Added the second trailer for John Wick 2.
Perhaps the least interesting for me is “The Great Wall,” and that’s because Zhang Yimou is driving and I’m afraid that a Hollywood blockbuster is not his domain.
I'm really looking forward to John Wick and have high hopes for it. I’m looking forward to “Rangers” less, because I’m afraid that the film will be turned into another “Super,” but “Ninjak” is just a fan project that you can follow and even get something from.
Rangers. Everything else did not even arouse a shadow of interest.
Of course John Wick 2, the rest is probably bullshit.
