These movies have gone a little off the rails, huh? By the time we get around to this one, he's basically unstoppable. You have to turn your brain off to accept that he can get hit by a car a dozen times, fall off high buildings, and get shot and stabbed several times... and still keep going. There is no stopping him, because the box office is good. And the critic reviews are good. And the fan reviews are good too?

As Keanu says as his first of manyvery few lines in the movie, "Yeah."

It is a fun movie to watch, even at that god forsaken runtime. It's the same old story as every other movie, what with the high councils, the ultimatums, the heavy bounties, and a massive body count. It doesn't matter so long as you have that last part. John Wick kills a lot of people.

The fight choreography is great. That's what we're all watching for anyway, and there's this cool top-down single-take fight scene that seems like it's being played in a video game. Pretty cool. Blind Asian Man and Black Guy with a dog are decent characters, Clancy Brown barely does anything, and Skarsgard is an asshole. Ian McShane is in a fair amount, but Lance Reddick has a very minimal role.

To all you boppers out there, there was a huge Warriors reference. "Nowhere to run to baby, yeah! Nowhere to hide!"

Since it makes money, they want to spin this off however they can. I'm not sure I care to see spin-offs, because it's going to become retarded like Fast & Furious at the rate it's going, so this entry would be a perfect place to stop watching and leave on a high note.

IMO the original was the last great action film made by Hollywood. The sequels were fun but could never match the original. I've seen a lot of people saying it's the best since or as good as the first... would you concur?

I think for gratuity's sake, it's up there. The first felt more grounded and smaller scale, which I'm all for. I think all the movies are fun enough, so I can't really pick a favorite. 2 is probably my least favorite, but that's not saying it wasn't good.

I like em all enough personally, each slightly less than the previous tbh. I've seen people saying it's the best since the original. I trust your opinion in this matter. What made the original great to me was it had a great villain/protagonist that was never matched in the sequels.

The original also had Willem Dafoe, which should automatically make it the best.

Still havent seen any of the films. I avoid Keanu films (unless they are comedy, just cause hes such a bad actor)
I like the guy in real life, he knows hes not the smartest thus shouldn't open his mouth, I wish more stars, followed the keanu way

At least watch the first one. A good revenge flick. Keanu is also known as the nicest guy in Hollywood. Goes out in public and talks to random people. Even bums.

I gave up on Star Wars and Marvel. Disney shat all over their integrity. Tarantino is always good though. Gore and Racism points for sure.
