Plot Armor: Chapter 4
Watch a collision-proof Keanu take out a million goons who have worse aim and timing than a blind man. Also, here's a random black dude with a dog for no reason.
It’s like watching someone play a pretentious shooter on easy, with unlimited ammo and auto aim turned on, so basically a borefest outside of a couple of sequences. I just need to reconcile with the fact that these movies are not going to click with me.
The same story that makes no sense at all as in 3rd part, this time almost 3 hours long. And even action didn't do it for me, felt like a game in a God mode with nobody dying from bullets or car hits.
It only went downhill from part 1, which I loved. I hope this was the last part, at least for Keanu. I love the guy but he was so painfully slow, especially in compare to Donnie Yen. Who was the best part of this movie, by the way, just fantastic. He did an incredible job fighting in a "blind" style.
Holy sh**! This is pure art.
Highly enjoyed this chapter! Always been a big fan of the series and this one didn't disappoint. Donnie Yen was such a great addition; his character was so fun.
My only gripe is [spoiler] the whole "everyone is bulletproof" thing that was started in chapter 3. They took that to the extreme in this one.
Post-credits scene at the very end
They never should have made this into a "universe".
Overly-complicated long fights that make no sense.
Keanu has 10 lines literally.
The only time he delivers lines with emotion is when he's speaking to Laurence Fishburne or - surprisingly - when he's talking in Russian.
Too many new characters that are there only to be killed / to be forgotten and basically nobody cares about them.
The villain is weak.
Too long, which equals too boring.
I am convinced that people just don't get what a good action movie is these days, not only because of the majority of the comments here, but also most people in my theatre liked it so much. Just because there are long complicated fight scenes, doesn't mean that this is a good action movie.
First John Wick film is a perfection. Second one was also very good. I will rewatch them and pretend that this was never a "universe".
Every time you thought the fight scenes are almost over, there’s still more and it gets crazier! Some people might think low of Keanu Reeves’ acting range, and it shows clearly here, but he seems to fully accept that and enjoys the ride. That’s the least of the problems though, when it comes to doing action scenes, he totally delivered as always. The story is kinda meh and pedictable, but at least the cinematography is neat and lots of beautiful shots to please our eyes. 7.5/10
R.I.P Lance Reddick
There’s 30-35 minutes of a stylish, cartoonish, low stakes action reel in here. As soon as people open their mouths, it becomes laughable to me. It really says something about how much people are starving for practical action movies when they’re willing to excuse E-tier level acting, pacing, characters, dialogue, worldbuilding and storytelling. 70% of this is not an engaging experience, it’s boring and not well executed. It’s pretty to look at (easily one of the best looking films of the year), but inexcusably long. Sure, only Tom Cruise can match the action at the moment, but he doesn’t forget to fill the other parts of the movie with clever writing, intrigue, tension, drama and humour. I’ll never understand what people see in this. These would be so much better if they explicitly acknowledged their own camp and had a little more fun with themselves, instead of trying to play it straight and cool.
4/10
Man likes dogs, shooting guns, and friends. He faces an old enemy, stairs.
God this was boring and pretentious, they really should stop pretending its something other than a brainless action flick.
John Wick has nothing to offer outside of ridiculous and repetitive fight sequences. It is unintelligent and uninteresting. Just a little mental stimulation is all I ask.
“Yeahhhh” — John Wick
I don't know what is the movie everyone has seen here, but I truly believe this one to be the weakest entry in the franchise. Not saying it's bad, just saying it's not THAT good.
boring overlong fights with no tension (the guy one shot kills everyone in a bullet proof suit with unlimited ammo. yawn.), long talky lore scenes, an hour longer than it needs to be. the duel at the end was ok i guess. oh, keanu is awful in this. like meme level bad.
This is one of the most idiotic movies ever made and the people who rated it higher than 6 are effing morons!!!
Beautifully over-the-top and everything you’d want from the final John Wick movie. Congratulations to all involved. Just, wow. “Yeah”. 8.5/10
To be honest this was boring.
Nearly three hours of fighting is too long. JW total speech time on screen is less than 15 minutes. Some fighting scenes seem to be performed in rallenty.
Perhaps should have stopped with JW 2.
Never really been a fan of this genre, but John Wick 4 was pretty good. You come to these movies expecting infinite ammo and nonstop crazy fight scene, and it really delivers. There is a fight scene that is filmed “top down” that was cool.
watched twice and if anyone has studied film, can understand how difficult this film is to pull off. Incredible action sequences, great ending. Loved it.
