| ♥♥♥♥♥ | by far the best of the sequels |
| While it's quite the norm now to make sequels to Rambo, Die Hard, Terminator, etc 15-20 years later, the eight year wait between Death Wish and this seemed interminable. Readers by now know what these films are about. No one will mistake these films for being Oscar nominated, but where they do excel is the need for vengeance fulfilled. And sadly, there aren't any Bronson's in Hollywood today. What I enjoyed about the first two is Charles' believability and physicality. He's running, jumping, shooting and punching and you're rooting for him the entire time. He absolutely looks the part and excels in the role of vigilante. What I find more enjoyable in II is he knows who's responsible this time and expels the criminals one by one with the hospital room fight at the end being the best part of the film. Also, the clearly drawn Clark Kent/Superman parallel of Kersey's architect by day, vigilante by night with change in clothing to further support this. The return of Vincent Gardenia connects both films and the change to Los Angeles makes for a more sinister, but still entertaining city backdrop. Sadly, the sequels following this don't have the same connectivity or craftsmanship as Charles is reduced to standing still with any artillery blazing until he comes off as a mockery of his once potent character. | |
