the best of the sequels with a handful of cool moments, but still meh
btw how did they know that they should kill off charon since he won't be around for the sequels?
Yes, that was the plot. What I'm saying is that originally, most of the shit that guy was doing was supposed to be things done by Charon's character but he died. Because Mr. Nobody adds frickall to the plot other than occasionally saving John's ass. A black dude with a dog. It was originally Charon fulfilling that role.
>or they froze him and he's in the future like Demolition Man
That would be pretty fun to watch, but Keanu is getting too old for action sequences.
But I'd totally watch it if that happened even if it sounds dumb.
This is one of the better pure-action nonstop-fighting movie series. The choreography is some of the best I've seen, especially when you consider how many people are fighting simultaneously. The plot is simple and the characters are too, but it's sufficient to tell the story and stay engaged.
>John wakes up in hell >finds out his wife is there as well >so is his dog >a duke of hell offers redemption for his wife and dog if he kills an army of demons >it's just a retelling of the impossible mission from Viggo that got him out in the first place, but in a New York stylised as hell, also known as New York

cant help but thinking if there was only one competent shooter John Wick would be dead before the first movie ended. Seriously in movie 4 I took the time to look at what all the enemies were doing and they were constantly shuffling around doing anything but pointing the shooting iron at the mr wick.
After part 1. Wick just runs out in the open. Good thing every killer doesn't cover or rifles. Just 1 rifle guy and hes dead but nope they all run at him.
I think they dropped the ball. Keanu is actually getting to be too old for this shit, and he's not anywhere close to killing the High Table. I don't know why they insist on giving John Wick a happy ending. Just let him kill everyone.
Ipman got too much focus. Random black man got too much focus. John Wick kicked the least amount of ass in this movie. John Wick 5 needs more Keanu doing things and less random black man doing things.
1 was perfect and should've stopped there
2 was still very good, started pushing it with the everyone is an assassin bullshit
3 first half was absolute dogshit, the hotel shootout is the only part worth watching
4 eh
1 was just a standard mindless action flick with all the villains being afraid of the MCs plot armor (but still fighting him anyway.) It's a solid film but there's nothing really special about it outside of the little lore nuggets in it. Everyone just overrated it because they had little to no expectations for Keanu at that point. The sequels expanding the lore and providing some god tier cinematography and tone are infinitely more interesting.
The first one was popular because it came after decades of shit Hollywood action movies with constant cutting and Greengrass-style shaky cam shit.
Granted The Raid had already broken that curse, bringing some of the good Asian style action cinema to Hollywood, but it was still very niche, compared to John Wick.
It worked as a single action movie with a silly plot and not taking itself seriously.
Then they tried to take that silly premise, and expand it into a real "lore", and it started to all fall apart.
The lore in these movies makes 0 sense, and only single digit IQs think it's incredibly interesting.
The action is still good (although even that escalated into having no weight and becoming too farcical) but they should've just kept making unrelated action movies in new universes, instead of trying to pretend they had this amazingly deep lore in mind.
The "expanded assassin universe" got way too out of hand and cartoony. I liked they just showed you bits of some deeper world in the first movie. But the whole "walk into the middle of this desert and the council of assassin lords third wing will be there with your ancient quest" shit. It just got too out there.
And a massive shootout at the fricking arc du triumph in Paris and no cops show up??
The whole lore aspect just got way too out of hand. It would have been better if they kept it more down to earth.
I'm convinced that everyone in the John Wick world was an assassin except the dog.
Explains why no one's ever really bothered by shit erupting everywhere all the time.
Stupid and unrealistic, should have just stuck with the first one. The whole "world is full of hidden esoteric symbols/trinkets and the shadow organization has an employee in literally every fricking building" is a stupid and lame concept. I think it was at the end of 3 where John is talking to the head of The Continental in the park and he literally commands like 100 people walking around to turn on John as a show of force. That scene almost made me fricking puke. Not to mention the entire movie is just him killing like 500 people. Don't you frickers get bored after he's killed 50? Feels like this movie is designed for zoomers with how nonstop action it is.
I just don't know why this series has such fanfare after the first movie, which has a slightly grundgy charm to it you barely see at all anymore in big budget movies.
The sequels are overindulgent and there's way too much plot and lore I couldn't give less of a shit about, but in terms of production value there's nothing else like it
The first movie is still my personal favorite but upon rewatching it a while ago I was reminded of how cheap it is, literal Steven Seagal eastern european DTV type shit with a car commercial tier buttrock score and cut corners everywhere. The sequels go much bigger and maybe that's not your thing but you can't deny you can't see every penny on screen
>The Italian brother, the troony from Parabellum, and the French twink in this movie are all high-ranking Table members >They never show off any skills and are pitiful when actually confronted by a threat
At least in the first movie, the Russian bad guy actually faced off against Keanu at the end. Scott Adkins should have been the main villain in this.
almost 3 hours of dogshit action. Incredible how there is only one good action sequence. People said 3 was bad, but that had many great set pieces and a decent villain. Blind samurai dodging bullets and deflecting them was just too anime for me to enjoy. If this was part 1 the blind guy would be stealthy and kill people from behind or something.
You can't marathon a movie, newbie
You mean YOU can't, chump.
Subhuman, be gone

