I can't believe they are making a sequel to this movie. The first one ended so perfectly, not sure what there is to add to it.

Aweeeeeesome. Emily Blunt's story in the first movie was secondary to Del Torro's "lone wolf" drama and the CIA's influence on the rest of the world anyway so it looks like the sequel will focus on that.

The director is completely unknown to me though so he doesn't get the benefit of doubt that Villenueve has. Hopefully it's a great movie because the first one was excellent

Meh. No Denis or Blunt, and the first does not need a sequel.

Hm, this funny shooting, as showed Del Torro in the clip, it is possible?

No Denis, Deakins, or Johan.

May as well be a completely different movie.

Yes. Bump firing a rifle does something similar.

Just watched the Sicario (1) last night after coming across this trailer online a few days ago. Trailer looks decent but could see a flop with different director and no follow up on Blunt.

Solid movie although the ending left me a bit unsure about how I was supposed to feel- LOL!

I'll take movies that do not need a sequel for $100, Alex.

Cash grab. Nothing more.

I hope it's not terrible

As the posters above I dont really see a need for a sequel for Sicario.

But considering all the remakes and sequels on bad movies that are done these days, perhaps doing a sequel on a really good movie is not so bad after all.

Part of the enjoyment of the first was the fish out of water tension Emily Blunts character provided. A movie just about the Sicario would lose something imo.

It’s not terrible. But it’s not good.

 

[kihei]

A lead-footed, poorly focused attempt to start a franchise with the most utterly preposterous ending that I have seen in I don't know how long. Artistically, it is several thousand light years removed from the original. Think Jaws 2 (and thanks to Nyquil for that comparison).

 

[MAHJ71]

Saw this on Friday.

Overall: Not horrible but not even close to as good as the first one. Typical sequel let down, IMO.

 

[ShootIt]

Bummer, still want to see it though.

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

I think it was a good action movie in the raw/realistic violence genre.

The first one was a master piece and one that I have seen 4 times by now. The sequal I will eventually see again but no hurry.

I do look forward to the 3rd one. Great actors and the red line story line is an interesting one.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Sicario is a fantastic action thriller where the tension never lets up for a second.

Sicario 2 is riddled with inconsistencies, implausible decisions/twists, poor pacing, and a lot of bad child acting.
