Is Sicario II as good as the first one? It’s one of my favorites. IMO no. The second one is good but the first is better.... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS Agree

No Country For Old Men is outstanding. One of the few films that does the book justice. Even more so, it IMPROVED my enjoyment of the book having mental pictures of the characters in my mind’s eye, as I saw the film before reading the book. Then, I went back and watched the film immediately again, and it was even better for having read the book. A rare experience. Same here. Sent me on a Cormac McCarthy reading binge. If you haven't read Blood Meridian, start today.

It’s one of my favorites. IMO Day of the Soldado is better than Sicarrio. Significantly so. The first is definitely worth watching, but the second is better. The HALO drop and shootout alone is worth the price of admission and admission ain't cheap anymore. Agree.

This is my new favorite movie.
I have plenty of time to watch them now
What is yours?
whelennut Has to be a classic. I've watched it three or four times. The title is taken from the opening line of 20th-century Irish poet William Butler Yeats' poem "Sailing to Byzantium":[32] That is no country for old men. The young In one another's arms, birds in the trees – Those dying generations – at their song, The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas, Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten, born, and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect Thanks for the poem.

No. Thought the plot was much cleaner and the movie flowed better. That is simply an interesting side note.

Did the ending of the book make any sense whatsoever because the ending of the movie didn't. Not to me anyway.
