There wasn't much left to tell after the first movie. It just turned ridiculous. I still watch the movies but they aren't good. They just show choreageaphy and dancing and special effects.
I mostly like Keanu Reeves for being such a nice human being in real life.
And once you start counting bad guys who move to within 5 feet of John Wick before trying to use their guns, the films kinda become comedies. But it’s still a fun ride.
Yeah I noticed that too. Silly fights but good for entertainment I guess.
And then for some reason Halle Berry is there, overacting and tossing around men twice her weight. Hard to keep dispelling belief.
Yeah that's one of my annoyances about modern movies - girls are just as strong as muscular guys twice their weight. Physics just cease to exist.
Smaller women can flip a big guy given they can get a good hold on em. I know because a 5'5 160 lbs women flipped my 6'1 280 ass. It was very funny. I wish someone recorded it
I kind of agree. I will still watch them all though because they're fucking sick lol
Yeah I watched them all a second time not long ago. But I got bored and spent some time on my phone while watching. :)
I really liked the fantasy criminal underground they created for the movies. I hoped to see way more of it as an actual story, but no…it was only used in small doses to move the action forward.
The first movie introduced us to the whole idea and that was fun, but the rest IMO kinda gets to be a slog of violence after a while.
In case you missed it, they did do a TV show within the world that expanded on the origins of some of the characters in the movies. It was pretty good. Just as ridiculous but with different actors.
I too enjoyed the lore building in the movies and this was cool to see it from a different time period. B
I didn’t know that existed. Thank you!
E: dammit, $ to view it. Arrr!
Nice, hope you enjoy it. Sail safely my friend!
