John Wick 4 and 5 - "Keanu's Gun-fu Show" meets "Fast and Furious"

Ita Mori said:
Yeah, this particular franchise is dead.
I would not be surprised if they pull an Expendables 3 and edit the movie into a PG-13 and start abusing CGI.
I watched all 3 on opening night. I'm not watching 4 & 5 until they hit TV.


I'm exactly the opposite. I hated seeing such a good film like DW devolve into what it did.
Then Robocop went and did the same thing.

If Keanu has any pride in his work on JW, he should leave it be and let the studio find a replacement.
It's not like he needs money anyway, those Matrix checks reach really far.

Again, instead of milking one franchise, why not use that franchise to start a genre survival?
There has to be someone who's not a tard today and can make movies in the vein of John Woo or John McTiernan.

With you there. Saw all three opening night and they got worse and worse. The first one was the best, the second one was taking things into "ehhhhhh" territory and goddamn the third one was just plain bad except for a couple of the fights. I think Keanu just does these because they're fun to make, they stopped actually being good movies after the first two, not that I would call the second one good. It's been seven years now since the first one and I doubt the interest will be that great for either television show because at this point, neither are doing anything new or exciting.

I still enjoyed JW3 on the whole, but the law of deminishing returns definitely started to apply. I really liked the hyper-reality they created in the first two films, where law enforcement was almost absent and civilians were like NPCs, but in 3 it felt like that was going too far. Can't see it improving for 4 or 5 either.

In JW3 I learned that 15% of New York City is comprised of hitmen and contract killers.

Not to say I didn't like it, but it was pretty funny watching everyone's cell phone light up with the contract on him.

I've liked all three John Wick movies but was hoping the 3rd would wrap things up. I kind of miss trilogies of movies, now everything has to be 7+ movies long and have spin-offs. I think the Hangover series was the last big trilogy with no spin-offs or anything, which is sad because that shouldn't have been a trilogy in the first place.

Really not sure this series has the steam for two more movies, just feels like overkill for a series where the story really isn't the big selling point.

I wish there was an incel rating for this, like why the hell do you care they have a kid together?

Adjudicator was an attractive white woman trying to make herself look less attractive by buzzing her hair. If she identified as a piece of burnt toast she'd still be attractive and white.

My problem with Wick is how boring it is. It was cool at first to see an action hero doing lots of judo and jujitsu, but it's just the same moves over and over, usually culminating with boring gunfights with cg blood. There's rarely anything memorable, and the last scene in 3 where he fights the two midgets then the other midget just went on forever with nothing visually interesting happening. Plus it's ridiculous that all these movies take place right after another and he's able to fight despite being shot, stabbed, and beaten multiple times. He also fell of a high-rise hotel.

3 had some interesting fights in the beginning (the library and weapons gallery come to mind) which is why I liked it better than 2, which was much more generic run'n'gun. That said, the internal logic of the world has really started to break down, Terminator-style, because they need to keep coming up with bullshit to force new conflicts and keep the plot moving. The High Table was basically the stupidest plot device they could introduce because it undercuts the chaotic feel of the setting.

This right here. 3 is the worst because it tried to develop the Worldbuilding in the wrong way. One of the reason people loved the original movie was because of the subtle worldbuilding of the assassin and criminals world. Two managed to develop it further, and I think did a pretty good job, personally speaking. But the Third is just....I don't know how to explain it clearly, but to put it simply, it's way too ambitious. It has no focus, subtlety, and charm like the previous two have

Wow, that arrow to the face seems rather practical, especially when you're surrounded :D

Responding to the post above, ehh, so what? This is for fun. If anyone actually takes this more serious than is needed, only God knows why you're watching. Seeing Keanu go "Yeah" like that for the fourth movie in a row is sign, at least to me, that they're self-aware about what they're doing. John Wick 1 is cool, after that, just disregard them and you'll be fine.
