The entire 3rd act was an homage to The Warriors (Which I saw at Harkins theater Arvada last Tuesday night), it even had the lady DJ shot from only the nose down, and she even called the dudes chasing John Wick 'Boppers'. lol...I was expecting Joe Walsh's In The City to play over the end credits...CAN YOU DIG IT??
I appreciate that John Wick had a 'save the dog' redemption moment...
I’m not sure how future action movies can compete with John Wick 4’s action scenes. I was in awe for a couple hours and couldn’t believe the fight scenes I was seeing. They showed us things we haven’t seen before
Well the action scenes in chapter 3 were beyond ridiculous, silly and redundant.. it became a joke and hated the film in general. Enjoyed chapter 1-2 much more. Is 4 that much different than 3 ? That's the real question I have.
@@royfokerpoker1802
Chapter 4 has better pacing in general
The action set pieces are long but dynamic and less repetitive (whereas, in Chapter 3, some of the action sets were repetitive and that could lead to issues like you said)
The movie doesn't feel like 3 hours (I also went in very skeptical about that runtime, even as a huge fan of action movies and this franchise)
Yeah 4 was better, but make no mistake that we watch this series for the action. Action that works with good storytelling makes it that much better of a movie.
Saw it in IMAX and God damn it was a cinematic orgasm. An assault to my senses (in a really good way), the new additions to the cast were great, the cinematography was beautiful, the action scenes ridiculously good. After it was over I immediately booked another showing this time for Dolby at AMC. Also Rest In Peace Lance Reddick. I could say more but just watch it on the biggest screen possible.
Did you find it was too loud. I like loud movies but wow this was too loud.
@@WMCheerman Not really, what I found loud as hell in IMAX was fucking TENET.
EDIT: YES it's loud as fuck in Dolby
This movie deserves 1 billion
when kids movie like avengers avatar can make 2 billion i hope this makes a billion
The film's tributes and hat tips to action cinema - from The Warriors to Highlander to the films of Scott Adkins and more - was an immense joy to behold.
It hurts a little to know that general audiences won't quite grasp the love at work in this movie.
2 is still my favorite and nothing beats the simplicity of 1, but 4 is an amazing experience. My whole theater was super into it.
Chapter 2 is your favourite? 😳😳 Hellll nahhhh lol
2 ????!!!!!!
JW4 was so good, I can't wait to see it again!!! All 3 hours of it!
I jumped in my seats hearing that DJ in that Warriors homage. I clapped for that stunt guy who fell down all them steps.
“The sand in that glass is just a personification of my waning patience” best line in the movie to me.
This movie is definingly a contender for the Best Action movie category. I loved all the action scenes with the creativity. They did stuff we havent seen in the series before. With the battle that took place in the building in Paris on the final night. The camera movement from top down was a great addition and choice for the film. Reminded me of a video game and it was a nice interesting change. The idea behind the final fight to get up the stairs and the iconography behind climbing the stairs to get to the final dual. Well acted, well coordinated, and iconic. There was a well mix of action, dialogue, and lore mixed in. I want to see this movie again when I get the chance. If I can criticize anything about the film, very nit picky, Some of the close combat/hand to hand battle scenes I felt as if some of the assailants could have gotten a shot/blow into John while he was fighting 3 people at the same time. But such a minor complaint shouldnt take you away from seeing the movie 4 times.
It was Hotline Miami done for John Wick
I saw this movie yesterday with my father. It was damn near a cinematic masterpiece. Easily goes up there as one of my favorite movies of the year so far. Lol
Scott Adkins' character is in part also homage to Sammo Hung, who is a really big guy who has done a ton of kung fu and action movies (see Killzone / Sha Po Lang for a relatively recent one -- has Donnie Yen too)
Mentioned in one of the interviews Adkins did
Hey guys, missed the show Friday as I was seeing this, I think its one of the best, up there with The Killer/The Raid/A Better Tomorrow 2/Eastern Condors.
