A typical monster movie with a pretty predictable plot. However, the CG quality is super and the fight scenes are really entertaining. MUST be seen in IMAX for a full experience of the immense size of these things!

In this chapter, you get to know more about the equalizer, his past, his friends/foes, and his emotional directions. The drama in this movie goes well on bar with the first one. However, the action sequences suffer a lot. There are literally about 4 sequences of which only one is comparable to the first movie (the loft scene). The movie loses its way in dialogues and emotional breakdowns. The plot is predictable though, and less engaging than the first chapter. However, Denzel is such a huge actor that regardless how good or bad is the script he makes you feel it deeply.

If you did not watch the prequel then you will mostly enjoy it like any action movie, but if you have watched the magnificent part 1 with all the gore and drama, then your expectations may be higher than they should be.

The movie features decent concept, acting, and cinematography, while throwing audience with terrible story, development, and ending. The idea over which the movie is built up shows a moving glimpse of mental struggles and compulsory actions. It could swiftly transit a large load of emotions into spectators, mainly through the decent acting of main character. It will easily keep you on your toes, until you know about her illness! after that, almost no valuable scenes could be observed. Through out the movie there are zero twists or developments, but would be found watchable for some reason. The really terrible thing that even ruin that mediocre impression is the ending. It is not an open ending, not a closed one, not a happy or sad one. It is just a blunt cut with the credits down leaving you puzzled, like literally "what? is that it?!", it is disappointing that it starts really good and then go down faster than flush water. You can watch 1/3 of the movie and you will be very happy about it, and then check on spoilers to know the rest, or probably no need, it is bluntly predictable anyways.
