John Wick: Chapter 4 - Movie Review

[@IIJonnyBoyII]

I won’t spoiled much, but the one action scene that’s filmed from a top down perspective is one of the best action scenes I’ve seen in years.

[@meroque23]

top down perspective is almost like playing a live action video game

RIP Lance Reddick for being in the most incredible series in history of action trilogies around. So sad you’re gone at the age of 60 but however we’ll be watching this film to tribute. Take care, Lance, you shall be missed. John Wick is becoming the best anti-hero action hero in the series. Great review, Chris.

Gosh, that just brought tears to my eyes because John Wick is the type of movie me and my dad really bonded over. Miss him extra when I see movies I know he would've enjoyed.

@Xiamera Clarke I know what you mean, I find myself saying, "My dad would've loved this," when I check out a new movie or show. It literally happened the other day when I was watching The Last Of Us. I like to think there's an afterlife, and it's your ideal paradise with whatever you want, so I like to think my dad sees movies and shows early. Might sound silly, but it's a nice thought in my mind.

[@NTWoo95]

It’s the fact that every single film since the first one has been John trying to get his freedom. If John Wick 5 was just him at a beach resort, not killing anybody, it’d honestly be very therapeutic

[@firstlast9846]

I think a happy ending wouldn’t fit the overall narrative - he’s a guy who’s been trying to get out yet gets dragged deeper with each movie… it’d be more fitting if he dies at the end of this series.

[@baishihua]

In a way because he is an assassin, the film makers think that it may not be appropriate to have good karma following him?

[@IzunaSlap]

I'd rather him have a bittersweet ending. He has too much blood on his hands to ever be happy, but I don't want a No Time To Die ending for him either. Maybe some kind of exile would be appropriate.

SPOILERS ALERT People liking it have low expectations because a lot of this movie is ridiculously bad. - How many times he gets run over by a car (about five times)? - how many times enemies have the opportunity to shoot his head but somehow they just miss. - he jumped out of a building, lands on a car, then ground, and just walks off before everything that happens on the stairs. - he falls several times from the stairs at the end and is not bothered. - Caine stabs his hand and he's fine. - he dies and no one's sad for him. He doesn't even bother going to the hospital. Marquis is dead so why didn't Caine help him? - Caine: you'd wonder why they had to make him blind? His gestures and fights would have been more credible had he been able to see. His fights were good but no way he makes it alive the whole movie blind. Especially fighting armed men. - the post-credit scene is super predictable. You would wonder where Akira was the whole second half of the movie. Would have been better had she helped John fight off the enemies at the end. - the tracker has zero charisma. He doesn't look like he's threatening. He's just a dog person with a sniper gun. - super cliché bad guy character: European looking and super soft/insecure type. As usual in these types of movies. - it makes zero sense to shoot scenes in Paris in the middle of crowds but not interfere with them. Ex: fights and chasing at the Arc de Triomphe: a huge and busy roundabout where no one stops their cars. It's about 5 AM and there's no crowd gathering around them, no police in sight. It's Paris! - also John escaping with a bike only to leave that bike before reaching Montmartre... Anyone who's been to Paris wonders why he did that. Clearly he could have continued. There was barely people chasing him at that point. For better action movies, refer to the Raid movies (better fights), or the Equalizer (better actors, less drag) or even the Bourne trilogy (better scripts).

John Wick 5: In Space

[@anthonyzullo]

those were the vibes I got with the first movie when we see him casually and not in kill mode. Like, if the story of John meeting his wife, I see that guy being Spike.

[@sanghoonlee5171]

[SPOILER] Watched it last night with a girl who also loves John Wick series, and we were both a little disappointed. It was 3 hours of nonstop combat with very little ups or downs in pitch, just a constant stream of drawn-out battles like a pipe organ stuck at a high note. Every major fight was 20 minutes long, and they all took place in very public places without attracting police or even disturbing passers-by. There were too many nonsensical plot elements like blowing up the NY Continental in broad daylight (why would an underworld organization want to call that much attention to itself?) and 4 poker players all drawing insanely good hands at their first try. It just felt really, really weird. This movie needed to be half an hour shorter, and some of the fights should have been quick bursts of violence, not an all-out battle.

[@lazzi2462]

When part 3 came out, I was expecting that to be the last of these films & expecting John Wick to die in that one, because I felt like if they went on, the series will just get repetitive. But after hearing so many great reviews on Chapter 4, I can't wait to see it!

