Sadly, the shadowy villain behind the whole thing, the Adjudicator, is far from impressive.

Instead,she comes across as nothing more than a suit, not intimidating enough to make an impression.

John Wick: Chapter 2is usually the most forgettable entry in the saga.

It’s an incredible movie, but the plot is less thrilling than its predecessor or its sequels.

Moreover, the villain is also somewhat lacking.

Like D’Antonio, the Marquis is very much a spoiled child.

However, Skarsgard injects him with such a larger-than-life flair that he’s impossible to resist.

However, the real villain is his father, Viggo, played by the always-greatMichael Nyqvist.

Viggo is John’s former employer and knows just what the Baba Yaga is capable of.