Typical action movie that bored me after 25minutes of viewing…. Not worth it…
The worst movie, it seems john Wick mashup fast and furious. Now he will be John Toretto Wick.
In a cinematic landscape craving adrenaline-pumping excitement, the fourth installment of this series boldly emerges as a breathtaking testament to the power of action cinema. With a unique blend of pulse-pounding stunts and a mesmerizing palette of colors, this film delivers a cinematic experience that is both visually striking and physically awe-inspiring.
One of the most captivating aspects of this action extravaganza is the commitment of the main actors to perform their own stunts. Their dedication and fearlessness shine through in every heart-stopping sequence, immersing the audience in a world of authenticity and intensity. Each punch, kick, and breathtaking leap feels raw and real, leaving spectators on the edge of their seats, mesmerized by the sheer audacity and skill on display.
Beyond the jaw-dropping action, the film's visual composition stands out as a true work of art. From the vibrant cityscapes to the lush exotic locales, the palette of colors chosen by the cinematographer is nothing short of mesmerizing. Every frame bursts with life, creating a sensory feast for the eyes. The juxtaposition of vivid hues against the gritty backdrops heightens the film's intensity, enhancing the overall experience and immersing viewers in a rich tapestry of visuals.
While the previous installments set a high bar, this fourth chapter rises above expectations, striking gold with its exhilarating action and stunning cinematography. It seamlessly blends heart-pounding thrills with a feast for the eyes, creating a symphony of entertainment that will leave audiences craving for more.
In conclusion, this action-packed journey, driven by the fearlessness of its performers and the artistic vision of its creators, cements itself as a standout addition to the series. Brace yourself for an electrifying experience as this film takes you on a wild ride, leaving you breathless, enthralled, and eager for the next installment.
Disappointed by the decision to just turn it into a string of choreographed fight scenes.
There is only John Wick : The Killer.
Action scenes were the heart of this movie.
10/10 [On Everything]
Why is this movie so long?!?! They could have cut so many parts from this movie, for one the poker scene was absolutely awful.
The bulletproof suits really ruined this movie as well. Whoever thought of that is an idiot
Unfortunately just more of the same with fight scenes that we’ve seen many times before just A LOT longer. Why is Fishburne even in this? So many good characters who they refuse to involve and are just there. They introduce Clancy Brown but he’s barely in it and does nothing. The first movie was great with plenty of action and a good story that kept developing. The second was good and started to explore that world deeper but other than the guy in the desert they didn’t bother exploring that world further in 3 and 4 and instead just wanted more bullets.
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that the action was the key ingredient in the success of the first John Wick film. Between its sheer volume, its impressive choreography, and the signature gun-fu element, it was just refreshing. Unfortunately, three films later and what was once refreshing has now started to feel awfully familiar. Yes, they try to find some unique angles and creative set pieces, but none of it is enough to avoid the fact that the 1,000th close range headshot on the recently thrown henchman isn't quite as fun as the first. Not to mention, for every new action idea that I enjoyed (top down sequence with fire breath shotgun, sequence in the Arc de Triumph roundabout), there were two more that didn't land (blind Donnie Yen...sorry, just too suspension of disbelief shattering, final stair sequence). All of this isn't to say that the action isn't fun. It still is. But it's no longer enough to carry the film for me.
Which brings us to the second thing people enjoyed in the first John Wick: the world building. In this respect, the franchise pretty much lost me in the third movie (maybe even a bit in the second). It all just feels too goofy and melodramatic for me. There are still small pieces that I enjoyed (the sequence where they use cards to decide the specifics of the duel), but the overall vibe just feels too saturday-morning-cartoon in terms of depth.
All in all, John Wick Chapter 4 should scratch the action itch for fans of the genre, but it no longer sets itself apart and the non-action elements aren't nearly good enough to pick up the slack.
Chapter 4 was even more boring and worse than Chapter 3 uff. Apparently you have to be a gamer to like this kind of movie?!
Reminded me of earlier with the first-person matches in CTF and Deathmatch if one had activated the GodMode :rofl:
The beautiful photography and some nice action scenes don't make up for a useless plot that ends a highly acclaimed saga in an anticlimatic way; but John Wick was already a let down from the second movie, so I shouldn't have expected more.
