I believe she had actually been behind the whole business of having the coin press stolen as some sort of power play, which makes her culpable for his brother's death and thus bang bang. He made sure to step off the grounds though.
It's fine. Doesn't really feel that much like John Wick though, despite taking place in the same universe. There will be one character that annoys you.
>looks good, nothing even remotely pozzed at all >black girl character shows up, mentions sexism, kills le evil white man with her israelite sidekick and boyfriend to le own him
The funny part is karate black girl and her karate brother (not boyfriend) fight the male twin from
It's from the TV show
in the last episode two on one....and they fricking lose, he straight up beats them both two on one, has them dead to rights and they have to be saved by a deus ex machina popping up or they would have died. Actually both the twins fight scenes had the heroes just lose and have to resort to cheating to win, kind of bullshit.

I found karate black girl to be way out of line with the John Wick series as a whole, because generally when they had women show up, they did not engage in the Hollywood woman beats up 10 men at once thing. Ruby Rose in JW2 once her fight with Wick gets close quarters, she winds up just getting tossed around and loses quickly, same with Perkins in the first film, she puts up a fight but inevitably gets overpowered. Halle Berry in 3 was all guns and quick shots, not brawling with guys. In general Wick goes for "small person vs big person, better have a gun or you're losing". The two shinobi in 3 vs Wick are younger and faster (and give him chances to get up and keep fighting), but ultimately his much greater size lets him throw them around and overpower them. Any scene of Wick close quarters vs the big guy assassins is a lengthy struggle for him having to use as many weapons as he can improv.
Yet there is karate black girl doing the standard beat up five guys at once, not even Wick does that, he divides groups of goons up and picks them off. I don't know if it was some kind of attempt to have a more 70s type of action with martial arts but it was weird.
This sequence was fricking hilarious. I didn't even care that it just threw any (already tenuous) sense of realism out the window, they wanted a laugh and they got it.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed JW4 a lot, but holy shit the action scenes dragged on FOREVER >john walks into a room >kills some dudes >more goons run up to him >he kills them >one of them gets up >he beats him again >walks five meters >two guys run up to him again >literally like 5 minutes of this keeps happening
I know for sure that they reused extras in at least one scen, I think it was the warehouse fight before the dragon breath scene.
The only one that really dragged was the roundabout scene with everyone being hit by cars, that went on for a long time and since it wasn't really all that convincing effects wise it wasn't engaging. I didn't mind the stairs one mainly because it had an intentional gag of him finally making it to the top and getting booted ALL the way back down to the bottom (yes of course he would be turned to dust doing that but I think realism went out the window somewhere in the third one so whatever). And they did add in Donnie Yen for the second climb.
Actually I think the shootout at the Japanese Continental went on a little long, it had shootouts and brawls then his first skirmish with Yen, and that would have been fine, but then the shootouts started up again right after and we'd already seen a shootout in that room so that was weird.
This is like the only time he speaks more than a word or two at a time and it caught me off guard rewatching the first movie again after seeing the sequels for a few years now. In the later movies he just one liners and gruffs every now and then and that’s probably my only complaint.
This scene made it abundantly clear it was not "just a dog" so I never got why there was so much memeing that he goes on these multi movie rampage because of a dog.
watched 4th movie yesterday
easily the best movie, they've finally found the formula, they had to force style at the expense of reality, works much better than middle ground
the fact that the blind guy is a super contract killer and there isn't a single joke about that in the movie that isn't played straight would have been incredibly cringe, but they make it work with style
I think this is what tarantino wants to be, but is physically incapable of being
some gun scenes were shit and tired though, but the roundabout scene was fresh
I think Yen is also able to just sell that he can inexplicably fight while blind with just minimal tapping around a little. Don't even bother explaining it, he just can.
in his fight scenes he clearly knows where enemy is swinging somehow
if the movie eased on its straight face just for a little bit, those fight scenes would immediately turn into cringe, but they play it straight, so it holds
I think also if there was an actual clearly articulated moral of the movie, it would also turn into cringe, but it's just wick trying not to die the entire movie, so there's no specific accent on anything other than style and gunplay
also, with all the cheesiness they somehow managed not to make john wick 4 feel like a low brow movie, like fast&furious etc.
I think it's because they explicitly tell you with those club and roundabout fight scenes that some people are just background now, while in the previous movies people did actually GTFO once the shots started firing. Other action movies also generally show bystanders exhibit normal reactions and show all those airbags firing in crashes, but it turns out it's easier to just ignore the people instead of having to think that nobody magically got hurt.
I think it's also due to keanu reeves, just like in OP post he does seem a bit autism, which works well in all his serious movies
There's almost a suggestion that the "business" of the underworld seems to take place on some other level beneath the notice of most of the regular civilians unless they get directly interacted with, which they almost never do.
right, it's like harry potter magic and normal world, but not spelled out
it works super well, because it keeps focus on main characters and fights and I don't have to care about anyone else, while the locations don't feel deserted and weird
very good balance for this kind of movie

