I'd rank 3 the lowest simply because the plot doesn't go anywhere, John ends in the same mess he started in, and most of the threads get brushed aside in the next movie.

Also 3 had Charon tell us that 9mm 124gr or whatever was SERIOUS BUSINESS which was funny.

Yeah plotwise the third part is probably the weakest because it just kinda goes in a circle and the whole Marocco part doesn't really go anywhere. But at the same time the aesthetics and setpieces felt a lot more memorable than 2's.

Utterly baffled, but in a good way, by the scene where the Marquis is waiting to receive news just standing in a fancy barn with ladies riding horses in circles around him, clinking swords.

Easily cost more than the bounty on wick a combination of the gross excess of wealth and conveying that dealing with Wick isn't about the money he's costing the High Table, it's about the message. just like how the entire series has been with the coins.

John Wick 5: Lightning strikes the grave of John Wick and a gnarled hand breaks forth from the earth. In order to be laid to rest, John must defeat the five monster lords of assassin world: dracula, frankenstein, the mummy, swamp thing and the wolfman. Edit: the movie is 17 hours long.

I'm going to rank these guys in terms of difficulty for John Wick to kill: 5. Wolfman: Basically just any other assassin with a gimmick and weak to silver bullets, Wick would blow this guy away no problem. 4. Swamp Thing: This would be higher but I think John would be respectful of Swamp Thing's love of nature and they'd ultimately end the fight as allies. 3. The Mummy: Fighting him would probably not be too much trouble but you've usually got to figure out the mechanics of whatever magic brought him to life to actually kill him, which would take some extra time, research, and planning. 2. Dracula: A pretty tough fight with Dracula's ability to turn into bats or mist but the inevitable finisher with a wooden stake would be sick as hell. 1. Frankenstein: A big tough guy who is almost impossible to actually kill, probably the toughest in terms of a knock-down drag-out fight.

Flying Zamboni posted:I'm going to rank these guys in terms of difficulty for John Wick to kill: I am envisioning that each monster has a themed lair a la Five Element Ninja. (Honestly thinking they might have a hard time with Dracula as the bulletproof suit guys doing the dracula cloak pull maneuver in JW4 is pretty sublime already.) For Frankenstein, I’m going the Castlevania route and letting him have some cyborg rocket and gun appendages as part of his Wickification. The mummy’s funeral wraps are soaked in liquid kevlar, obviously. He needs to be unraveled before being vulnerable.

John Wick grabbing one end of a piece of wrapping and kicking the mummy out of the window of a tall building, the mummy spinning through the air and unraveling on the way down like a dropped roll of paper towels.

Wick fights the Frankenstein, but then he realizes the Monster is not Frankenstein. It is Frankenstein who is in fact, the monster. Wick and Monster team up to fight Victor, who has built a new Monster who is bulletproof because their skin is kevlar.

Just contributed to that milestone tonight. Great actions with fantastic visuals and set pieces. The bulletproof suits felt a bit used up times, but the cool locations or change in shots kept it feeling fun. Hmmm favorite location might be Berlin or maybe the stairs. But they were all great. Wicks real power is he is a tank. Takes so many falls off buildings, hit by cars, thrown down stairs, but always gets up.

Don't really go to the cinema any more so just caught this on home release. Was pretty nonplussed by JW2 and JW3, they're fine movies that to me got really bogged down in lore and set building. For like the first 90 minutes of JW4's runtime I was pretty down on it, wasn't really doing anything that felt dynamic and the "You fool, John Wick (and audience), you assumed this thing worked like this but there are other higher powers here blah blah" is tiresome. Not properly awful though because I would watch Ian McShane read a phone book. However, god drat does JW4 kick in to a whole different gear once everyone's in Paris. Clear goal, clear stakes, super exciting choreography, creative but well framed and paced action. No notes, just loving great poo poo. Loved when the camera pulled out of scenes to really set things up, it's the good JW stuff. I don't want or need 50 cuts in 10 seconds to build momentum and tension. This film rocks. It didn't need to be almost three loving hours though.

sigher posted:The more I learn about the Wickiverse and the assassins the less interesting any of it becomes. You can just come up with some other form of "bond" to get out of trouble, chop off a finger here, blood on a coin there, and hey, sear your forearm for funsies. It's all meaningless fluff and lost its intrigue 2 films ago. I mean, that's kinda the point of the overarching narrative of the series, right? In the first movie we start with "without the rules, we live like the animals" and slowly but surely we see how thick and inane the layers of these rules are as John & friends show people that when the chips are down, no amount of rules or traditions will be as useful to you as sticking by your friends anyways. The fractal layers of rules about rules is supposed to keep the characters from rebelling against the rules because they are designed with enough bullshit to let characters think that they can work within the system by following a different rule, instead of figuring out that the game is rigged and they would be better off flipping the whole game board over. It takes Winston all the way up until he hands Wick that last bullet and says to "just kill him" to figure this out. That's why the Marquis doesn't just want to kill Wick, but the idea of John Wick - the actual purpose of the web of dumb rules and traditions was to make sure everyone under the High Table viewed their relationship to anyone else in the context of one of the High Table's bonds, or markers or oaths, or whatever. Wick just showed them that actually they can just stick by their friends, rules be damned.

Walter Hill directing Hard Times, then The Driver and The Warriors, then producing Alien, then directing The Long Riders, Southern Comfort, 48hrs and Streets of Fire is the best run of films from any Action/Suspense filmmaker.

The warriors rules and I wish there had been maybe 30 minutes less film before it happened. Or more leaning into the random ridiculous assassin gangs of paris. Who are the paris orphans, or the furies?? A bunch of the action scenes felt like they went on just a touch too long, outside of maybe the overhead shot in Paris