It almost felt like the screenwriters and producers had no idea how to resolve the situation created in the previous movie, which hinted to John Wick (with the Bowery King watching his back) vs the ever-watching and almighty High Table. Strange, uh? So they thought of inventing a silly french rich Marquis as representative of the Table to make life easier for them...
So the plot gets stupid-er, and the pace of the film doesn't help: this almost 3 hours long-ass movie has a 40 minutes fight scene in a japanese hotel that leads to nothing; it has a pathetic antagonist that they invented just for this movie, along with a random black guy with a dog and a chinese blind man who loves John like a brother (yet was never mentioned in any of the previous films). The Marquis especially was a boring stereotyped "filthy rich villain" with no characterization, no motivation or meaning; the black guy with the dog was... there? Like, I really couldn't find a reason for him, if not to act as deus ex machina for John on more occasions; the Regent in the desert from the previous movie literally gets killed in the first 10 minutes, so part of the third movie loses meaning. The Bowery King, who I thought wanted to overturn the High Table system to rule the table himself, or at least control the Table, lead to nothing. NOTHING!!
Everyone is there to help John, and that's it.
A waste of a franchise.
If you enjoy a languid two hours of Keanu Reeves relentlessly punctuating his enemies with a bewildering variety of firearms, then “John Wick 4” might just be your idea of cinematic nirvana. But for the rest of us mere mortals, it’s more like being held captive at a party where the only entertainment is the sound of a leaky faucet.
For starters, the killing scenes seem longer than a winter in Siberia, and I found myself pressing the fast-forward button with such regularity that I’m concerned I might have developed a repetitive strain injury. Perhaps in the next installment, the filmmakers might consider introducing some commercial breaks, so viewers have the chance to rest their fingers. But I hope they keep their promise and this is the last JW.
And let’s talk about the villain. Have you ever tried to build a sandcastle with dry sand? That’s how solid and compelling the villain was in this movie. They had about as much threat level as a half-deflated helium balloon and as much depth as a paddling pool in a summer drought.
The biggest tease of all? The all-knowing, all-powerful High Table. With each film, they promise us more, and each time we’re left holding an empty bag of revelations. In this chapter, we still didn’t get the payoff we’ve been waiting for. The High Table seems as elusive as Bigfoot, just with more tailored Kevlar suits.
And then we come to the stunts. I’m all for suspending disbelief, but there are limits. Even the dog was pulling off moves that would make a Cirque du Soleil acrobat raise an eyebrow. Next time, I fully expect to see it juggling chainsaws while riding a unicycle on a tightrope.
All in all, “John Wick 4” has the depth of a kiddie pool and the subtlety of a sledgehammer. But if you’re a fan of endless gunfire, weak villains, and dogs that get hit by cars and come out of it unscathed, you’re in for a treat.
Is this the way a very promising story should end? After four installments, this not even disappointing… we’re way past that.
Biggest pile of poo violence, nonsense, and a total and utter lack of a script. Perfect for the brain-dead and the spotify generation. The trailer has the full plot. The movie is just an extremely stretched, violent music video.
Though stylish like all the previous entries, this one simply felt like it had been directed by someone who had played a bit too many sessions of online shooters or really enjoyed the 'new mission / new setting' feel of the Hitman series. The fact that Keanu's word count in this movie is probably lower than 200 further cements this feeling.
There is almost no content of worth. The movie achieves something previously unimaginable by this series by making the fights feel like repetitive cookie cutter clutter and thus extremely boring to sit through. We get it, John is a superhuman assassin who's GunFoo is better than most. We do not need the same fights 7-8 times to hammer that home. With the body count growing to match that of a warzone, and not a single scratch on John, where are the stakes? Why should the audience care?
Then there are the spectators.
During some of these fights there are masses of spectators, just normal folks either dancing at a club or driving around Arc de Triomphe, that do not even blink as John is peppered with machine gun fire and men with axes come after him. As the bodies pile on, these spectators just continue their NPC activities like they are in a badly coded 90's video game.
It should be obvious to anyone that the series is running out of ideas when it needed to up the ante so much with the firefights that John's most used item is not the guns he wields, but the bullet proof suite he wears.
For most of the fights we see him cover his head with his jacket as he returns fire in generic setting after generic setting.
At the entirely too manieth such fight, roughly 2 hours into this 3 hour bore fest, I walked out.