Hollywood wise it could be the best Hollywood action ever, only nitpicks are why put Scott Adkins in a fat suit, and Donnie's "Blind Fury" powers were a bit much towards the end, but they are nitpicks with 160 mins of MAGIC! I'm going again Wednesday.
Did anyone else think Exorcist on the staircase fall?
My favorite John Wick: I think it had the best choreography, timing/matching with the soundtrack, best villains/henchmen, best supporting cast, wonderful script for the confinement it had, and spectacular ending. A movie you don’t want to miss out on for the theater experience.
The smirk the Bowery King gives Winston when he asks if John’s in Heaven or Hell and he says who knows makes me think he’s still alive
John wick - Best
John wick 2- straight hell fire
John wick 3- Masterpiece
John Wick 4- Cult Classic God of Action Flicks
I loved the Warriors homage scenes
It’s very rare for the 4th film in a franchise to be just as good if not better than the previous. That said, I hope they end it after this, otherwise John Wick will be approaching superhero mutant territory. John Wick 6 will have him driving a car off rooftops while dodging helicopter rapid fire bullets.
Less superhero mutant territory, more Fast and Furious meme territory
Scott Atkins has been making direct-to-DVD movies for over a decade, and the biggest role I have seen him in was as the main villain in "Ip Man 4".
Hahaha that dude will never make it in Hollywood unless he stops making those god awful F grade films. Every film he does digs him deeper in cringeville.
@@rockwell7043 - He definitely has the martial arts skills, but unfortunately for him he's 30 years too late. He likely would have had a better chance in the late 80s and early 90s to be a Jeff Speakman level star, but he wouldn't have been able to surpass JCVD or Seagal. To your point, he might be able to have a decent career making Redbox action films, but I don't see him breaking out unless his agent tells him to stop making all of those films and focus on smaller parts in more reputable theatrical films.
The last hour of this movie was absolutely insane.
Alan mentioned Rumble In The Bronx yes yes yes one of my favorite Jakie movies ever.
"I AM KLAUS. "
This movie was awesome. Go see it.
The Resurrection of the Action/Martial Arts Movie is here. Thank you, John Wick.
Just watched it now. Was a bit too long imo but overall it was good. Not great but good.
Barely recognized Scott Adkins. That was awesome. Every character was excellent. Man I rarely can sit thru a near 3 hour movie but felt it was effortless with John wick 4!
The "Mr. Nodody" thing... could they be laying the early groundwork for a shared universe with the Nobody movie (movies, once we get a sequel)?
I did watch Barbarian on the FilmThreat recommendations. It was awesome thanks.
Same!
I don't think that anyone has seen raid redemption or raid2 to ask that question.
How many double taps do you have to see before you get bored?
I was looking for a tag for Lance Reddick, but there wasn't one on the print we saw.
John Wick is only 14A here in Canada. Meaning anyone 14 or older can see it without an adult.
Loved the movie. Laughed out loud at the Lawrence of Arabia shot. Great comedy beat
The first and only time Singing in the Rain will be said in the same breath as John Wick.
I loved it when he fought Caine 😮
At this point, is this Keanu's definitive role and/or franchise?
Great question...especially with Matrix4 tainting that series.
100% Yes.
I don't think anything can replace the matrix, no matter how better JW or future movies could be... Matrix is iconic.
The 3rd speaker brought the knowledge, yes there's a latino in the film, Marko Zorra. Glad he mentioned him. Great martial arts action actor. And most people in the West only know Donnie Yen from Ip Man and Star Wars. The man's made over 80 movies for decades with some of the best martial arts filmmakers on the planet. Glad he mentioned Iron Monkey, a classic. Also Dragon Tiger Gate, Once Upon a Time In China 2, SPL, Flash Point, the list goes on! This film also puts guys like Scott Adkins in front of mainstream audiences properly (even in the fat suit) but again this man's a martial arts movie legend. Has been in films like Doctor Strange as a glorified stunt man but you need to see Undisputed 2, 3 and 4!
