the movie should just open with him at the hotel or w/e telling the elevator guy to take him to the chronomancy suite. he then loads up a katana and some ninja stars and walks through a door labeled "Feudal Japan". he then starts killing people for the next 2 hrs periodically leaving portals and getting different loadouts from some character actor that calls him Sir and asks him poo poo like "Will Sir have the bastard sword, or the claymore?" and John Wick takes one and does cool martial arts with it to test the balance before saying "Both"

and that's the entire movie, no plot

I mean, it wouldnt take much effort to make a serviceable plot of chasing a guy through history, but you got to fit in.

The first movie is the only good John wick movie. The other movies are ruined by unwanted world building, criminal meetings and shopping trips, and the stupid themed assassins, especially the silenced pistol fight in the crowd where nobody notices

The knife throwing fight where they're scrambling so they can't throw properly and are getting hit with the handles and stuff was pretty cool.

I lost count of the number of times I've seen John wick take a guy down, grab his opponent's gun, headshot two guys who appear in a doorway then shoot his opponent in the head. maybe it didn't happen hat much but it sure felt like it did.

All the desert stuff was really dumb.

After John Wick blasted and shot his way through, like 100 dudes and killed them all and blew up 1000 cars and finally tucked and rolled right into the bad guys office, stood up, and brushed bloody glass off his own, almost broken form, put his glasses on, and said "...I'd like to borrow $2." And then they both went to the circus?
drat.
drat that was intense.

Saw Nobody with friends last night after alcohol and pizza, it was really great and fun. I like the John Wick movies and enjoy the style of action set by the Raid for martial arts and now Wick for weapons play. It's made movies better.

I like Bob Odenkirk in Call Of Saul but I have issue with John Wick because I was told that John Wick went on a rampage because someone killed his dog and then I saw the film and the rampage was because the dog was an emotional surrogate for his dead wife. Dead wife revenge stories are dime a dozen. Avenge the dog, rear end in a top hat.

Agree re: the first movie being a straight shot revenge flick

Second movie could have been a real dumb movie that contained all the ideas too dumb for the first movie

The silenced pistol fight and fight in a hall of mirrors are really cool visuals but its few and far between and it give you enough time to think about the world and it dies

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I liked the part where John Wick shoots a guy in the dick, takes off his sunglasses, and goes "I'd buy that for a dollar!" as he grins and makes a thumbs-up to the camera.

If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!
I liked the first fight scene in Nobody, where he isn't an ntouchable ninja assassin, just tough and willing to keep fighting despite taking a beating. Then he became an untouchable ninja assassin and I lost interest. Went from Die Hard 1 to Die Hard 4.

I was also underwhelmed by John Wick compared to all the praise it got.

it got a lot of praise because people were expecting it to actively suck when it came out

and it was marginally better than the average dreck comic book action movie

so of course for the sequels they learned zero lessons and made an R-rated version of the same poo poo that sucks about comic book movies

The first one was OK. The second I watched because my wife wanted to see it. The third I turned off after the third setpiece fight scene.

I don't care anymore. Over choreographed 1v1 gunkata fights just as boring as "punchman hero vs millions of obviously CGI baddies" fight scenes.

Im fine with low brow humor just gimme something that isn't just visual pablum for ADHD afflicted toddlers.

Just got back from Nobody. I liked it more than John Wick, which I also liked but not as much. I did not expect Christopher Lloyd, so that was a pleasant surprise. The plot is entirely predictable, but it didn't take itself seriously and had good action.

Anyways, here's a quote from this review for their ads:

"Nobody does action better than Nobody!"

Watch the show Gangs of London, it was made by the Raid guy and has action scenes that are more visceral and fun than nearly everything you'll see in actual action movies. Putting an ashtray in someones mouth and smashing their face on the bar is extremely good.

John Wick came to my house and wanted to go swimming and convinced me to change clothes with him and then we showered together by mistake he said and he gave me $20 not to tell my family. I'm almost 40 so that's a nice little chunk of 'me' cash to have laying around just because John Wick wants to share a towel for the environment or whatever imo. I told him he didn't have to pay me but he seemed pretty insistent.
