John wick 4 was kinda whack (spoilers in thread)

First off, way too long

The action sequences just looked lazy alot of the time. I know Keanu is old but it shows in alot of the fighting if you pay attention.

Nearly 3 hours of him wrist tossing and shooting ppl idk, I didn't feel like alot of the fighting wasnt very original, except for a few parts. He tried to do alot of cool takedown stuff, but he's so slow moving it just came off as awkward alot

The dragon breath shotgun scene absolutely stole the show, it was really awesome. Best action sequence for sure.

Donnie yens character was kind of dumb, he made the fights look good most of the time but lol at the blind dude shooting people

Black dude Mr. Nobody didn't really make much sense either, I guess he was just trying to get the bounty price raised by sabotaging the other assassins. His dog scenes didn't even remotely compare to Halle berry in the previous film, I actually thought he was supposed to be her brother or some chit. Felt like they just lacked originality there.


Idk still entertaining, glad I watched at home, 3 hours in a theater for that, no thanks.

Loved seeing Scott Adkins in the fat suit lmao he was great

I think you can only beat a movie sequel too death so many times . I loved the Matrix , as it was such a ground breaking concept and a different story line for once , but after the first one the sequels were muh.

Does no one get suspicious of all the dead bodies in the street?

Why has the government not shut down and jailed the whole organisation?

So many questions...

Lmao, alot of this also.

Like they are just murdering dozens of people in pretty famous places.

Idk the first John wick had the perfect type of grounded combat, like it was a little far fetched, but mostly something you could believe a well trained man could do.

By John wick 4, it's basically a comic book universe. I think John wick got shot at least 75+ times in his bulletproof suit in this last movie, they really beat the bulletproof suit thing to death in this one, by the end of it he's just tanking bullets.

I feel like if they needed to fill the black dude role they should have brought back commons character to play almost the exact same role, start out as trying to kill wick, then eventually side with him. Common coming back to get his revenge would have been much cooler imo.

Mr. Nobody felt shoehorned in, then they stuck a dog with him because of course everyone loves a doggo. Especially a tactical doggo. Except Halle berry already did that, and her scenes were totally ****in awesome and way better, and there was 3 dogs.. I did like his short little repeater rifle scene but meh.

I only saw the first two. And while the first one was somewhat fun and entertaining at the time, there was never really a need for a sequel. The second one already sucked balls, so I've never bothered.