Yes, we have come to the end of a legend. I'm sad that this series will now continue without John Wick. At the end of the movie, I already understood how the events would take shape in future movies. I want to touch on something, how this series started; He was a retired person. His life changes when his wife catches a terminal illness. When he went home, he found his beloved dog murdered. This is how the movie started and where it ended. He went to his wife. The man is iconic and will always be among the legends. Thank you to all of them for their efforts.:blue_heart:
Just finish this franchise. Every next JW movie is worse. This one lacks a proper story and a director.
Sadly, the John Wick series is played out. After thousands of headshots and face-stabbings, it turns out that a story is needed, too. I'm a Keanu fan, but there's nothing new to see here. It is a good-looking movie, but that alone doesn't make it worth a look.
The film has exciting fight scenes, an engaging story, and charismatic characters. However, the film is a bit long, clocking in at around two and a half hours.
Jesus it looked spectacular. I'm not a big believer in the HDR format preferring 3D mostly. But this really won me over. Every shot looked absoultely spectacular. Not sure what the story really was and it did go on a bit long. But visually it looked amazing!
There is really no need for the 2h 50min film length.
The story was full of bullet holes but as the action was good, this is still worth a watch.
It would’ve been better to stop at 3. This had none of the heart or magic. Bill Skarsgard was a total miscast, Ian McShane’s fake teeth were so weird, Laurence Fishburne’s role was basically that of a valet bringing fresh clothes, and what in the world was going on at that club in Berlin? Bloody brawl and shootout? Just keep dancing. It was a farce.
It got too repetitive, the same lazy fights in different locations. The cinematography, music and atmosphere were the strong points of the movie for me. In my honest opinion "Upgrade" and "Nobody" are much better action movies than John Wick.
Heroes are as good as the last villian.
Though John Wick is not by definition a hero, he is the protagonist. This time he faces another foreigner brat, very creative choice indeed. Villian has no particular qualities that make him memorable or different, even though actor tries his best the villian just falls flat, which does make the movie pretty weak.
What's particularly good about the movie which makes it different than all the action movies nowadays is there are no nauseating quick cuts that replace good choreography.
The newly introduced relationship between Kane and John felt artificial and couldn't evoke any sympathy from me.
All in all, sound design was good, plot was subpar, action was good, cinematography good, there wasn't too much scenes requiring impressive acting, though obviously the stage presence of Ian McShane and Clancy Brown was there, action was great, pacing was slow. 6/10 Not too memorable
Yeah these movies have always been way over the top but people getting AXED in the head in the middle of the damn dance floor and everyone just keeps dancing? Give me a ******* break. Even NPCs in a game would react more realistically than the average person in this movie. The fighting scenes are repetitive, barely innovating on the previous movies with the exception of the top down shootout in Paris.
Also, turns out the entire police force of Paris went missing during the adventures of Mr. Wick.
Bu- bu- muh epic scenery and beautiful lighting, so artsy!
You're an absolute delusional fanboy if you still like this bottom of the barrel trash. Suspension of disbelief be damned, you have to hit yourself in the head with a hammer to accept this pile of garbage.
The 1st 3 John Wicks got 10 stars from me but this one? Too many annoying characters like the black dude, come on What Halle didn't want to reprise her role so the 1st black dude that said ok they took him? I could accept Gabrielle or Sanaa could have played that role this dude was just completely out of place everytime he showed up on screen. Certain parts where scenes from the Matrix, like Neo oh my bad John waiting for the subway train!! At one point it looked like a Netflix special in the scene with black dude( Johnny Cage) and the Asian guy as Daredevil and John looking like Iron Fist. If this was the last one(because I actually haven't finished the movie yet) then the ball was dropped on this one. and also how was dude able to start a marker after the duel was set? Is he above the high table and the rules?
I was looking forward to the fourth instalment of John Wick but, although I did enjoy the movie, I was also somewhat disappointed.
The movie follows the story from the previous three movies which of course means a lot of action, ass-kicking and so on and so forth.
Unfortunately this is where the problems starts. The stunts, when it comes to the amount of punishment John Wick can take, is just so far over the top that it is really, well, way too far. I mean, come one, he is thrown from building bouncing on ledges like a bloody rag-doll and just walks away. I would expect some unrealism but this is just ridiculous. It doesn’t help that the bad guys all suddenly shoot like Storm Troopers of course.
