 They'll give you the opportunity to do the right thing if anyone of those times Call 9-1-1 So I was talking to somebody very very very close to me about this movie They're actually extremely close to me and they knew that I was gonna see the movie They knew that I was possibly gonna talk about it on my channel and it was like brandy I don't care what you have to say anything with Denzel Washington in it is a 10 Okay, well, I guess we're about to find out aren't we my name is brandy Keith Avery and this is just my opinion Hey, what's going on everyone? Thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review for the equalizer two I really do appreciate it. You know and this stars Denzel Washington. I am a big fan of his pretty much Everybody is that is a given. I love all of his films for the most part This is also being directed by Antoine Fuqua Big fan of his as well. He did the Magnificent 7. He did training day. Of course, you know, those are all Denzel Washington films the first film came out in 2014 And this is a sequel kind of funny behind the scenes instead of them calling this movie the equalizer They were us calling this the sequelizer So I just kind of thought that was a little cute or whatever and with Denzel Washington having over like 50 plus Critics and like TV and television, you know, this is like, you know, his first sequel ever and I just kind of thought that was fascinating But the equalizer what it is about what? Denzel Washington's character is a lift driver And you know, you can just kind of tell from the very beginning and even the first film that that's not really the life That he lives. I mean his past he was ex-military special forces has all this training You know was delving in a lot of shady business cleaning up this cleaning up that not doing Equalizing type things when it is necessary and that's just kind of where you know His character is in this film as far as the part two that we're talking about now and it relating to the first one I saw no relation to it at all these really this really doesn't even feel like a sequel This feels like, you know a black man in a movie going around and kicking people's butts And if that's kind of what you want to see going into this for the most part You will be satisfied. I mean, and that's because of the lead Denzel Washington He's great when he is on the screen when he pops up, you know He steals the room and just kind of gains everybody's attention. I think he does that in real life I've never met him, but he definitely does do it in this film And what I most liked about his character is just the confidence that he has he is calm cool Collected just in every instance, you know in this film. It's just like, you know No matter what every when he walks into a room. It's not even like he's doing it on purpose or his training It was like he was programmed to do this like from like birth like in the in the tube or whatever You know that, you know, he's just always calculating something and just trying to find out where all the exes are or you know All the assets are and things like that and I just kind of just like that, you know with this character And then I can tell that it's a character because he is separating himself from the Denzel Washington I know in real life, you know to Robert McCall in this film As far as the action is concerned and choreography that there was all great. It was all lovely He's done it doing what he did in the first man where he kind of times How long that he has to take out his foes and things like that and it's very very entertaining If you do want to just go see a movie with you know a man He can but a black man as far as the stories are concerned I said stories pull because there are multiple stories in this movie You have your main plot and then you have a number of subplots and there was a subplot that had to do with Another youth another black dude in this movie and I liked him a lot You know, there was I don't know his name. I didn't bother to look it up But you know, he had a nice strong presence and you know, Robert McCall in this movie is just trying to get him You know out of the street life You know I'm saying that really has no future Unless you're gonna end up dead six feet on the ground or in prison somewhere and to me I actually found that plot point more interesting then the main plot point because You know, it just really show Denzel Washington's character humanity in this film and you know, it was you know, just very entertaining And initially I thought that this was just gonna be like just some little side story They you know that you know, you kind of see and you kind of forget about but they actually spent a lot of time there And that is something that I appreciate in the film but that one downfall that I have about that is they actually spent too much time there and Trying to balance that with the rest of the family where you kind of feel like you're watching two to three or four different movies You know at the same time. I mean like it just kind of had no Relation at all and the main plot point is, you know, I was interested But at the same time I was watching it and I was like, I really don't have any idea What's going on and who this character is and why they're so important and why they're trying to get this and if they don't Get it. What's this gonna happen? I mean, I just don't know. I mean from Just thinking about it right now at the top of my head. It's just like, okay Hey, you know, some people from Denzel Washington's past are trying to do this and that and you know He has to take them down and that's just really it. I mean, it's like there's one character in here We see him all the time Actually, I don't want to tell you his name because I don't want to spoil the film for you But when he popped up on the screen It was so blatantly obvious that this dude was crooked that he's possibly gonna turn at the end that he's just really the Bad guy. I mean they telegraphed this thing from 50,000 miles away. I don't know. It was just kind of a bummer The ending of this film was just kind of anti-climatic for me It really didn't do anything for me and I found the whole thing just completely unnecessary Like why does the final showdown have to happen here? I like Anton Fukua for the most part in all the decisions he made in this film But I feel that he was just reaching a little too far to have no I'm not gonna spoil it for you But I just it just didn't do anything for me and with these films and Denzel Washington going around kicking everybody's But I know that he has training and things like that early on in the film I like that he's able to use anything on him as a weapon. You saw it on the trail I mean he whoops somebody with the credit card, you know, that's just freaking badass. I don't care You know what you have to say I mean, it's the equivalent of a knife the way he used it in the film But the fact that it's just a credit card and he doesn't have to think about it He can just see something and just and use it You know, I find that very fascinating The only down gripe that I have is towards the end of the film and they did this in the first film too Is it some of the tools that he used to take down his foes? I just kind of feel it completely unnecessary I mean like you didn't have to do that You don't have to create a contraption to where it shoots the harpoon and cuts the rope and this thing falls down and Swoops them on the leg and breaks it three ways and then when he falls down He knocks over this shelf over here that does this I mean I may sound and look cool or not But I mean if you could have just went up to him and snapped his neck shot him in the face Or stab them in the stomach and get the job done. Why didn't you just do that? I mean because there were just some kills in this movie to where I kind of found it completely unnecessary It's like oh, they're just trying to I don't know sir fanboys, but I don't know anybody that would be a fanboy for Equalize the film. I mean I enjoyed the film. I didn't hate it, but at the same time I Walked away just kind of like yeah, that was cool. I mean it was worth the viewing But you know if I never saw it again I would not lose any sleep if I had to rate the equalizer 2 out of a 1 out of 10 I'm gonna give it a 6.5 out of 10. Yes a 6.5 out of 10 Which is still a positive rating but guys that is just my opinion for the equalizer 2 Have you seen it or do you want to see it? Have I turned you on? Have I turned you off?
