequel, this can be a long franchise hopefully with better plots and story.

Now depending on how you will see things, you may like the way this goes story-wise or you may hate it. First of all it's not just a rehash of what we saw in the first movie. It also tries to combine a few storylines, that tie together more or less. You have an elderly, a young student sort of thing, a mentor thing and what the Equalizer is good at of course.

Now some may feel that it all is a bit convoluted. Others may cherish that it tries so many things and steers things away from what the first one achieved (being straight forward and all). I liked the sequel even though I didn't expect it to go that way at all. Still it has some really good stunts and there is obviously violence too. With the charisma of Denzel you can never really go wrong character wise either of course. Strong sequel overall

If there's anyone in Hollywood that I would believe is actually a real life bada**, it's probably Denzel Washington. The first Equalizer was a surprisingly brutal and visceral action film that gave Liam Neeson movies a run for its money. While the sequel is full of just as many, if not more, incredible kill sequences by Denzel's character, I think there's a lack of connection I felt this time around. I wasn't nearly as connected to the story, and perhaps that's because the revenge didn't feel as sweet this time around. The ending of the film is a great sequence on its own and there are certain scenes I will certainly revisit, but I'm not sure the film as a whole works quite as well.

6.6/10

Yes ,, maybe the plot was a bit predictable but in no way it was slow ,, in fact i can't believe how fast it went in few parts ,, and Denzel did just a mesmerizing job ,, and his speech with the kid "Miles" after he found him with the gang !! Oh man !! it was powerful ... Acting level infinity.

Before watching the movie i knew "Chloë Grace Moretz" won't be in it ,, so i went wondering like how it'll work ,, and my thoughts went to the "Kingsman" movies .. but after watching the first movie again and then this one ,, i realized that this movie is all about Denzel Washington and boy i liked it this way.

back to the story itself ,, it was good ,,as some of the reviews will probably say a bit expected,, but in my opinion,, it was just perfect,, singled out The Equalizer and put him on another category.

final thought ,, watching the first movie might not be of necessity but i did it either way .. As for this one it is without a doubt so recommended.

The Equalizer 2 had less action and less fighting than the first but it was no less good. It had a more serious and somber tone and it was definitely more cerebral. Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) was on the trail of those responsible for his friend's death. He had to use some shrewd investigative skills to discover whether or not her death was intentional and who the killers were. But, while Robert was dealing with that he still had time to do some clean up in his hometown of Boston--and I mean clean up in every sense of the words.

I liked the different characters in this movie and I particularly liked Robert's interaction with Miles (Ashton Sanders), the young African American male headed down the wrong path. The high-energy, pulse-racing fights weren't aplenty like the first installment but in their place was a little more substance. It was a fine trade off.
