Eq2 was very good, on par with the first one. One of the best lines in a movie, that isn’t really over the top overdone is in the first Equalizer movie where McCall’s ex CIA boss says that he isn’t asking for help, he’s asking for permission....
Saw Equalizer 2 over the weekend and now rewatching the first one...

Looking forward to seeing it. The trailers look pretty good.
I think the first one has been running non stop on either TNT or TBS. LOL.
Love Denzel and the first movie, but doesn't hold a candle to the TV series.

TV series was good but movie has brought a degree of physicality to the character / role that was not in the TV series. Makes it more modern, exciting. Kind of like the recent James Bond movies as compared to say Roger Moore.
I liked the old TV series but I liked the first movie better than the TV series.
Its like Fuqua took the best of Man on Fire and The (series) Equalizer and combined them into make a caring but woe unto those that piss him off character. I like that.
I'm pumped for E2. First one was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.
Saw it. Loved the hedge funder frat boys getting taken apart. Could not watch the “finger” scene - just had to listen to it, but enjoyed the aftermath
Which hand... are you left or right handed... ouch!
"Physicality" has a visceral appeal. Intellectually there is no contest between the TV series and the movie(s).
I will have to go back and watch some of those old shows. That clip was more physical than I remember.
I enjoyed that series on TV.
saw it yesterday, far more emotionally gripping and tense than the first one
and Denzel really delivers . . . that scene in the drug den with his young protege ("you don't know death!") was downright scary.
