2/10 - watched in 45min

Don't get me wrong but i watched all three parts before when they came out and just like all other franchises which vanished their original thing and changed into something else, this one was no exception. It also changed to something horrible on the way. As same happened with fast & furious which started as car racing and now has become a 007.

This movie was a painful thing to watch. Those endless, baseless & useless action scenes where some die immediately but some don't die even after whole magazine and then it continues. I watched the whole movie in about 45mins by fast forwarding. There was no emotion, absolutely poor script writing and horrible action. I was just wondering, why these commercial movies have left with nonsense.

It was kind of boring. Took me two days to finnish it as I fell asleep a few times.

I really enjoyed it. Pay closer attention next time and you'll understand why certain henchmen took more shots to drop than others. There is plenty of silly, unrealistic, over the top action going on here but I think it was delivered better than recent comic book movies. I gave it a 7/10..

As always…. WHEW! Good to know this cesspool of a movie discourse/hate site far from represents the actual majority. Unaware newbies beware: positivity ain’t a thing ’round here.

Anyway, congrats on all your well-earned success, John Wick 4 (and the entire franchise). Fucking excellent and beauty of a film. End of

Well, I wasn't a huge fan either, rating it a 6/10.

But it seems pretty unfair to critique any movie that you literally fast-forwarded through. Even the all-time greats will likely fail to impress if you try watching them at 4x their intended speed.

One of my soldiers said it best:

If you really like a movie with endless action and good fight choreography, this is great.

If you want something more with a deeper plot, you're not going to enjoy it as much.

If you're thinking about realism, you'll like it even less.

That sounds perfectly reasonable. For a John Wick movie I'll settle for 'endless action and good fight choreography'.

If you're fast forwarding through a movie and claim you watched this in 45 minutes, then you must've done that with the last 2 because they were no different?? I think you had it out for this movie that face it, was the highest rated movie in the series with a very satisfying conclusion and closure(provided Paramount doesn't go to the well one too many times for success and do the unthinkable and make a 5th installment, which is a bad idea..
