I love how Nick always gives names & credit to the aritists involved in the making of these films, even when they aren't his favorite. That's really cool.
"Beautiful ballet of bullets and body-busting." - Nick coming in with the impressive alliteration. 👌
The lady DJ is a throwback to the movie "Warriors" a 70's action classic.
Can't believe you guys missed the tribute to the Walter Hill movie, The Warriors. The DJ calling all "boppers" to stop John Wick is taken almost word for word from The Warriors.
There was also an early tribute to “Lawrence of Arabia”. The one to “The Warriors” was truly embarrassing in how obvious and inferior it was
Joseph..."This shit is ridiculous"... You guys are doing great job reviewing movies. In fact, I love your reviews more than the movies you review.
The falling down the steps scene I swear look like a parody of a John Wick movie LOL it was really comical and absurd!
I think this is the one franchise that I can completely accept that it's absurd and ridiculous, and just completely love it. It's very one note but I think it does that one thing very well. Granted I haven't seen the new film yet, so im only speaking up through Parabellum.
7:02🤣🤣🤣 Joseph said he almost left😭😭
Was the DJ a reference to D.J. in The Warriors? The big guy w gold teeth is Scott Adkins(in body prosthetics), a modern martial arts action movie legend.
Nick said pigeon doo doo. I can't😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I waited for this movie... I waited to watch this review... And unfortunately, I agree with mostly everything stated 😭
I miss the story sequence of having the movie start where the last one ended. I also miss seeing how John got to each location. He was literally the boogeyman just appearing at people's doors.
I wish that some of the characters that we had in the 2nd and 3rd films returned for the 4th. I feel it would've made the film more well-rounded. Especially since there were a lot of new characters (it felt like key info was missing about their history with John.
I love the homage they paid to "The Warriors" (the ultimate chase down movie). The radio announcer was on point (who is she?! 😄). I just wish they made that the second act of the film leading into the third with the "showdown.".
*Radio DJ is Lous and The Yakuza
The fat man shocked me, I thought he would be an easy kill but he was kicking John wicks ass.
The John Wick movie manages to convey the pain that the characters feel very well. In fact, it's possible to feel the impact of the bullets, the shootouts in the cars, and the jumps from the buildings. All of this is very well done. In addition, of course, there is all the beauty that exists in the movie's visuals, all the care and elegance that the director brings onto the screen - and all of this becomes even more apparent when you see the care taken in portraying a message through the beauty of a sunrise. I posted my review of the movie today and it's amazing! Come and learn more about the fourth film involving the beloved Keanu Reeves!
My next door neighbor looks a lot like Killa[Scott Adkins].
I went to go see this movie at my local Cinemark 22 at the last showing which was 9:20pm-12:15am, with my wife[to celebrate her bday that was on April Fools Day] and our 3 children,…..
when I saw Killa, I immediately turned to my oldest daughter[14yrs old] & I told her,” Doesn’t Killa look like our Mexican grandpa next door neighbor with the gold teeth?!!?”
She laughed so LOUD that I LOL’d, she then passed the joke down to my baby girl[11yrs old, whose personality, humor etc. is so similar to mine] & my daughter said out loud, “OMG DADDY HE DOES, THE GOLD TEETH & EVERYTHiNG”.
The 3 of US laughed so loud, I’m truly grateful that the people sitting next to me were teenagers who weren’t angry about our laughter,they were cracking up laughing just as much as we were, one of their friends was SLEEP & SNORiNG 😂
[thinking to myself: bro your falling asleep on a John Wick movie🧐]
I guess when you need to nap you need to nap
I did the same thing to my wife, kids & niece when we went to go see Finding Dory at the Cinemark in Las Vegas the day it came out, so touché to the brotha that was napping during JW4.
A little name biased here, I enjoyed hearing my name[Winston💪🏿] in a movie.😂
I’ve seen every John Wick film when they all debuted, so I’m heavily connected to this franchise & this 4th one ended the John Wick Saga PERFECTLY.
Psyched for this flick. Thanks for the review
Anytime a marker is either given or used, it must be seared into the giver/user. That is why she was branded. Because she issued the marker.
Okay gentlemen, come on. How did we end up in the theater for John Wick 4 expecting anything other than more of the same but better and there's 3 hrs?