Add to that, that the script writers took a note from that lazy slob who don’t give a shit about his fans when it comes to finishing his books and kills off a lot of the likable people on regular intervals.
Then we have the ending. Yes the bad guy got what he deserved and it was a really good scene with a twist, I liked that. But then it continues to the “real” ending. Seriously? After slugging through four films we get that shitty ending?
So, bottom line, the movie was okayish but I expected quite a bit more.
I was in the mood for a new John Wick film, and I know the action in these movies is always kind of cartoony, but there's not enough suspension of disbelief in the universe for me to give this a pass.
I'm not expecting Jackie Chan levels of choreography and grounded action, I just want it to not be like a generic video game.
John Wick is made of rubber, every enemy waits its turn and always shoots directly to the body instead of the head, they get knocked by a simple touch while John can jump off a building like it's nothing... Even the Tracker's dog is like a Warg with steel armour. Also, they fight in public and no one calls the police, people in this film are like NPCs with no AI...
Three mediocre writers are credited for this film, not even the three of them put together could come up with anything decent.
this is what action movies should be like ... learn damn it learn . such e beautiful movie.
Every scene was just perfect
Except the ending of this movie
But as wiston said such ìs life
Rest in peace Loving husband :two_hearts: Mr. Wick :heart:
I don't even know if I want to watch this. Has anyone else noticed that this dude has aged like 10+ years over the course of three days? Terrible metabolism yet he is so agile.... How many times are they going to remake the same movie and add a new number at the end? This is getting to fast and furious territory.
Move on to something else alraedy Reeves!
If it was AT LEAST 1 hour shorter it would've been much better. They streched it too far, it was my first time sleeping at the cinema. seriously, I took a good 20 min nap and missed some parts. And that wasn't just me, my friend did too lol. Overall it's not too bad but it really gets boring watching Jhon Wick fight for that long. I liked the characters and cinematography though. Especially that fire shotgun scene.
Bad film. Pointlessly says absolutely nothing.
I was unimpressed by John Wick: Chapter 4. The film was lengthy, with excessive and unrealistic action scenes, losing the simplicity and elegance of the first installment. It became a confusing spectacle, lacking coherence. The only enjoyable aspect was the score, featuring cool songs and a pulsating soundtrack. The inclusion of an invincible blind assassin was absurd, given the presence of numerous professional assassins. Overall, the film proved tedious and frustrating, failing to deliver an enjoyable experience.
Crap! Boring. Crap! Boring! Crap.
Not bad but not great either. It could have been shortened by 1 hour. It's unnecessarily long and predictable. All be it that, it had its moments. I liked how they did not make the fight stunts flowery and superhuman. It's lethargic, humanly imitated and fun.
It's actually why I liked it. These days action movies fight-scenes are done unrealistically. This has bulletproof suits and that's it. Whereas other movies do fight scenes like they're superhuman :skull::joy:. Ik this isn't realistic but it follows its rules correctly. Keanu moves like he's a man unlike shit we've seen in movies like the gray man, extraction etc.
But I gotta say I expected more from this. The predictability and the plot felt underwhelming especially when you know the ending of chapter 3.
Still, recommend it if you watched the trilogy.
Same as the others, how this is rated high is beyond me.
Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat, Rinse repeat...
My wife fell asleep, she's the lucky one.
All action and no story line, and the action is akin to watching a 60 year old get out of bed in the morning.
The movie consists of everyone running around with their suit jackets over their heads because they are bullet proof. As such most fight scenes result in hand to hand combat where blades pass through the same suits with ease.
The main antagonist is blind and stumbles around with a cane until a fight begins and he suddenly has the echo location abilities of 1,000 dolphins.
Gun fights are performed at close range yet the bad guys never hit anyone, or maybe it's the bullet proof suits, it's very hard to tell.
This franchise suffers from the same fate as John Wick. It just won't die, despite how hard it tries.
WTF!!
John is dead.. just like this!! after all he went thru
The series peaked at chapter 2. 1 was great. 3 was decent and this was meh. You can just feel how old slow Keanu is here. They should have just wrapped it all up at chapter 3.
All shooting and totally more unbelievable than the first 3. The Arc de Triumph scene is ludicrous, much like a video game with never ending play time and zero health impact from his from cars.
The storyline was okay, but mediocre compared to the first 3. Hell that's was barely a storyline or any development of the storyline.
This is one of those films that ends the trilogy with you thinking thank goodness that's over.
