You never mentioned the fact that he never overshoots his guns. If the gun he uses holds 12 bullets in a mag, he only fires 12 bullets before reloading. If that same gun is fired 3 times by an enemy before he dies, John Wick only fires 9 rounds before he drops the gun.

The directors Stahelski and Leitch both are martial artists, stuntmen, and fans of action Hong Kong cinema style - that features long camera takes and choreography, with less cuts/edits, to showcase the action, fight sequences, and skills of the actors and stuntmen. The action in HK cinema is PART of the storytelling and character development - whereas action in the West is limited by the action storytelling, inexperienced actors, and a stilted directing and choreography shooting methodology. For a quick TV comparison, watch AMC's "Into The Badlands" vs Netflix's "Iron Fist".

The thing that made me fall in love with John Wick is the subtle world-building. You think it's our world when the movie starts, but it turns out it's a seedy underworld that reminds me of my favorite graphic novels. Little things, like paying with gold coins, or the rules of the hotel, hint at a much larger, richer universe, which the sequels build on. I was intrigued from the start, and the very grounded approach to action makes the more grandiose aspects of the world believable. It's such a well-made world, I'm always hungry for more.

It's a straight action movie which knows its identity like in the eighties. There's no shoehorned love story except you know. There's no funny sidekick saying a dumb line to break the suspense.

But Logan has an incredibly more deep and better story than John Wick, it's not just ACTION right in your face. I personally don't really like justo action movies like John wick.

I'm not against it, it's just a personal taste. John wick has a very little story just to make context of the action.

2 more ppl alive after fighting john wick.

[@Sizdothyx]

Because the Director emphasizes selling the camerawork and stunts. There's no cut, no shift mid-action, more often than not. Even during an interview when prompted about the plague on shaky-cam and jump-cuts, his reply was: "No."

[@niarose6435]

First reason: Keanu Reeves is hot as hell!

[@RobGcraft]

He’s looking good at 55, so I agree. He does look hot as hell

[@sergiovicente6868]

One of the top reasons why I absolutely love this franshise is because of how 'eye candy' it is. Everything is beautiful, the color pallets used, the sceneries. Most of the movie if you pause it looks like a wallpaper. So good.

[@MasterCipher123]

I feel there's a double meaning in your video title. You talk about why the movie is so good, allow me to speak on why the character is so good. Actually, here's a quote from one of Terry Prachett's books, that says quite a bit about the character of John Wick. "If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word." When John Wick speaks, it's hardly for the sake of being witty or clever. Every sentence he speaks has purpose, much like every bullet he fires, and every punch he throws. Like you said, John Wick takes no pleasure in what he does, so he does it quickly and efficiently to insure that he doesn't have to do it again. That's what makes John Wick so good.

This was a good comment

[@jakethet3206]

Dude, Cassian was stabbed in THE CHEST, into or near HIS HEART. IF he is alive, he is NEVER fighting again. Never working protection again. He’s either retired, or working in insurance. After how hard these guys have worked to make John feel like a real dude, I would have been kinda upset if Cassian was back for Parabellum. Think about it... John let him live, right? Why would he do that? John doesn’t let threats live. John knows where he’s stuck that blade, so John knows that Cassian is over, even if he survives.

[@pnutz_2]

keanu said in the film it was either the heart of the aorta, so if he moved (the train accelerating might be a problem) it'll tear open and he'll die

[@PersianMapper]

I'll have you know that John wick isn't a "dude". You're a dude. John wick is a Man.

[@9292098]

@@pnutz_2 John said that the blade is in Cassian's aorta, and acting as a plug, so if Cassian pulls out the knife, he will bleed excessively. Train acceleration might be an issue, but well I guess that's part of the suspension of disbelief.

[@thetown5350]

@@PersianMapper Ok Drax.

[@jomontanee]

John gives Cassian the option to live or die. And as the high rank killer of the High Table council someone will help Cassian right after John was gone. So yes John spared his life. And if Common agrees to come back we shall see him fight for the high table against JW team.

That one shot in the underground tunnels in the Chapter 2 was the most incredible piece of cinema i have ever seen

[@wilsonram39]

I mean are you referring to the scene where Common and Keanu are discretely shooting at each other? Because their whole fight scene is pretty great, but I'd pick other specific "shots" for the best frames in the movie?

[@omitn2011]

wilsonram39 I'm not talking about when he was fighting Common, but when he had to escape away. It was when he was in the underground tunnels with the flurry of bodyguards attacking him & he had his guns placed strategically throughout

[@yepisuredolikecats3979]

VERY well said! and on a more serious note with the dogs, the concept of this all starting from the death of a dog (and wife by sentimental extension) is a GOLDEN prompt. very unique concept especially for action movies that puts an almost humorous light in the series (“all this for a dog??”)

[@danielmaddox5686]

Dude, your editing is legendary!

[@technicalleon]

Great video! I love the John Wick movies, they're such unique action movies. I'm looking forward to watching the 3rd one. And thank you for pointing out the shaky cams, as someone who gets nauseous when I see shaky cams, I really hate seeing them in movies, more so because I can't appreciate the details in these fight scenes.

[@SuperHeliboy]

Shaky cameras hopefully are on the way out. Good riddance. They were only successful in the first couple of Bourne movies.
