Far better than Chapter 3, but then it really couldn't be any worse, but still a far cry from Chapters 1 and 2. And why Donnie Yen agreed to play the same role he played in Rogue One is beyond me.
Solid entry in the franchise with some great fight choreography which is to be expected at this point and while the story is thin and does clock in at 169 minutes, still found it entertaining and a fine conclusion. **4.0/5**
The first movie was just alright. It was totally new and held plenty of action so it was worth watching once. Twice? Probably not. The second was much the same as the first and by the fourth you are as bored as it can get. Not sure what's wrong with Keanu, but having fun making a movie and actually making something worth watching are two very different things. The guy should keep his james bond ninja training fantasies to himself and maybe think about producing and acting in something that doesn't make him look like a child. This movie was pure garbage. What a waste of time and money. Let's just hope he didn't get the shot.
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.
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.
83/100 The Table has appointed the Marquis (Bill Skarsgard) to take out John permanently but, as usual, John is hard to kill. John can take a lickin' and keep on tickin' but then, everything is over-the-top so realism isn't particularly an issue like... who's gonna clean up all those bodies lying around in the Paris streets. Funny the things you think about while watching the slaughter. The guest characters didn't grab me as much as the previous films and Keanu seems more wooden in this one but the constant violent action still makes this one of most exciting franchises running. -- DrNostromo.com
