DarklyDreaming posted:I liked that because the movie seemed to go out of its way to make him unremarkable. In a franchise defined by flash he's noteworthy by dressing like Just Some Rich Guy's Bodyguard. The audience recognizes him every time he does something badass like catch an arrow That makes me feel a bit better lol Every now and then you see something in a film like this and it’s like are … we doing that now? Also that fat herman in the water palace has to be some kind of famous fighter or something right, great character he had a face like the mayor in a nightmare before Christmas lol

Saw it this afternoon and goddamn it ruled. It’s hands down my second favorite Wick after the first. It’s a beautifully shot movie too, probably the best looking of the whole series. I loved Caine using motion sensor door chimes in the Osaka gunfight. What a movie.

lol the food binge was like a deleted scene from requiem for a dream I’ve heard a lot about JW4 being the jumping off point for the universe and guessing nobody and the ninja babe from the start are going to have their own shows or something? also really weird emotions at Charon in this film. I felt very upset and creeped out but got over it once the movie started proper.

Really though I gotta wonder if the High Table is gonna collapse within ten in-universe years or so. So many higher ups dying in a short span, ordinary thugs openly exploiting the system for more money with no repercussions, poo poo's unstable

I’m thinking that nobody is the prince of the sewers or something and has a relation to Morpheus you are totally right there has been so much death, maybe that’s going to be the joke. instead of Kenny they can start killing off any stars who play the bad of the week. there were a lot of beautiful shots and moments and things with light happening. it could either become something stylish up there with hannibal or just some real off-brand trash. do you know where it’ll be streaming lol? HBO max vs paramount plus.

Also, fun fact, Klaus of "I am Klaus" fame is played by Sven Marquardt, long-time bouncer at Berghain in Berlin, the infamous nightclub the one in the movie is based on.

They're packed with magnesium so it burns hot enough to potentially damage the barrel and the power can burn incompletely and some it can fuse to the barrel. But they're kind of like Teflon bullets, people mostly know about them from news reports about 'the dangerous new weapons minorities want to use against your family'.

It still didn't reach the heights of the original as a film/narrative, but in terms of action spectacle, this was the best one. The extended falling-down-the-stairs sequence was like a top-three moment of the whole series for me. I personally also loved the top-down video game sequence, although I imagine a lot of folks in the general audience will be put off by that. I also like that John Wick is absolutely impervious to blunt-weapon damage. You need a sharp-edged weapon or a gun to harm him, and ONLY if he's not wearing his +192419513 kevlar suit. I did enjoy the sound design of what sounds like a hundred bullet shells falling out of his jacket and then his vest as he took them off for the duel. Real talk: does that club in Berlin exist? Can I go? Or that spa in the first movie? Jesus Christ the locations in these films are so incredible.

Klaus was a unit, great to hear the trivia from that. Also surprised the scene at the end with the duel wasn’t 100% CGI and on location apparently

I don't know how real it was, like if the car was being towed and they CG'd that part out, but the extended circle strafe drifting shootout Wick does in his car around that one group of cars in the Arc scene was incredible. One of the coolest car moments I've seen in any film.

I don't know why there would be doubt considering a 5th was announced in August 2020, Stahelski reconfirmed it was still planned last May, and this one's already on pace to make more money than 3 (which was the biggest financial hit of the franchise so far)

Just read that at a Q&A with Reeves and Stahelski after a screening, Stahelski said that in a single market the movie has a second credit scene and that people will have to wait for it to leak onto the internet to find out what it's about.

This movie loving ruled. Went to see an IMAX showing and it was full of people who enjoyed it. Near the end, when Nobody's dog pisses on the corpse of the henchman the entire theatre broke out in "oooh"s and laughter. Also good to know I wasn't the only one whose mind jumped to Hotline Miami during the Paris fight scene.

If they do another one I can see them doing a Godfather 2 type duel timeline, with a storyline in the past showing us Wick's one impossible task and a story in the present following Winston, Caine, Mr Nobody and the rest of the supporting cast dealing with the fallout from John's death
