Let's see, it's too unrealistic, so we have to make the guns less accurate, prone to jamming, less head shots, less lethality, more randomness and slow paced standoffs.
Also John would likely die multiple times in one movie alone, so we'll need more of just a 'general good guy' team, but they'd need funding for all their guns, so that'd probably have to be, like I dunno, let's call them The Police, like the band, that'd be fun.
Ok, so now we have life like shoot outs that don't go anywhere between criminals and the police.
Now what, OH, they shouldn't fight over gold dubloons at a hotel, that's ridiculous as well said the goons, that's too far out there. What do people like? I dunno, drugs? Actual money? I guess? But no one really has like, huge sacks of cash, so I guess it'd probably be drugs. That makes sense. Ok.
Also you probably wouldn't really get into THAT many gun fights, people would get mad.

So we need slower paced, more realistic, less deadly and far less frequent shoot outs between the police and the bad guys over some drugs that don't really resolve anything. Check. Anything else?
Intermissions so that you and the characters can all go take a poo poo, let's say 3, each movie, 10-12 minutes long to make sure everyone wraps it up. Also the bad guys never win or come close to it really once they engage like this in real life so we have to make that clear from the get go. Ok?

Alright, so, we start each movie off with a crawl explicitly stating that crime never pays and that the police will disrupt major criminal activities. And then we get slow, plodding, only-semi-dangerous, very infrequent gun fights that everyone knows the ending to between 10-20 minutes of dead air.

What can I say gentlemen, these goons can REALLY make a movie!

Chad Stahelski i'm calling you out for being the worst director of all time. uwe boll is a better director than you. your characters are trash. there is more life in the carebears than there are in any of your pretend people. you have bad sensibilities and preferences. you are barqs root beer personified.



im honestly amazed people like these piece of poo poo john wick / nobody movies so much



the action is lovely and nowhere close to realistic
the denoument is always underwhelming and exclusively propelled by macguffin plot elements
the climax is predictable and asinine
the characters are unbelievable and boring baring revenge fantasy violence



i think they are some of the worst films i have ever seen, in my life, and zardoz is legitimately leaps better
yet they're rated 90%+ by viewers like you



long story short: whats a matter for you?????????????????????

Just for fun if you ever see social media putting him up on a pedestal as one of the great actors of our time, just spam clips from Much Ado About Nothing or Dracula.

Let me break your point here and say no matrix defined a genre and was one of the most influential pieces of media to come out of the 90s. Point Break is a dad movie for Sundays when it's too rainy to bbq.

Couple years ago, the TV was just on, and I walked in on this playing, and I legit thought it was a MADE-FOR-TV movie, like for the Sci-Fi channel or some poo poo.

I think that's Field of Dreams, which is also an excellent action flick. Keven Costner adrift in a cornfield, with only the ghosts of old men to keep him company until he can finally tell his dad that he's gay. So beautiful.