Check out "Avengement" for a great Scott Adkins movie
Can't find the link to the live show of the martial arts expert... Chris wants to include them in the description . anyone can help?
Pretty sure the bad guy with sideburns was latino.
Has Jason Statham ever been approached for any of these aweso e WICK Films ? Loved this JW 4 , so so entertaining and Creative !
It’s literally being in love mainly or only with the action. The story, caring about the characters, and the plot are just stupid. If a movie in the future delivers a much better action than this movie, we would all just move on to that.
There’s a reason why Luke Skywalker till this day is among the most iconic fictional characters of all time. Which is the bond between the characters and the audience. That real connection of being inspired and that we care about the character. Thus, we won’t ever move on from such connection. As for future great characters, we’ll simply make room for them and NOT replace the old.
That’s what’s missing from John Wick 4, even though the action and the production were all amazing.
"There's no Latinos in it"? But the Marquis' main henchman was speaking Spanish with a thick accent throughout the entire film. Pretty sure there was your representation right there in front of you. LOL!
Mark Zaror is an action star from Argentina I believe. And yeah lol I mean they pretty much had the diversity quotas without it feeling forced! And so what if they didn’t have your heritage in the movie!? It’s not like there’s a shortage of Latinos in film and tv!
What’s Paulie’s channel?
The film being 3 hours long is not a hindrance to the box office. The highest grossing movies of all time are all 2.5 - 3 hours long! Avatar, Avengers Endgame, Titanic, Avatar The Way of Water and Avengers Infinity War all made over $2 billion at the box office, and all those movies are between 2.5 - 3 hours long! What makes a box office success is if lots of people love the movie and go back to see it again and again, which John Wick 4 will probably have no problem with because it's awesome!
Alan, the Marquis' lead bodygruard was Latino :)
I think it depends on how much money the movie makes as to whether he's dead or not
John Wick in Space !!
I don’t think he’s dead. He still has to dismantle the high table. We don’t know anything about that organization and who runs it.
I walked out after an hour. It’s gone from an action film to a kung fu gun shooting music video.
btw. NO ONE is calling out copying off 1970's Warrior?? the girl on the radio?? straight copy. not even an homage. straight up copy.
Have to stop watching this review so that I don’t get spoiled. I’ll be back.
(Terminator theme starts playing)
Lol every scene The Marquis got more and more French...
Yeah people have completely ruined theaters. There's always people talking. It's a mad world out there.
Every fucking time I go to the theater I ask myself how the hell I managed to forget the annoyance I had from my last experience and re-promise myself to never go again.
It's not like crazy over the top, but I'll always hear mumbling of discussion. In john wick 4 I could hear talking during peak action scenes in IMax, extremely loud scenes. People just don't have common sense or are selfish and don't care.
You can’t beat the Bourne trilogy
There are many other more better action films that can be labeled with "Best Action Film Ever" logo,such as any 80s and 90s Hong Kong actioner,and 80s Cannon Films actioner,any Straight-To-VHS video/DVD 80s and 90s actioner,and so forth and so forth as the JOHN WICK films are as formulatic as both THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE films.
It was good. But there have been far better ones. The last few mission impossible films have been. It was better than the third one. However I do wonder why he is so indestructible to blunt force trauma, falling etc. Still I enjoyed it which is something that doesn't ways happen these days.
Hello cinephiles! @Film THREAT. What do you think? Keanu Reeves lost his Love In real life... Don't you agree that maybe the actor's losing his wife or girlfriend influenced the ending of this movie? SPOILERS : the writing on the ...Tombstone Living husband... That's possibly how he thinks about his lost love.
