Do you have to watch the first John Wick movie to watch the second movie?

Unfortunately, Netflix only has part 2 on offer. Wonder if you can watch the movie solo or if you should watch part one beforehand.

The quality of the film is rather exaggerated action and less the story. Since you can confidently enter with the second part.

It would be recommendable to have already seen the first part, but you will be able to understand part 2 story-wise as well.

He starts just a few minutes after the first of the first

I would start with part one. The film series may be very action-heavy, but only turning off the brain is not. JWs motives you understand after chapter 1 I think much better.
