My opinion is that John Wick 2 is the best out of the four.

I enjoyed John Wick 4, but I left the theatre yesterday feeling a little underwhelmed with the end of the story.

The action set pieces in JW4 are amazing and set the standard for every action movie that comes out gong forward.

The story though in JW4 just didn’t hit, and the conclusion for John Wick and High Table felt kinda short changed. It final outcome didn’t bother me either….I just can’t put my finger on it exactly why I wasn’t sold on the ending.

Either way fantastic set of movies throughout that stepped it up each and every time.

%100 agree with your praise and critique of 4 especially the short changing of the High Table.

2 lacks the signature scenes that 1 and 3 have

But to me JW2 feels more grounded and has the movie more balanced between the action and the story.

Grounded in what?

Grounded in the story. The expansion of the High Table lore, the rules that go with all of that including the power that they have and the danger that puts John in (the ending of JW2 shows that).

Plus we get to see John use a pencil 😂

It’s just my opinion though.

For me, best to worse JW2, JW1, JW4, JW3.