Nick quoting Australian bush rangers really impressed me 👍
This was originally going to be 2 movies, 4&5 filmed back to back. Then they decided to make one great movie instead of two but the 3 hours 45 minutes runtime was cut down to 2 hours 50 minutes. Instead of two shorter but more fleshed out movies that could be digested we got one bloated but disjointed tedium. Shouldve been 2 movies with better connecting scenes.
John Wick is a comic book/cartoon, particularly anime, come to life. Limited wording and focus on fight scenes is why most love these films, also Keanu's acting skills aren't the best, so it works double time✔️🌟
They definitely did a shout out to Warriors with the radio dj calling everyone out to kill John Wick, certain scenes of the movie also gave me Bad Boys vibes.
Laurence Fishburne was in the movie as John Wick is Neo in an alternate universe, I thought it was funny they had Wick dress up as Agent Smith for his last fighting scenes 😂 I also knew he didn't really die as John Wick/Neo plays the role of the Christ or Jesus hence why he has the "Jesus look," much like the guy you mentioned in the 65 movie, I haven't seen that movie but I have a feeling he plays the same Jesus role as well. Winston reprises his role of Yahweh which he plays in American Gods- there were scenes, especially the one where he presents the Marchese with the dual, that gave shout outs to that. The Marchese, Bill Skarsgard, reprises his role of Pennywise as he was a straight up clown in this whole movie 😂
RIP to Lance Riddick who ironically died on my birthday 💚
I refer to this world as Contract Killers Inc. These films are just fun and really have no need to make sense. I enjoy seeing all the unique ways they kill people😂😂😂. Then when they throw John Legisamo and his humor. Looking forward to this one too. It’s a just an escape from reality.
Love you guys!
By the ad, I figured it was going to be The Warriors but with a gang of one. A modern take on a Greek lore of a dude is just trying to get home and a whole bunch of shit happens.
As a frenchman myself, that accent from Skarsgård was terrible & his French was even worse. Great review overall, highly agree that this film was "ridiculous"
"This shit is ridiculous" 🤣 I really loved the first film - there was story - you had great side characters (Legizamo) but each one keeps getting more fantastical (is that a word). I mean - it is pretty and I do like Keanu ... but it is predictable.
I mean even the first one was predictable. I’m just here for action and the action was great and it more heartfelt than I thought.
@@surjay5633 agreed 😎
The Family didn't set him up. It was a plan because thats the only way he could get in front of card man ( as I call him) to furfill his mark. I agree with you 100% the movie was too long. It could had been 90 mins & alot of the middle wasn't necessary. I like how they. How Mr. Noboby just randomly always there bother me also lol
I think at this stage of this franchise nobody goes to see it for the plot or acting. Instead, the franchise should be seen as a showcase and masterclass for fight and stunt choreography. I went in with that idea and enjoyed the movie immensely. I hope the Oscars will have a stunt category soon.
This movie was so video game crazy and absurd and I loved every minute of it! Especially when angry Scooby-Do (as I like to call him) peed on that one bad guy he helped kill!
Aside from being like the kinds of movies you listed it also seemed like a blending of Jason Borne, James Bond, and the Fast & the Furious films with the shooting out the door frame while driving fast in a seemingly endless circle! And also a bit like MATRIX 2 because of the fancy sophisticated villain with his lavish rooms and demeanor
Y’all wild.
Finally some honesty about these movies. They’re silly. And they’re not really movies as much as they’re a collection of well crafted slick action scenes.
I just watched it today, and I agree that it felt long. I kept waiting for John to make it to the high table😑...I mean you know what to expect from the movie, but it didn't offer anything new... I liked part 3 better
Wanted to watch JW4 before this review, it was good to hear a Lance Riddick call out ... RIP 🙏
I feel like you Star Ratings are so wrong! But it does not make me enjoy your reviews one bit less (maybe more?) Great review. I love your reviews overall because they are 1) Spoiler FULL!, 2) highly opinionated, 3) informative, 4) Great Summaries, 5) cover the majority of movies I care about and 6) get to the point fast! I am really enjoying your back catalog! Great job, guys and many thanks for the fantastic content.