[@danielgeronimo5538]

All four movies feel like an entire arc masterfully done to its completion. It really reminded me of some of the best directed anime series that came out in the 90s and in a certain way it ends like so, if you know you know. There are some weak moments, and it all wasn't perfect but, I respect it when a film series has the balls to tie up a storyline and creatively continue the franchise in new and exciting ways.

These movies are done with so much love and passion. That's what makes them different. They don't get lazy (ejem, Taken) and They walk on that knive's edge of going for the escalation and larger and larger over the top set pieces without getting absolutely ridiculous (ejem, fast and furious). All while crafting a simple but powerful story. Truly a work of passion that doesn't know what "diminishing returns" mean. Love it.

John Wick was always my favorite. It told the story of who this person was and what his life was at the moment and the other films just filled in the colors of the story. John Wick 4 was moving. You felt his emotions. You understood who this man was and why he did what he did. The ring retrieval scenes were left open ended. This tells me there are more stories to tell.

[@tomekbednarek2672]

I am stunned that there is no single word of critique. I found it a punishment to sit through this at the cinema. I like action movies, I loved the Raid, Dredd etc. But this? People switching sides multiple times, Wick jumps from point A to B to C... The scene on the roundabout in Paris? Bulletproof suits to justify the script's need for action... Wick jumping out of a third floor for no reason, not getting a scratch... People dancing around guys smashing axes into heads... No stake, no purpose, no sense... I have the impression that Keanu Reeves' presence is somehow skewing the reception of this movie. For me it was like a big-budget Steven Segal flick, which is kind of not a positive rating.

[@adamioppolo1884]

I think it's meant to be a live action video game basically. Hence no police in any country or city they go to as well

Agree big time, how can people find this a good movie? Unlike the other three movies, there was no story, the action scenes where mediocre or there was no logic. I really don’t understand reviewers nowadays, how they view things some time, but yea big disappointment

​@@vincenzoramsay2961 completely agree with you and OP. On top of that, this film feels completely disconnected to the third one.

[@v-trigger6137]

Other two movies barely even have any story. they just feel like a non stop action film that just sets up sequel after sequel. hence why I'm not really that fond of Chapter 3, that ending was so terrible in ky opinion. it was absurdly unrealistic and it was just there as an excuse to make chapter 4

[@michaal105]

Would you consider yourself to be a good person? Well then tell me: How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something (even when you were small. Even from your parents. Even a sweet), and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) - even ‘OMG’? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust? One more: Ever disrespected your parents? Well I’m not judging you - but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer, adulterer-at-heart and rebel, so you're not good enough to go to heaven; that’s how seriously God takes sin. God is holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that He is perfect in justice; that means that just like a just judge does sentence criminals to pay for the wrong they caused, God sentences the punishment of all sins. No good deeds you've done have removed your sins and you've done many. If a criminal is found guilty and says to the judge that they've changed since then, repented and done many good deeds is the judge going to let them go? No - because that doesn't erase their crimes. And if God were to judge you by the moral law would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? Because of your sins, the answer is hell - the wrath of God upon you for your sin. And that's why Jesus - the Son of God and the only one who lived a perfect life - came. Because on that cross as Jesus died, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in your place; receiving God’s wrath for sins so that you wouldn't have to. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us. On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead - conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. Now He's in heaven and one day will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent to God and trust alone in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross. Believe in Jesus - who's God incarnate. God has given no other name but the name of Jesus by which men must be saved.

"Movie is as long as it should be" is a great quote. I finally understood watching a lot of movies where so much is cut out and those scenes could have progressed the story so much and made people invested in a lot of the dead-end movies where you only find the story after the DVD or DL of the extra scenes can be viewed. They should understand that no movie should be shorter just because and I also think about movies that are longer than necessary because they want to add stuff that does not matter in the least and those scenes would work well in extras. I also think a lot of directors and producers need to understand the difference between something that would work better as a series than a movie. that way if it does take longer to get to the pay off. At least then you can add extras to keep people entertained, even if some of wont matter in the end and is filler. A lot of content today have these problems. At least with john wick, we knew what we expected and got the stuff that more than likely elsewhere the story would be nonexistent, and you would have to wait for the full version dvd to understand any of what happened beside. council demands pew pew.

Little known fact, a low budget independent movie called One Long Day was out before John Wick (the first one) with the same exact storyline...in a case of mistaken identity a man's dog is killed and he takes his revenge on the mob, the similarities are too close to be coincidence but One Long Day is an action comedy, where with John Wick is a serious action movie with big budget effects. Heck, John Wick even drives the same car as the guy in One Long Day... However, that hasn't stopped me from liking the John Wick movies...thanks for the review
