Action and Adventure : John Wick

John Wick

Watched John Wick for the first time tonight thanks to Best Buy/Walmart Black Friday sales giving me 4k copies of these for under $30. Surprised that I liked it since i'm not huge on actiony movies with lots of violent deaths and explosions, but not surprised that I still hate Keanu Reeves. Could have used a few more explosions and violent deaths to spice things up, though. 8/10 will probably watch the sequels but if they kill another dog i'm going to riot in the streets!

Re: John Wick

You hate Keanu? What did the guy ever do to you?!

Re: John Wick

He's just very dull and bland. That movie he was in a few years ago where the 2 underage girls tormented and then killed him was particularly brutal to watch thanks to his poor acting.

Dude looks like a schizophrenic homeless guy.

Re: John Wick

I think he's good at playing an asshole. His roles in The Gift and The Neon Demon suited him, even though he's a sweetheart IRL.

Re: John Wick

2nd one is better. Haven't seen the 3rd one yet.

Re: John Wick

I watched the 2nd one last night and definitely didn't think it was better.

I'm also pissed because the 4k disc DID NOT WORK and I had to watch the bluray. I didn't even try to load the digital copy because the digital copy from John Wick 3 which I had previously entered also DID NOT WORK.

This is the worst batch of movie releases I have ever seen for being fucked straight out of the package and I will be taking them all back for a refund.

Re: John Wick

First one was pretty fun.

Never finished watching the second one, can’t remember why.

Re: John Wick

The suspension of disbelief required grows ridiculously as the movies progress, to the point by the third one it becomes a completely unwatchable mess, but the first one is pretty good if you can get past all the complete bullshit and just try to enjoy it. The third movie basically has no plot and seems to have been done for no other reason than to keep the cash cow mooing along. Can't believe they are making a fourth movie… probably won't bother watching it.

Re: John Wick

I reckon I’ll give the first one a rewatch soon. Only saw it the once.

I remember it seeming like an endless cycle of

“We’re so badass, we fucked over a guy”
“Do you have any idea who you fucked over!?”
“Derrrr no I don’t get it, who cares?”
“YOU WILL SEE JUST HOW ULTIMATE JOHN IS!”

Re: John Wick

In the third movie things were set into motion where it was like every soulless assassin wanted a piece of John Wick at that point. The fight choreography was mind numbing after about 1 hour into the plot.

Re: John Wick

If I ever watch the third It'll just be to see why it has an R18+ rating in Australia while the first two only have an MA15+.

Re: John Wick

They probably show a guy's hairy ass in the 3rd

Re: John Wick

Obviously you didn't ready my review!

Let's just say nearly every scene had extreme violence and gore. It was to the point that I cringed, after that I marveled at the fight choreography, stunts and visual effects sequence. There is this part with Halle Berry's attack dogs. I was in disbelief at what I saw that German Sheppard do. I'm still trying to figure out if visual effects were used for that particular stunt.

Re: John Wick

Extreme violence and gore has me sold.

Will watch it when it's available on Netflix or when the bluray hits the bargain bin.

Re: John Wick

It's worth the wait and not a very complicated plot. It's just kill or be killed like the second except more. I'm not going to spoil anymore.

I can tell from chatting with you that you you'll probably have some complaints like Hungry did although Hungry seemed like he wanted John Wick to be an action spy thriller for intellectuals. These movies aren't. It's a no brainer, push the limits type of action/adventure.

Re: John Wick

The love for Keanu had always puzzled me because he has proven himself over and over to be an incredibly limited and untalented actor, but I think that a lot of that affection comes from multiple interactions with fans in real life, who consistently describe him as a pretty great human being.

I dunno.

For me, the dog was the whole movie.

Re: John Wick

With some actors it's less about their acting ability and more about their charisma and star power

Re: John Wick

Keanu has the charisma and the good looks for his age.

I liked the way he played John Wick. It was macho and similar to John Wayne all american tough guy image. And John Wick had a very dry sarcastic humor that Keanu was perfect at. Did your boyfriend let you see the movies yet?

Re: John Wick

I haven't seen them yet. I like Keanu but I watch more TV than I watch movies

My boyfriend isn't a big movie buff

Re: John Wick

Well I thought Keanu looked sexy in those movies. He also looked sexy in Something Has Got To Give.

Re: John Wick

Definitely

Re: John Wick

Just like the Matrix sequels, the John Wick sequels should never have happened.

Re: John Wick

Not a fan of The matrix, though I remember the first one just being alright. The others were an incoherent mess.
