My biggest problem is for all the world building I don’t get what motivated John anymore. The second movie had annoying mafia guy who basically rammed a train through his house to say “yo John wake up i need you to drive me to the airport!” At this point they’ll probably bring his wife back to life and I’ll be all for it

As long as the John Wick movies keep giving me stuff like the knife throwing fight in 3 then they can hang around as long as they like.

Wick's motives are pretty obvious. Dog that was last thing given to him by his love. Blood Debt he had to do or he would get a contract on him for disobeying the rules. Contract on him. Betrayal and still a kill on sight if seen. Spoilered incase havent seen all three.

JW3 sucked but 1 & 2 are still excellent and that alone means I’ll tune in for 4 & 5. The only other good tentpole blockbuster action series around right now is Fast & Furious, and that’s just because of how insanely stupid its become.

JW5 is about John Wick shooting COVID to death. They both die. Pretty bittersweet ending. Post credits scene is an ad for Blanton’s bourbon.

fatherboxx posted:Villainess has the same problems with nonsense plot as JW3, but amplified, and doesnt have good actors to cruise that nonsense No way is it dumber than JW3, with all the jet setting, desert wandering, all the stupid lore around the Adjucator and the High Table, etc. which no amount of “acting” can save. It’s become so bloated and internally inconsistent that even the cast can’t keep it together, including a whole arc around cutting off Wick’s finger so he can kill his friend to get out of being excommunicado and then backs out of it at the last minute. It’s so inhuman and detached from any sort of serious emotional connection that it’s just set dressing to get to the action sequences. Villainess is way more restrained about its secret assassin academy, sorry. It also helps that they didn’t make three of the drat things. The plot can get a bit convoluted but at least there’s some actual emotional weight, and character motivation between actual people with adversarial relationships, which highlights and grounds the climax, with a woman so motivated and pissed off that she’s riding on the hood of a car and driving it with an axe so she can catapult herself into a moving bus. Does the CGI budget start to run out around then? Sure. But it’s something ambitious that you haven’t seen before, which beats the hell out of the guys from The Raid getting beat up or clowned on every time they show up in a Western made movie.

I enjoyed John Wick 2 going more operatic after the lean first entry, just to get something different—but I felt no real desire to see more of the same without some significant shakeup and skipped 3. If 4 looks like it's doing something different or interesting I'll jump back on board, but if the only draw is good action then I'm good with sitting it out.

I still wonder how there are any assassins left in New York after 2. The endless flow of cannon fodder made sense in JW 1 since that was the mob, now we have an organization with triple the manpower and it's like, are there actually any regular people in John Wick's world. Maybe his wife was the only human that wasn't a gangster/assassin adjacent, and that's why he cherished her so much.

The story of the John Wick movies has gotten increasingly ridiculous, but I honestly don't mind as long as they keep coming up with excuses for Keanu to have badass fight scenes with people.