I think the background characters not reacting is actually a critical piece that makes you feel like you're watching a very expensive *theater play* rather than a movie
this way you KNOW all the "power of friendship" bits and the entire dialogue is not happening "for real", movie isn't not trying to teach you any life lessons, thus you can relax and enjoy the show
I liked chungus wick in all 4 movies, 1 was undeniably the best
I can deny that because 4 is equally as good as one.
>I warned you about stairs bro
true
it absolutely is not
It sure is.
anything past 1 is moronic crap aside from the kino fight choreography and car chases, which make all of them worth watching.
I like 2 too, specially the Vivaldi section.
Haven't watched 4 but
>Best set pieces
2
>Best choreography
1
Three sucked because they fell up their own ass with the moronic lore.
>yeah....
>winston
>I need a gun
>maybe
>maybe not
>......yeah

Kek. Even tho I hate black people anon, I thought you should know that. That I hate black people
That was assumed yesterday, today, and tomorrow
Friend
Best Wick Girl?
not that ugly asiatic that's for sure
Best Wick Disembodied Mouth?
definitely that nigress that's for sure
Ew no black women are already disgusting. And that nose ring makes it even worse
roiling?
Tear that racist gravestone down!
I'll bet that'll make Lovecraft roil even harder.
I'm counting it

I was confused as to why he killed her.
Katie is contractually obligated to die in 80% of her projects
I believe she had actually been behind the whole business of having the coin press stolen as some sort of power play, which makes her culpable for his brother's death and thus bang bang. He made sure to step off the grounds though.
Just imagine
Sad to waste her on a stupid TV show and not one of the movies. Same for Katie
>that pubic mound
Crikey
is it worth watching?
It's not great, but I can think of worse ways to spend 4 hours.
It's fine. Doesn't really feel that much like John Wick though, despite taking place in the same universe. There will be one character that annoys you.
Bendy Malina Weissman?
no, Marina
>i'll try spinning thats a good trick
Wait, when was this scene?
It's from the TV show
me cleverly disguised as a couch
is this mirrored or what? how do they do that?
>is this mirrored or what? how do they do that?
It's called flexibility, anon.
She's a contortionist
Contortionists have the power.
>looks good, nothing even remotely pozzed at all
>black girl character shows up, mentions sexism, kills le evil white man with her israelite sidekick and boyfriend to le own him
I'm done with any new Western media. This is it.

name of the show
The Continental
>Best Wick Girl?
Accounts girl
she legitimately looks like a bugman crossdressing.
This movie could have been good if they hadn't made it so intentionally stupid and OTT.
>Your son beat me up and killed my dog, give him to me so I can kill him.
Yeah, totally reasonable request. Fricking moronic movie.
A U ETA SUKA NYET
HUUUUUUuuuuuuuHUH!? You speak Bad Russian too!?
This sequence was fricking hilarious. I didn't even care that it just threw any (already tenuous) sense of realism out the window, they wanted a laugh and they got it.

Also I can't believe Yen is 60, he still moves ridiculously smoothly.
That was fricking moronic.
No it was fricking hilarious.
I told you about them stairs bro
These movies are good and fun.
This is like the only time he speaks more than a word or two at a time and it caught me off guard rewatching the first movie again after seeing the sequels for a few years now. In the later movies he just one liners and gruffs every now and then and that’s probably my only complaint.

It was a kino scene, ngl.
I don't remember John Wick 2 or 3. 1 and 4 were good though.
I thought it was a good line showing that he was so angry he wasn't speaking correctly. I wonder if it wasn't scripted and they just kept it in.
The rant was good, actually sold his entire rampage and what they really took from him