All the star power any it feels like one of those movies that just was made for the money at the box office and little else.
5/10 for the star power, take that away? 2/10. Stay home and watch video games.
The shooting hit rate in the movie is stormtrooper class. :-D
The Mix Of Characters In This Movie Is Fantastic And Their Fighting Skills And Scenes Are Off The Charts - We All Know And Love The John Wick Movies But I Have To Say This Is By Far The Best Of Them - With Keanu Reeves, Donnie Yen And Hiroyuki Sanada Truly Battling It Out, All Of Them Legends In Their Own Right But Each Fight Scene Is Really A Battle Scene of Epic Proportions From New York To Osaka To Paris, With Osaka's Battle Being My Favorite - I Didn't Know How They Would Top The Previous John Wick Movies But Three Hours In This Movie Felt Like Three Minutes And Always At The Edge Of Your Seat - Can't Recommend This Movie Enough
In the past, I used to think that we couldn't get worse action movies than the Fast & Furious franchise.
I was wrong. I was totally wrong.
I tried so hard to enjoy this movie, even if I didn't like the previous entries. I tried to stay awake while I was watching it.
It's awful.
It's just people that shoot each other for hours. People that fall down the stairs, get hit by cars and can't kill a blind man or a dog. Near the end, I thought that I was watching an overlong episode of Laurel & Hardy, because of the fact that he kept falling down the stairs.
It remains a mystery who that characters were - the blind Chinese, the Japanese manager of the hotel, the guy with a dog, that German mob or that Russian woman - or who wrote Laurence Fishburne's lines in this movie.
I don't care if the franchise is over or if there are spinoffs or TV shows, if John resurrects at some point or if he has faked his own death.
Boring and pointless.
Not the kind of ending I was hoping for. They could've ended it in a more dramatic way. The only thing they focused on was fighting. What about the high table and people above the table? No information about them. They're still a mystery.

What a fantastic and thrilling movie!
Bill Skarsgård stole the show for me.
Worst movie I have half watched all year, deleted after 45min
What a ride!
Great cinematography, great stunts and great soundtrack.
Watch it in iMax if possible :thumbsup:
This is getting a bit much isn’t it? Was Japanese DareDevil really necessary? As if these movies weren’t lacking in realism already. Jeez. I get why people enjoy these so much, because the action is still entertaining. Just don’t watch all four so close together, like I did.
A state-of-the-art action movie, everything here is perfect, breathtaking scenes, with many references ranging from Game of Thrones, western movies and even games like The Hong Kong Massacre.
The story is captivating, starting where the previous movie left off and developing very well until the end.
The characters are very charismatic and striking, which is already a fundamental part of every movie. Everything here is truly great.
It's more like a comedy movie now. John can just wave the collar of his suit and no bullet can even graze him, even if tens of people are shooting at him, not even when someone shoots at his face from ten feet away.
Well-directed action scenes, shootings, chases and other kung-fu. The plot is basically unnecessary, do there isn't much of it. ;)
more of the same, enjoyable to switch off to
Very good :thumbsup:!!! KIANO IS VERY GOOD IN ACTI9N MOVIES
A truly impressive film, with some of the best action scenes ever seen on film. Although the story is basic, it was executed with exceptional quality. The world created in the film is extremely captivating and intriguing. The ending is fitting to cap off a series of high-quality films.
There are action scenes that’s well choreographed, almost too well, the camera angles look great, I like the top view fight sequences in a building. Acting is ok all around, I didn’t have problems with Keanu’s acting. However, with almost 3 hrs runtime, it’s just too long. The over convoluted storyline, plot armor and some plot holes just make this film longer than it should be. The pacing of stories from point A to B was slow. After he rejoined that gang again why didn’t them help him fight the bounty hunters or something? Isn’t that your pain is my pain?
boring, already seen. This one was not needed
Honestly, I really hope that this really is the final chapter in John Wick's story. This series has become too over-choreographed, drawn-out and sometimes even goofy. There's no reason for this movie to be 2h50m long. The action is cool, but it also gets dull really quick.
Also, Rina Sawayama was really fucking good in her role.
Wow, just wow. The action sequences in this are unforgettable. The amount of complexity with different characters made so easy to understand is just bliss. My only semi criticism is this is a LONG and HEAVY action movie with LONG and HEAVY action sequences, so you got to be prepared before starting it.
