John Wick 4 (film)

The 3rd movie was a bit of a downstep from the previous two ... but ... that's only judging against a very high bar. JW3 was still a lot of fun and I definitely wanna see JW4. Bring it on!

Agreed and agreed... I also liked how they knew how to make Halle Berry's character good. She's not out there squaring off against opponents she's physically smaller and lighter than (*cough* Birds of Prey *cough*), but she's using her two dogs in a very skilled way to multitask her mass killing, lol, plus the necessary skills with the guns - Berry getting to show off she was training for it just as hard as Reeves.

The fight choreography (including with the dogs) was like ballet!

The fight choreography (including with the dogs) was like ballet! Yeah! One of the things I love about the John Wick movies is that the key creatives really understand action choreography and how to film it. There's so many films where you can't see the craft behind the action because it's all shitty shaky cam and close ups - but the John Wick films really should you what's going on, you can see the training the actors have gone through, you can see the craft by the stunt teams to create these sequences, and it's all come together beautifully. They're like the Formula 1 of action movies. Top tier.

I find the John Wick movies going the Fast and Furious way by going more over the top each movie, I hope they dial it back in the forth.

I’ve enjoyed all three, but the original is the crowning jewel. The sequels have gotten a bit “busy”. Like the Matrix sequels, it’s like they’re taking their ideas too far, when the simplicity is what worked the first go round. I mean, every person on the planet is a mercenary in the sequels! Every single character on screen is getting those text messages about the price on Wick’s head??

The sequels have expanded it perhaps a smidge too much, but I wouldn't say it's got the bloat or self-serious problem that Matrix 2 and 3 suffered from (despite their successes). The amount of assassins does seem quite silly by now, though. Is there really that much work going around?! That said, though, JW2 and JW3 are fucking rad. Sure, the purity and straight forward clean nature of the first movie can never be beaten. However, JW2 impressively upped the scale. JW3 is the least of the three, but on it's own high grading scale it stands way above many other films in the similar genre.

Fuck yeah! Looks awesome! You can't help but wonder why there are so many assassins in the John Wick world. Is there really that much assassinating needed doing? You'd have thought their crime rate would be almost nothing.

Reminds me of Elon's comment regards the bizarre state Twitter was in, where towards the end of a working day, there were more canteen staff in the building, than other staff...

Not long now.... And a fat Scott Adkins? Just take all my money!

Seeing it a week Wed...

A reasonable flick. A few great moments. Lots of more average moments. And a couple of strange almost bonkers choices. eg: A blind super duper assassin able to fight in blade and gun fights anywhere - Frustratingly daft choice that TBH damaged the film for me! The least of the 4, but OK.
