This is genuinely one of those franchises that I can give a ranking of the movies one day and then another day my bottom pick can move towards the top. That’s how much I love this series and it's genuinely a case where there is no truly poor entry. That’s the Baba Yaga for you

[@Grom-rl8bm]

John Wick is certainly one of the franchises

[@floresf8727]

First of all, this entire franchise is great. Each movie is better than the last. The over the top lore than grows with each movie is perfect.

Tony you should do reaction videos to movies that maybe a bit popular but you may have not of seen. I think that’s a good idea.

Hot tip, The Hong Kong Massacre is on sale for $1.99 in the Playstation store. Glad I checked because I almost bought it for $20 on steam.

[@LonkinPork]

I think what really makes the series work as it goes on, is that it feels a bit like a 00's comic adaptation, but for a comic series that doesn't exist. There's all these hints at a greater World and deeper Lore in the style of "easter eggs," but as each movie came out there was no established Canon for those things to refer to

[@matterstoyou2970]

Easy; 2 is the best but 3 has the best intro/opening.

[@boomzilla86]

No, 1 is by far the best.

Tony needs to seek out the "Australian cut" of John Wick 3. As far as I'm aware, the only difference in our version is that the camera pans away before that guy gets stabbed in the eye

[@JLEWIS18]

I love the John Wick Franchise!!

[@LonkinPork]

My dad has always been a big action/kung fu movie buff. Loves anything Hong Kong, anything with Jason Statham, if it's got dudes fighting dudes, he's in. When the fourth JW movie was about to hit theaters, I was talking to my dad about how excited I was for it, and was shocked to hear he hadn't seen any of them. So I bought him the first 3 on DVD for his birthday, and then I talked to him again a couple weeks after that and he told me he watched all 3 of them, twice each in a span of about two weeks

[@God-k5b]

4 is the best cause he actually died without completing his insane goal. You would think John Wick would go on to take on the top dogs but he died showing peace for a character who had nothing left but vengeance. It’s a better point than by dragging on with the series.

[@tsartomato]

29:18 yes using "snipers" ehehehhehehe

[@BigGahmBoss]

My feelings on this series: 1 is the best 4 is the best sequel 2 is the weakest, but still really good I love these movies, and can't wait for Ballerina

jw2 spent a lot of time on nonsense but the story progression made sense and the second half was an awesome cartoon

[@kevindavis2890]

You have to see Fatman. Vile t Night is good as well and I think you'd enjoy it but I know you'd like Fatman.

[@kingkold]

GIL!!!!!! HOLEEE CRAP.

[@STTPMASFTNE]

I love the John Wick series, but the first will always be the best. The action and choreography gets better and better in the sequels (especially JW4), but the major missing piece is the emotional component from the first film. John being tied up and pissed off, explaining what they took from him and how he’s gonna make them pay towards the end of the first film is a great scene. The sequels ramp up his “cool” factor and make him too emotionless and unaffected by what’s going on, which kind of removes the tension. Again, whole series is great, but Keanu’s performance in the first film outshines the others.

[@tsartomato]

it gets more and more fake and artificial and super slowed down to accommodate elderly actors

[@chasethecolors]

I agree, somewhat. I think 2 showcases his emotional side as well, what with him losing it at the very end and breaking the rules because of how mad he is.

[@rupertludsbury2291]

[@0mniP0t3nt]

I'm steadfastly NOT a sequel guy. 9/10x's, I am usually deriding follow-up's, but JW2 is actually my favorite in the series, thus far. As you guys pointed out; it's THE film where a bunch of the lore is either introduced OR immensely expanded upon. JW is too simple, too staid; the sequel actually makes John Wick separate from every other anti-hero. Whether it's Frank Castle from The Punisher; Leon from Leon The Professional; John Crease from Man on Fire; and dozens more; JW2 showed the world why it deserves the attention it was getting. I hated the 3rd; and the 4th was completely forgettable

[@themidnighttavern6784]

I'm so mad the mechanic character never shows up beyond the 2nd movie. His character and the skills he offers was something worth exploring more. It's also insane how the mustang is basically the reason this all happens, and then basically ceases to exist in the later half of the franchise, never even brought up really.

Adjudicator = *uh·joo·duh·kay·tr*

[@jiijijjijiijiij]

Easy answer. Which one is the only one that has a memorable, engaging story arc? Number 1.

[@kingcaesar3693]

Nah they all have world building. It's just not beat over your head like other films today. 1 might set him on the journey, but they all have a good overall story.

[@jiijijjijiijiij]

@@kingcaesar3693 But world building is not the same thing as telling a story. You can easily do one and not the other, and the sequels are an example of that.I was actually going to make that my comment before rewriting it, that all the sequels ring hollow because everything is in service of world building rather than a good story. It's like watching the Star Wars prequels but with added long shootout scenes.

[@tsartomato]

@@kingcaesar3693 world building is when you throw darts at meaningless buzzwords which also never connect 3 is literally an anime filler episode

[@chasethecolors]

Nah, I think 2 has a terrific story arc, arguably even better than 1 (not sure of this but it’s definitely close at least), with more peaks and valleys, and crazier, cooler action. The pacing of that movie is immaculate. My ranking is 2,1,4,3. 3 is the one with the weakest story by far. It’s still a good movie, but story is pretty forgettable.

[@jiijijjijiijiij]

@@chasethecolors I suppose unless it's a situation where we can agree which criteria we should judge them by, it's impossible to settle on a meaningful answer, and then that becomes its own philosophical ranking list mess. All I'd say is that for me the sequels are less compelling as contained stories because it feels like every single plot progression is a kind of deus ex machina style situation dressed up as world building. The plot is less personal to the protagonist even though he's still at the center of the story. I just know that whatever situation he happens to be in, just around the corner there will be a reveal of some unforeseen rule that takes the plot where it needs to go, and only maybe once in a while it will be because a character has had a personal development or a change in motivation or something like that. In that way to me it honestly feels like playing a tabletop game more than it feels like watching a movie.

[@tsartomato]

keanu didn't go through a period he is the period. he tries so hard but he is not an actor the only films he is good at is where he plays a damaged person who barely can act human. jw1 mnemonic matrix constantine

[@ryanpowell2540]

I've never seen these movies, but they sound like they're not for me. The first one seems more grounded and genuine, but it quickly spirals into stupid territory with the sequels: secret society of assassins that everybody just happens to be a part of, bulletproof suits and whatnot.