Plus, the 'Minecraft YouTuber' soundtrack could have been so much better.
With a thousand incongruities. To pick one, why does King leave him so far from Sacred Heart?
This movie is absolutely magical.
The blind assassin walks, fights, shoots, and moves better than a non-blind person. Why complicate shit?
This is as stupid and dumb as that show on Apple TV called See.
Stupid Hollywood wokeass nonsensical bullshit. What's next a transgender assassin who kills with her dick?
"There is no John out there. No happy man with a normal life. There is only John Wick: The Killer."
Hard to mention a John Wick movie without mentioning the lighting and cinematography but they somehow managed to make this one extra cool to look at. I really liked the new characters the ending seems fitting for this movies.
A brilliant finale to an excellent series.
:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart: - Absolute masterpiece. Ever since the original John Wick, the franchise has set a standard of what action in Hollywood should be. The action sequences were well shot. The cinematography left me speechless. It was good to see Scott Adkins in abig film! This was an cinematic masterpiece & enjoyable thrill ride worth the run time. Chad Stahelski What an amazing action director. The cast in the film is so perfect.. Keanu Reeves does what he does best… EPIC.. MASTERPIEC….John Wick is one of the top best franchisee films ever made….
Here's how my rating system works:
10:heart:- Masterpiece :100:
9:heart:- Excellent
8:heart: - Amazing :ok_hand:
7:heart:- Great :sun_with_face:
6:heart: - Good :thumbsup:
5:heart: - Average :head_bandage:
4:heart: - Bad but watchable :octagonal_sign:
3:heart: - Bad :sob:
2:heart:- Awful :face_vomiting:
1:heart: - Bull Shit
Trivia - John Wick says only 380 words throughout the film. Almost a third of Wick's dialogue consists of just one word like, "Yeah." Chad Stahelski revealed that Wick doesn't have a lot of dialogue because "Mr. Reeves stripped out roughly half the dialogue written for his character in the initial script." The longest line of dialogue that Wick has is in a scene with Shimazu Koji where he says, "You and I left a good life behind a long time ago, my friend."
"John Wick 4" may test your patience with its excessive length, but it's undeniably the most engaging entry in the series to date. The few narrative sequences are well spread out throughout the runtime, and for the first time we have a charismatic cast to support Reeves’ wooden performance. The deliberate choice of drawn-out and repetitive action sequences lends a unique stylistic flavor, and while I concur that some side journeys could have been easily trimmed out, there's a heightened sense of variety and a more refined direction compared to its predecessors.
Regrettably, the film's primary flaw is its reliance on recycled tricks and plot dynamics from previous chapters, leaving "John Wick 4" feeling like a polished greatest hits compilation of its predecessors.
If my mind wanders, even during fight scenes, it's a bad sign that they're too long and repetitive.
It's another John Wick movie, still like them but every movie gets a little less
Adrenaline burst into dame hell
Perfect way to end the John Wick saga.
Parcial what's on this one seems to be just like all the other ones
This is as close to a perfect action movie as you can get. There's rarely any slow sections, the set pieces are unique & fun, the choreography understandable & immaculate, and the characters have just enough personality to be more than stock archetypes. The only thing I feel that could be seen as a weakness is that the climax feels less intense than much of the rest of the film. It is a more character driven section than action oriented which may not work for those just craving thrills. The more I think on it, the more I feel it works. Even at its 2.5+ hour run time, I still craved more. It was just so good.

Oh look! John Wick is shooting again. And fighting in slow motion. and barely acting. This is redundant and made for an OK final installment. The fight choreography was terrible. A lot of random movements to stall while waiting for there part. That and the unatural movement from enemies makes for a hard watch.
The plot was mediocre.
The Blind !!!!!!!
I'm a bit disappointed
A solid final movie for a franchise that started out so simple. Throughout the four movies, they were able to build the lore of John Wick's world pretty well. This ending also completed a good arc for John Wick himself.
This movie really bored me. The action scenes were mostly just so monotonous :(
The whole universe thing is too much. The bad guys don't know how to aim... But can't complain. This movie is awesome.
Another action packed visual masterpiece.
I want to see more fighting Keanu!! :muscle:
Really enjoyed the movie, but 1 is still the best for me. They should just let John Wick rest now though.
A biiiiiiit over the top & (very) long. But still entertaining. Also. The French police must me sleeping at sunrise ? 7.5/10