In REAL shoot houses we have catwalks for observes to watch the training from above. That movie scene is merely taking real life and putting it on screen
bad guy killed by the tracker and is dog is latino
I thought the movie was amazing but I don't know if it was my favorite John Wick?
movie was good. one major plot hole was mr nobody. was he good? was he meant to be bad? his motivation wasnt clear. and squabbling over 20 or 23 million ?? haha come one. very weak motivation. that was worst part for me. enjoyed the whole movie tho.
If they had not destroyed the world building (literally the description of one unbelievable scene that ripped me out of immersion) and handed out plot armor like Disney giving out tickets to The Marvels, this could have been considered for that list. However, this movie is unfortunately deep into the realm of mindless fun, as continuity does not even apply within scenes, and the retconning of past facts also damages them now. In one scene many cars hit Wick in a row and he is perfectly fine thanks to the magic armor, but he tosses a guy wearing the same suit with his hands into the side of car and that nearly knocks the enemy out. It is too bad they went more Marvel than the Marvel with it, but there is still fun to be had in many of the sequences. Not close to a near perfect like Die Hard, Terminator 2, or Aliens. Also, everyone using the same moves as John began to grate, and him abandoning tactics to just count on the magic luck he picked up somewhere, that makes sure everyone will try to stab him with their gun, shoot only the suit (clearly Beskar to attract all ranged attacks), or bows that take forever to reload, really pulled this down at times. The scenes where they default to blades first were really cringe-worthy. Still it is on track to turn a decent profit by the second week, so apparently a lot of people appreciate the lack of agenda and the wall-to-wall action, even with the above. For me JW 1 is still better. This will be a one watch and shelve for me, though I will go back and see the first many more times.
I am Claus
Juri Boyka FTW! ;o)
You didn't think the action scenes went on a little too long? At one point in the Osaka sequence, I was like "Oh, okay, two more guys with the bulletproof masks. Two more general dudes in grey suits" for like 20 minutes
I actually completely agree with this. I would have cut about 10-15 minutes from Osaka.
Mad Max Fury Road is the best action film of all time. Still is.
I think I agree.
Well, a movie without plot, no stakes, no balance and endlessly long fight scenes. He falls from three story buildings, stairways and never breaks a bone. How long is disbelief supposed to be suspended? Is it a great stunt-fight-choreography reel? Yes. Is it the best action movie ever made? Of course not. It's not even the best of the four Wick movies. I fell asleep before reaching Paris. I was begging for this movie to end.
Was it that bad?
Wow, you captured all my thoughts exactly. My first thoughts walking out of the theater: The movie felt bloated. And numbing.
But I don't regret paying to see it. I was disappointed - after hearing all the hype - but at the same time I did have a good time. You do get your money's worth with this, just in terms of those set pieces.
This franchise should be handed over to some good writers to flesh out a trilogy of prequel films showing how John Wick started out and met all these amazing characters.
I thought JW4 was good only FOR TODAY'S MOVIE STANDARDS. It wasn't a very good movie compared to previous decade's movies, but considering today's cringe that makes a $B per film, it was good. This movie asked the audience to suspend their logic & common sense waaayyy too many times. Like just how often can JW get hit by a car, and still keep fighting? How many times can he fall from the second or third floor and nothing happens? After the umpteenth time, I'm realizing there's poor writing behind this and they're asking too much of the viewer. I put this movie around the level of an 80's Steven Seagal movie, but since it's a current times movie, it gets absolutely no competition, making it "look good."
John wick - best
John wick 2- straight hell fire
John wick 3- Masterpiece
John wick 4- cult classic Cinematic orgasm
It’s shooter/combat video game: The Movie.
Entertaining, but ridiculous. Calling it even potentially “the greatest action movie of all time” is absurd hyperbole. It’s a video game.
Terminator 2 is arguably the greatest action movie of all time. Video game style movies end up just being noise and don’t come anywhere close to T2.
John Wick is alive... a fifth movie won't ruin the series...
This movie is overperforming than Shazam
The Raid is the greatest action flick of all time in my humble opinion. That first movie was incredible
Nothing beats THE WILD BUNCH.....
