I had the chance to meet the John Wick PR team when John Wick 1 came out. The idea of the movie feeling like a video game was intentional from day 1. The production team invited prominent Game Developers to pre-screening of the movie, and we all loved it, from character introduction to fast-paced gun-foo, we were stunned (ex-Blizzard, Bungie, Id Software folks)

I personally loved Bill Skarsgard and he made me think of Alan Rickman's performance as Hans Gruber in Die Hard who only handled a gun two or three times in the movie but was constantly calculating and stategising to take down his nemesis. I enjoyed seeing his panic and realization that if Wick made it to the duel he could actually lose so his best bet was to send an army of assasins after Wick. For me it worked.

Excellent breakdown as always Mr. Drinker. Of all the amazing scenes in JW4, my favourite was when John saved Mr. Nobody’s dog. It served as an emotional callback to the first movie and what lead him to seek revenge. He didn't want to inflict that kind of pain on someone else, even if that person was out to kill him. A touching moment juxtaposed in relentless violence.

As the review aptly noted, that's not that big of a problem, because the franchise --- since after the most cheaply produced but one with the most realistic violence ---- no longer cares about logic, sensibility, actual flow-charts, or normalcy. When 99.99% of your movie is focused on endless blood, shooting, stabbing, car chases, more shooting, more sword fight, desert horse riding, fake museum props scenes, etc. remembering actual real-life-like sequences of events are the least things you or the audience care about. John Wick is basically a modern and better made Wuxia-Hong Kong flick, you know, martial arts movies that take place in some alternate reality .... from the 1970s to the present.... in which NO MAJOR story line, quality control, or directorial or editing thinking goes into.... It's all the same, with none of the actors and actresses who've just killed literally a dozen or a thousand having a spec of dust soiling their perfectly long, flowing white silk clothes .... with none of them having one sweat forms on their foreheads... Everyone just flies effortless like Superman and Spiderman and Thor and all other comic book character... movies that a leisure lunch discussion and a horse chasing scene are separated by literally just ONE frame of film, with no care or thinking going into the passage of time, logical flow of things (bird chirping, sun sets or sun rise, bees or birds drinking nectar... dandelions twirling through the air... flowers wilting, etc.... the usual fake preparation that goes into making sure the transition from one major scene to another looking MORE earth based, more realistic...

I actually laughed in the cinema and it was obvious to who I was watching with I didn't believe that. It breaks the continuity of the film because the "suspension of disbelief" even in a film like this is stretched.

I think it got more ridiculous as the series went on because the filmmakers are basically retelling Dante's inferno. He's getting deeper into hell with each movie as he goes deeper back into the assassin underworld. Ernst reads from Dante in Part 3, The Bowery King quotes it at the beginning of 4, Charon is named after a character from it. I don't think John Wick could die until he reached the bottom because the world of the movie isn't this world, it's symbolically hell.

I had a similar intuition that John was literally in the Underworld, where everyone knows Evil is in charge. It's not subject to the limits of our physics or human anatomy, as it's nearer to the Matrix than to physical reality. John's journey is to realize, however many lives it takes him, that he cannot kill his way to freedom. But we can have fun watching him try.

Killa and the battle on the stairs to the church, which again reminded me of Streets of Rage (the battle on an increasing inclining, elevating path becoming evermore difficult before ascending to the summit to fight Mr. X) - Even some of the fantastic camera work made me feel like it was a video game, like the birds eye / drone point of view, room to room shoot up in Paris.

The cinematography, choreography and sound in this film is some of the best I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing in those aspects. Beautiful locations, well shot, fight scenes that make me question how they even managed to film them, gun sounds that sound eerily realistic and great music. Perfect to watch in the cinema. Lacks story and the choice to make Caine blind baffles me, but nothing is perfect. Still excellent

I actually strongly believe that Bill Skarsgards performance was one of the most memorable throughout the franchise. His character was cunning and sophisticated and truly seemed like he would belong to a society called “the high table” as he seems to have self image that is very high class.

The thing I enjoy most about John Wick is that it's all killer, no filler. Just pure, balls-to-the-wall action from start to finish, unburdened by wacky comic relief sidekicks, pointless love interests, or anything else thrown in to vainly draw in the "doesn't normally watch action movies" demographics.

Winston told John about the ancient rule when he stood to gain from it. In the previous movie, by the end, he was still the manager of a fully operational continental. At that point, he lost everything, so I’m telling John, he had an opportunity to bounce back to his former status. They even have a line in the film about how he always has an angle to everything he does.
