John Wick 4

[Trice]

Who saw it? What did you think? Hide your spoilers.

I'm no movie critic, but I thought it was great. I didn't get into John Wick until the late 2010s, around the time of the third movie, and I've loved them ever since. They're just great movies for turning off your brain and having a good time watching Keanu wreck people.

This was a long movie but didn't feel like it. And the action scenes in Paris were great.

Spoiler

What an amazing coincidence that Lance Reddick's character dies in this movie, and then he died in real life right before it premiers. Speaking of deaths, zero chance John Wick actually died in this movie, right?

Long but full of action. Me of the best pure action movies ever made. Note I said pure action. Nonstop top to bottom action and closed several story lines along the way.

Saw it last night, really liked it. Wasn't sure why Keanu made every word coming out of his mouth so foreign and forced, like it was in a different language. Maybe it was intentional and I missed it.

Did anyone get hurt in this movie?

Also, for those who haven't seen it yet: stay through the credits.

I love the John Wick movies and have to put in a plug for The Raid and The Raid 2. If you haven't watched them do yourself a favor and watch them this week. The choreography of the fight scenes is even better than the John Wick movies.

Loved it.

I will check those out sometime, somehow slipped by me but trailers look crazy.

Kind of reminds me of the original 2003 (can't believe it's 20 years old) Korean version of Oldboy action scenes. I think they could re-release Oldboy and it'd be more popular now than it was then with all the hype around Korean movies/series. It has a lot of the same sensibilities as something like Squid Game but with even better action scenes. John Wick series itself reminds me a lot of Oldboy, for all I know they've said it's an inspiration.

I get people may not love the entire movie itself (another very long movie) but the action scenes in The Batman went under-appreciated by many just shrugging it off like another superhero movie. Didn't help that the theaters were just barely re-opening.

I saw it. It was okay I guess. To me, action movies are kind of redundant.

 

[inCyteful]

Saw it, loved it.

Would be interesting watching it juxtaposed against a WVU MBB game.

The scene shot overhead was pretty good, and the scene at the arch. Another great action movie.

The Raid 2 just about melted my brain.

yep, I thought that was the best part. What was that gun they were using that was so explosive on impact?

I didn't realize until the end that the actor with the beard and the hat was the head prison cop in Shawshank.

It was a shotgun but they loaded it with dragons breath shells. No idea if that’s a real thing, but it made for some pretty cool visuals.

I need to see 3 before I watch this one. Hopefully this week

I loved it. Pure action with an actual story line. Be curious how the spin off more movies. Have some ideas that pertain the after credits scene.

They have prequels already in production with the amazing Ana De Armas. Her small action scene in the latest Bond movie says her sex appeal can also kick ass.

Just saw it. That scene at the Arc de Triomphe was epic

I straight up giggled every time John shot one of those. Besides the video game angle (almost reminding me of dungeon crawling in Diablo), best part of that fight.

Honestly, I was really happy with the post-credit scene. All throughout the credits I was asking myself "what about "that" loose end?" and while it didn't tie it up, it at least addressed it instead of leaving it hanging.
