Over the top fights are kind of the point.

Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Menu, Nope, The Batman, The Northman, and that’s literally just off the top of my head.

And the first 3 are all movies with orignal stories, development, and good dialogue

Judging John Wick on its story and dialogue is the same as saying there aren't enough action scenes in Pulp Fiction so its boring.

Even the narrative was exceptional so I genuinely cannot see where this guy is coming from. Chapter 4 was a spectacular film.

You're complaining about nonsensical, over the top fights in a movie inspired by Hong Kong blood operas?

what?! You want to see an original movie so you go to see the FOURTH installment instead?!!

Calling this a BS rant. Anyone going into this movie knows what to expect.

I suspected this ngl. It just feels dragged at this point. They should have stopped at the 2nd

I also thought it sucked, and I feel like I'm insane because everyone else seems to think it was the best in the series.

I LOVED the first movie, and 2 and 3 were solid 8/10s imo. This last one... way too long, with way too many plotholes and nonsensical writing. For example, the Osaka plotline. Why? Yes, the setting was super cool, and the fight was awesome. But there was literally no good reason for John to go, and the visit accomplished nothing but screwing over his loyal friend. And the whole deal with the Elder? Snoke 2.0. Yes, suspension of disbelief and all that, but some of the writing in this movie was just way too contrived.

And it all just felt like such a letdown. At the end of 3, they made it seem like they were going to go to WAR and usurp the High Table, replacing them with people who've helped John. Winston, the King, Halle Berry's character, Akira, etc.

But nah, instead we get a 2.5 hour snoozefest where the stakes actually felt lower than they were in 3, where the drawn-out action and just lame attempts at humor turned the movie into a parody of itself. Terrible.

Dragon's breath scene was great though, 10/10.

I haven't seen any of them. Just can't buy the fact that it all started over a dog
