Author: Dark Jedi
I was looking forward to the fourth instalment of John Wick but, although I did enjoy the movie, I was also somewhat disappointed. The movie follows the story from the previous three movies which of course means a lot of action, ass-kicking and so on and so forth. Unfortunately this is where the problems starts. The stunts, when it comes to the amount of punishment John Wick can take, is just so far over the top that it is really, well, way too far. I mean, come one, he is thrown from building bouncing on ledges like a bloody rag-doll and just walks away. I would expect some unrealism but this is just ridiculous. It doesn’t help that the bad guys all suddenly shoot like Storm Troopers of course. Add to that, that the script writers took a note from that lazy slob who don’t give a shit about his fans when it comes to finishing his books and kills off a lot of the likable people on regular intervals. Then we have the ending. Yes the bad guy got what he deserved and it was a really good scene with a twist, I liked that. But then it continues to the “real” ending. Seriously? After slugging through four films we get that shitty ending? So, bottom line, the movie was okayish but I expected quite a bit more.
