I think once again this one has mostly obsoleted all the previous one for me. but this one has something the others donât, wick inspiring other people in this brutal world to be more than just good workers with his chivalrous bloodshed actions. the warriors radio station in paris is called Station WUXIA

This is to the warriors what road to hell was to streets of fire
I have to admit for a brief second road to hell being mentioned made me think you were saying john wick 4 was awful. I canât wait for him to beat the shit out of the baseball furies

Road to hell rules, one of the best examples of direct to dvd termite art of the 00s made by a guy who clearly had directed 49 prior movies to bring his crayon fanfiction to life and the part of this felt like that except poised to make literally thousands of times the budget back.
thatâs a much better story behind that movie than the truth

extremely mid. Everyone in our theater kept getting up to pee during the agonizingly long exposition scenes and coming back before they were over. I liked a bunch of it even but lol! I did love to see how much everyone loved donnie yen cuz heâs the best part of the movie!! Also they didnât really need to put scott adkins in a fat suit. They should be honest and just say itâs cuz they wanted to have John Wick fight the kingpin. At least we got more cute dogs ripping peoples nuts off. Also there wasnât enough of rina sawayama killing people with a bow.

The little quips and nonsense faux-deep aphorisms in this 4th one were pretty rough and lent the movie a really slow start, plus I had a hard time remembering who anybody was. But the action scenes were fantastic as usual. I like that âperson who fights with dogâ is a recurring character class in these movies.
As everyone mentioned, the Hotline Miami scene was great. That firecracker shotgun is a video game weapon Iâll think about a lot. I also liked the frogger car dodging scene, you could really feel those cars whizzing by. And the staircase fight! Climbing the whole painful way up, then rolling all the way back down (huge laughter in the theater), and then having to fight all the way back to the top with the power of friendship. Itâs the closest the movie comes to classic wuxia imo.
Weird ending. John Wickâs death came completely out of the blue for me. After the big climactic dual, he just sits down on the stairs to catch his breath and think about his wife. Iâm zoning out a little, like, âoh ok time for emotional wife stuffâ and then I clock back in and heâs DEAD! After all the manâs been through, he just slowly bled out from a gutshot on the stairs. Felt pretty anticlimactic, though I understand the emotional arc they were going for. I also note that they left it very, very easy to retcon if they want to bring Keanu back and just say he faked his death to get out of the game.

i found out the original cut was 3 hours and 45 minutesâŚwhat the fuck did you guys cut? More scenes of Winston walking past every painting in the louvre?
the emotional arc of the movie is decent enough that id like to see like a flat 2 hour version of it
the first time he fell down the stairs I laughed the third time he fell down the stairs I accidentally yelled HOW LONG DOES THIS MOVIE HAVE TO BE
the dragons breath bullets are such a AS SEEN ON YOUTUBE type deal I couldnât get over it, like might as well have nilered mixing you potions

im still thinking about the dog!!! im gonna pretend the dogs actions were inspired by shadow dancer
ALSO ALSO ihope it makes belgian malinois popular instead of german shepherds since malinoisâs hips are way better
I thought of Farley in Black Sheep when he was falling down the stairs and burst out laughing, couldnât help it

Kinda feeling the diminishing returns on this one.
The power leveling increase of âhow are they gonna top the bulletproof guys from the end of 3â answered with âvery tall European guys in grey suits, but also the same bulletproof guys for a minute, but with Tengu masks.â
Like everyone else, I did cackle at the stair scene, and the Hotline Miami bit whipped.
Donnie Yen was great, though!
(Also rewatched 3 for the first time in a while before seeing 4 today, and forgot just how good and hammy Mark Dacascos was in that.)
Most fucked up thing about the movie thatâs not really about the movie: someone in my theater took a little kid to see it? They showed a trailer for some Russell Crowe Exorcism movie and you could audibly hear the kid say âWHAT THAT MEANâ when the title card popped up. Didnât hear a peep from the kid otherwise until (JWC4 spoiler) the dog pissed in the guyâs bullet headwound at the end and the kid cackled.
Maybe itâs a sign Iâm getting old but, damn! Kind of a violent movie to take a kid to!
