Deep down, I understand that movies like Matrix are old... but John Wick?!
I just watched JW4 on Bluray. Big fan of 1 & 2. Thought 3 was silly. 4 was just out and out cartoonish.
Everyone starts wearing the magic impregnable suit, so all you do is duck behind the jacket flap and bullets don't do anything. Felt the same way about the last Matrix installment where Neo is basically untouchable. At that point, all the fight scenes are just pointless videogame cut-scenes. Doesn't matter how many bad guys you throw at it.
The first John Wick is still pretty dope because it was the one with the love interest and dog revenge storyline. The rest, meh.
Thanks for your comment. I feel like I'm on a island when I say the first was the only good one. Sure two had a few moments but the series is straight laughable. I was such a fan of the first one because of the fact the bullets ran out. I kept saying, "Why hasn't anyone made a movie like die hard where people get tired and every bullet is counted? The protagonist picks up the guns of the villains, etc." It's still over the top but it was really nice to see something like that and then they completely took everything I liked and reversed it. Long coreographed fight scenes bulletproof suits, cringe dialogue, traveling to different locations because it would "look cool" if there are mirrors, neon lights and smoke. I don't get the love.