>maratho a single movie
Touch grass
the best of the sequels with a handful of cool moments, but still meh
btw how did they know that they should kill off charon since he won't be around for the sequels?
"THEY" were onto him.
He asked for more money and they tricked him into taking vaxx as part of the contract.
I'm pretty sure that random nig with the dog was supposed to be Charon, but sadly Lance Reddick passed.
No, Mr. Nobody (that's the guy's name) was just a bounty hunter. Charon was executed because Winston failed to kill JW
Yes, that was the plot. What I'm saying is that originally, most of the shit that guy was doing was supposed to be things done by Charon's character but he died. Because Mr. Nobody adds frickall to the plot other than occasionally saving John's ass. A black dude with a dog. It was originally Charon fulfilling that role.
That's what I thought you meant but I couldn't find anything in the movie references describing that. It's definitely probable though
Killa Harkan? More like Kino Harkan
>Saves your movie in 1 scene
If they do a sequel it has to REALLY jump the shark. He's either in hell, space, or they froze him and he's in the future like Demolition Man.
Caught me off guard how good that scene was.
>or they froze him and he's in the future like Demolition Man
That would be pretty fun to watch, but Keanu is getting too old for action sequences.
But I'd totally watch it if that happened even if it sounds dumb.
shudv stopped at the first
Meh, the series was ok.
sure chud
>ME LIKE WHEN MAN SHOT GUN
Dummy
why would they ... kill him off?
Is he really dead?
no

>Constantine and John wick crossover
Hollywood should green light this
it's the worst of the franchise.
absolute Marvel slop with shit choreography and moronic reddit characters
You thought it was just as good as John Wick 1 and it gave you a renewed appreciation for the series
cant help but thinking if there was only one competent shooter John Wick would be dead before the first movie ended. Seriously in movie 4 I took the time to look at what all the enemies were doing and they were constantly shuffling around doing anything but pointing the shooting iron at the mr wick.
yeah the john wick movies are stoopid
People will rightfully shit on fight choreography in The Dark Knight Rises and then call John Wick 4 the best action movie ever made.
After part 1. Wick just runs out in the open. Good thing every killer doesn't cover or rifles. Just 1 rifle guy and hes dead but nope they all run at him.
First 20 minutes of 3 > All of 4 > All of 2 > All of 1 > The rest of 3
I think they dropped the ball. Keanu is actually getting to be too old for this shit, and he's not anywhere close to killing the High Table. I don't know why they insist on giving John Wick a happy ending. Just let him kill everyone.
Ipman got too much focus. Random black man got too much focus. John Wick kicked the least amount of ass in this movie. John Wick 5 needs more Keanu doing things and less random black man doing things.

Dare I say it there was too much fighting and it got a bit boring at times.
You didn't like all those times that John killed 2 moronic mooks and then 2 more morons walk in to start another fight?
Yes, it was quite repetitive
The start was way too boring, not.much action or story really.
That's fair but when the fighting starts I feel it's just fight after fight, not enough spectacular high moments
Fun first movie ballooned into a forced "franchise".
This one being nearly 3 hours is the funniest part.
Modern Hollywood is really doomed.
>The Italian brother, the troony from Parabellum, and the French twink in this movie are all high-ranking Table members
>They never show off any skills and are pitiful when actually confronted by a threat
At least in the first movie, the Russian bad guy actually faced off against Keanu at the end. Scott Adkins should have been the main villain in this.
If every second of this movie didn't make you angry you should cease watching movies
I'm sorry, I'll stop watching them.
almost 3 hours of dogshit action. Incredible how there is only one good action sequence. People said 3 was bad, but that had many great set pieces and a decent villain.

Who the FRICK asked for this to be nearly 3 hours long. Peak goyslop
JOHN 4 WICK
who's wick
Series suck, a sequence of tedious scenes where bad guys appear one by one out of every corner just for main guy to shoot them.
#4 sucked. Major letdown. They tried to give John an ending like Shane. It failed soooo hard.
No side character has compared to the Sommelier from chapter 2
John Wick gets to Heaven but St Peter sends him back to kill pedos and human traffickers.
I thought it was okay. Felt they were trying too hard at times to fulfil a formula.
Shit action, no story, crap camerawork
