Re: The Continental [John Wick Prequel, Action, Drama, Mini-Series]Saw the first episode. Not impressed. Bad CGI and acting. Shame, I wanted to like it. DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

Re: The Continental [John Wick Prequel, Action, Drama, Mini-Series]1x1 - Brothers in Arms - Really great '70's music throughout, probably the best part of the show, and much more interesting story than John Wick 4. Insane amount of coverage! Felt like a movie. The characters and setting are gritty and compelling. Great action scenes from Frankie, edge of my seat. Mel Gibson = the weakest link, he brought the calibre of the show down. It's a 3 part mini-series, and definitely feels more like a movie than your average TV show, especially with the 1 hour 30 minute run time. @Wizard, that was a fast response, surprised you even watched it, you hate John Wick, weird.

Indeed, JW3 and 4 were terrible. 1 and 2 were good. As I said, I wanted to like it, but just couldn't. DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

Re: The Continental [John Wick Prequel, Action, Drama, Mini-Series]I liked 1x1! They made New York feel authentically gritty and dirty, based on what I read about those years and heard from people who lived there back in the days. Yes, felt almost like a movie.

Lots of famous tracks in the show, must have paid a fortune to play them all, glad they did! I'm usually a big fan of Mel Gibson, but he felt a bit off in this I agree. ▼Spoiler Cool action scenes tho, looking forward to the next episode.
Re: The Continental [John Wick Prequel, Action, Drama, Mini-Series]I thought it was pretty good but not quite the same without Christopher Walken

Re: The Continental [John Wick Prequel, Action, Drama, Mini-Series]I just watched most of ep 1 tonight (ran out of time). I liked it, too. Colin Woodell was good as a younger Ian McShane. I can kind of see how the voice and way of speaking could mature into McShane. Mel Gibson was maybe a tad dramatic, but Winston becomes more dramatic as he ages, too. Maybe Gibson's character influenced Winston. Anyway, I'm watching the rest.
Re: The Continental [John Wick Prequel, Action, Drama, Mini-Series]Finished it. 8/10 1x3: ▼Spoiler I've enjoyed watching this show more than the first and fourth John Wick movie. Everything looked great, the fights were good throughout, causing expensive(-looking) and mostly realistic damage to the settings.

Re: The Continental [John Wick Prequel, Action, Drama, Mini-Series]I just finished it. I really love Gene. Sadly, it got pretty predictable. This does not mean I won't watch any other Wick spin-offs - especially if they do a "bringing up John Wick" thing. 13 2023-10-09 02:16:45 (edited by paisley1 2023-10-09 03:45:36)
Re: The Continental [John Wick Prequel, Action, Drama, Mini-Series]1x3 - I enjoy the world building and John Wick lore, but because a lot of this episode was a long drawn out action sequence we've seen a million times, I found myself fast forwarding.
