Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
There hasn't been a bad John Wick movie yet, it's a must watch for sure.

Really? Three was not great.
The fight scenes were just awful, the timing was off on most of them. Too many people standing around waiting to be hit.

I like the story of John Wick, especially the secret society and the code and rules they live by. As for Wizard complaining about the fight choreography of John Wick 3....you go do it better, lolz!

It's so well done, I'm exhausted just watching that knife fight scene; too into it.
This fight is good too:

Too old for fight scenes like this. He doesn't have the moves any more.
Like Picard - Way to old for what he's trying to do
Time to retire methinks

These are actually very realistic looking fight scenes imo, not fake ones where the speed is artificially cranked up, tons of wires being used or the hero is replaced by an asian double.

Too old my ass, I bet he's a damn sight fitter than the majority of people half his age. The fact he pulls these movies off so damn well says it all in my book.

Thanks, trailer looks good.
Also: Great location scout, and they put to good use what he (?) found!

Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
Just thought i'd chime in. For me, John Wick 1 was reasonably good. Decent story. Didn't like the bit with the dog.
Everyhting since then has reminded me of Steven Seagal films. No superpowers, yet 20, 30, 40, 50 enemies just go down with little more than a flick of his wrist. Nah.
At least as Neo he had some 'juice'.
Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
I really like Keanu and enjoyed John Wick 1 & 2 but really disliked 3.
I'll definitely give this a go but tbh, I thought the trailer was pretty bad, well not that it was a "bad" trailer but it didn't make the movie appealing to me.
If it wasn't a John Wick movie with Keanu, this trailer wouldn't convince me to see the movie.
Re: John Wick: Chapter 4

Agreed, 3 was really bad.
Not sure if it was because of the really bad fight scenes or the fact that he was no longer fighting alone or that it was just a bad story.

Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
So many bullets! You guys see this yet? Just out in theaters, it's so long, no story, and solid gunfire for like 3 hours.
Terrible, but worth it!
In this pic, his tie is an hour glass and instead of sand, bullets!
Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
I watched it a few days ago. There was a point where I wondered how he seemed to have an unlimited supply of bullets he shot so many for so long a duration. I would think he'd be terribly weighed down with all that ammo supply on his person. At least I finally saw him reload his gun.
John Wick is ok, I've watched every one that's come out so far but man, at the end of the day that's just so unreal but entertaining I suppose.
Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
I'm going to wait until I can see it at home...3 hours in a theater with other people...

Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
i dont even remember the first three.... sigh.
recap anyone?
Someone hurt his dog, he got angry, killed half a city and now cannot stop making movies, probably there will be a crossover movie Fast & Furios 17: The Family Meets John Wick 9.
Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
Almost finished watching 4. Wow, it's even worse than 3.
Terrible fighting scenes, awful car chase and fighting around Paris, just really really bad
Edit To Add:
Towards the end I got bored and even skipped past parts of the fighting. The entire "stairs" thing was skipped.
I even saw the ending coming too.
Either I have watched too many films/tv shows (probable) or stuff nowadays is just far to boring and predicable.

Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
I enjoyed that the shots ending up in concrete looked pretty real. Not these fake muzzle fire only shots we get to see sooo often. No idea if it could be like this in reality, or if enough of the created concrete dust (I read it's nasty in your eyes) would end up in their eyes to at least temporarily blind them, but I liked what I saw.
Some very creative killings, like ...
Some stunts were really ambitious, like the shooting and driving around the Arc de Triomphe. And a bit silly at the same time: everybody continuing to drive at high speed while there are people in the road...
And while the "let's film the action from above while we pretend that there's no ceiling while moving from room to room" one-shot-scene in the last third of the movie was quite unique and probably challenging to produce, that perspective pulled me out of the action.
And there were some things that didn't make any sense, like no police showing up in the middle of Paris after so many shots were fired, but I still gave this movie a 7/10.

Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
I liked it the same as the others. Entertaining but pretty much the same movie. Might help that I watched it 2.5x speed. Just enough non-action scenes to pretend it's not just one long ridiculously improbable action scene.
Re: John Wick: Chapter 4
Most of the fighting seemed like it was a practice run, it didn't seem smooth enough. There were times when they were a bit too careful in grabbing and throwing.
I liked the nunchuck windmill thing in the trophy room.
