I feel like John Wick is building up to an emotional and poignant finale. I wouldn't really want the series to go on indefinitely as that would rob it of the sense that John is fighting a war he can't win. That's what hits me so hard about these movies. Wick is a near mythic figure of death and destruction, but he struggles for every little victory he has and that struggle is permeated with the sense that it's leading to an inevitable, inescapable tragic conclusion.

We are witnessing his profession post-wife and all the emotions he repressed/never required/had available prior to his meeting his wife. Having somewhat of a soul will, at times, impair/impede necessary actions to be performed. His character prior to his wife was one of an efficient killing machine and even though there were "relationships" in his life, they were mainly on a "business level". This is a world within a world, one that revolves around the notion of honor and respect among killers and thieves. A world we know in reality does not exist at level at this point in time. There may have been a time when this environment had its moments, but they were fleeting.

I've been reading John Kreng's book about how to film action and there is an interesting note he makes about how fight directors in China are stars just as big as the director and receive awards as well as fanbases of their own. With the John Wick series putting fight directors and stuntwork to this level in the west (even starting rumblings of stunt oscars), it makes me wonder if it hasnt started a revolution.

Great video! Although you are right about the villains, I disagree with your stance on Chapter 3. Everything you said about Chapter 2 is what I think about 3. I find myself returning to Parabellum more often than the first two, which can feel a little mopey and sluggish at times. Parabellum's pacing and flow, (Particularly Act 1 and Act 3), felt more like it was inspired by The Raid 2, and that's one of my favourite action moves ever, so that may explain my bias.

I really think JW3 was a missed opportunity. Should have deepened into Wicks past at the Academy. The fights are just meh because Wick is on a round trip, not trying to survive. The ending was very WTF doesn't make sense. An unpleasant surprise that would have been good if had hints about it from before. I am afraid that JW4 be more similar to 3 than to 2. Maybe JW had reached it's climax with JW2, opposite to Mission Impossible, reaching climax in 6, and awaiting for finale in 7 and 8.

"John... is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will." Pretty much sums up the films really. It knows what core audience it's aiming for, it knows how to deliver a simple but gripping/ relatable narrative, it knows how to earn your respect. Loads of action film writers/ directors just think that excessive egregious explosions makes for good action flick but that's just laziness and creative bankruptcy. John Wick's more grandeur spectacles of gunfu literally still has that intimate vibe to it; it's consistent and focused no matter how stylish/ grand the setpieces are.

Incredible video, you nailed almost everything about this franchise in my opinion. I can only think of one thing that you and I disagree on. I think the 4th should be the last. They've set up the pieces on the board and we're heading to an all-out continental vs underworld war. The hope is that it will be the big payoff, everything will e tied off and the character will have done what he needed to do for both the story and for the audience. The creative minds behind these movies have captured lightning in a bottle, the last thing I want to see is for it to become oversaturated or burnt out after movie after movie, sequel after sequel. End on a high note and then get out while you still have the audience in awe.

I love John Wick but I do feel that 3 was a miss step. The first 2 films made you believe in a world, which is quite fantastical but the 3rd overstepped the mark in some areas. Gave too much of a back story to John Wick and he just became too indestructible. The film also pretty much avoided the high table, which in the second film became the big bad organisation and just gave us a very bland head of the organisation. There are still some positives, the action is great and Halle Barry is wonderful but it felt much more style than substance, which I didn't get from the first 2 films.

I'm gonna be really honest. I think for the most part, all John Wick movies are competent action flicks that excell in terms of the action scenes, but overall, they are still pretty forgettable. They don't have any real character arc, they lack a strong pacing, they have a minimilistic narrative that doesn't even work well, they have an illogical narrative structure (especially the 2nd and 3rd movie) etc. Therefore, there isn't really any emotional depth behind the action scenes that would actually make them more effective and suspenseful. The John Wick movies just feel like random action scenes thrown together without any finite goal, instead of feeling like actual feature films. The Raid: Redemption and Dredd are still the golden standards when it comes to straightforward action movies. They have strong atmosphere, excellent and focused pacing, simple yet effective storytelling and character development, etc. The John Wick movies seem great on a technical level but they also feel very shallow as cinematic experiences.

I understand that perspective, but would say that they have to really be seen in terms of where they sit in the world of what I'd consider action cinema. I would say though of course it's opinion, as The Raid only really has any depth due to them establishing early on his wife's pregnancy, and I have never really considered Dredd as good as a lot of others.

I think you're trying to hard. Even the golden age of the 80s wasn't anything deep. Any substance was very subtle like Robocop and Predator. John Wick has its subtlety as well. But we are here for the action. You want depth go watch The Irishman when it comes out on Netflix

Solid essay. The first remains my favourite. The third one the one I liked the least. It looks great from a technical aspect, but plotwise, there are way too many points that just don't make sense, even contradicting its own world building. Also, when it comes to the action scenes themselves, although each by itself is great, there's just way too many of them, each going on for way too long, left me exhausted watching it, and not in a good way, like when one watches a grand spectacle movie. I'll have to rewatch Vol. 2 one of these days.

I really like all three movies. But I really hope they don't increase the scope of the action much more in the fourth. The strong suite of the John Wick films is the amazing choreography and stunt work, not the big sets and CGI. The horse/motorcycle scene is pushing the boundaries for me.

So what would you of done differently? 😎 for me I think they should done away with Morocco, the coin maker and the elder felt rushed. Have the Russian connection, give us some Wick back story and have an old ally help him out in the same way Berry does. Oh yeah and get rid of the stupid reverse grip sword fighting, ugh.

been an uber fan since the first movie came out. What makes this good is the acting, storyline and the world. What Hollywood need to take from this is R rated movies can generate loads of cash as proven with this movie and joker. What they also need to understand there is no political agenda to make it woke like dark fate killing the franchise and all other tv/movies going in the same route. No woke just a good story line and great acting!

The first one is an absolute masterpiece of action film. The second one is easily one of my favorite sequels ever (although I give the slight edge to the first).

Aside from how different the franchise is from what I've seen I appreciate for something else that no one seems to realize. Back in the early 2000s Keanu was attached to a project with 20th Century Fox for a live action series of films for the anime Cowboy Bebop of which Keanu is a huge fan, to the point where he had said that he was willing to play the lead character Spike Spiegel for free. Unfortunately this fell through after years of developmental hell. Now being a fan of the show like Keanu is I find that this is as close to playing Spike as Keanu to come unfortunately.

My biggest problem with the series is that it's going into the realm of fantasy. John seems to be becoming unstoppable even after sustaining a ton a injuries. I'm willing to suspend my disbelief between 1 and 2 because some weeks had passed, so he had time to heal. However between 2 and 3 only minutes passed and he's already in fighting form. Not to mention the fact that he fell how many stories at the end of 3? It's a shame cuz in the first one, you felt like every fight was wearing him down and it felt realistic