I have never seen a John Wick movie! I knew the first one involved a puppy killing and lots of violence so I knew it wasn't for me. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out, but the violence is what most people seem to love, and that's my least favorite part of any show or movie.
Thanks for the fun review!
You are missing out. You should seriously consider watching it. Such good movies.
I think the genre you guys are looking for is Hyper-realism.
Oh damn. There’s a 4th? I hadn’t seen the 3rd. I liked the first two.
Thanks for the review! I think I’ll save my bladder by waiting on the digital release. Seems like a comfort of your own home after an edible experience
Dumb see it in cinema and quit tik tok
nothing you just said is the thoughts of an adult
The movie was beautiful to look at and the fighting was well done, but it wasn't good in terms of plot and character development. I expect fans of these type of mindless action movies to like it but how it got a 95% on rotten tomatoes from critics I don't understand.
Only in action movies can the lead protagonist get away with such bad acting. Just one liners delivered with the talent of an early 2000 AI text to speech voice. No emotion, no depth to the main character at all.
There was no point to the movie, no lesson to be learned. Just three hours of killing people.
The movie was ok I guess, but I was exhausted by all the nonstop fighting. I breathed a sign of relief when he was with Lawrence Fishborne at the subway, but that only took a few minutes then off we went again. BTW, wasn't the radio announcer Lupita?
I personally love the first three and felt there's not much room for a fourth film seeing as how the third was so over the top action goodness. I'm willing to give it a chance but have reservations about the length and creativity of action scenes.
Just here to say I love Lance Reddick!! He deserves better roles. 👍
Unfortunately this will be one of his last film roles considering he passed away recently this month on St. Patrick's Day. 😭 R.I.P Lance Reddick.
I don't care about Side characters when I watch an action film I don't care if it's all action and violence and fighting that's what I want to see so if this movie is almost 3 hours of non-stop fighting I can't wait to go see this I want to watch 3 hours of non-stop fighting I don't care if they say five words the whole movie that's why I go to watch the choreographed fight scenes
How did Rina Sawayama do in the film? I hear from other reviews that she has star quality!
“There is no actina, there is fighting”… but we need to consider they, well most of them, are not fighters… só they’re pretending to be fighters. This is acting.
I enjoyed it...been waiting to type a positive review😂😂
Have only seen Keanu Reeves in *Street Kings* (2008) and *Constantine.* So, "didn't this sh** already happen in the last movie" comment made me think, a🏅for a 😎cool observation of the first three chapters! All that, *and* the good songs that were too long opinion, bonus points!😊
P.S. the gun fight choreography was excellent only outdone by Equilibrium... not even the MATRIX out do Equilibrium when it came to gun fight choreography imo
It was so nice to hear that I am not the only one who felt bored watching this movie... Oh, Lawd! Was it longer than "Beau is afraid"? I guess Beau is afraid of JW4 too. lol
Can you watch this movie if you have not watched the others?
Where did the term Fish Jelly come from ?

I love me some John Wick! Thanks for the review, guys.
I really liked the movie. The entire thing is like a video game but the top down fight scene was direct reference to games like Hotline Miami or I guess the john wick video game LOL.
Thanks for the review guys! I agree it just got boring. Just pure killing and fighting. If that's what you are looking for.. this movie delivers.
one of the best action series of all time right there. These movies are amazing
Loved this; for context love #1, was meh on #2 and walked out of #3. Felt like this movie improved on #2 and #3 by (1) having compelling supporting characters (The Tracker, Donnie Yen, Japanese manager and daughter, etc; (2) a clear villain / stakes; (3) reduced “lore” building secret council dead weight scenes; (4) added much more tension to the action sequences, didn’t feel like people just running at Keanu Reeves to get killed; #3 by comparison felt like a video game / fantasy camp for Reeves; and finally (5) has a definite ending; whereas in #3 Reeves starts and ends the movie in the exact same situation.
I loved it
Too long and too to boring very boring, I agree with that. I was disappointment, but it is my fault as I tend to have high expectations. The Blind hit man was the pearl in this rotten clam. He added some soul to it, but it was not enough. Keep up the good work guys, I enjoy your wacky reviews. :)
Please give a shout out to Scott Adkins (played the fat German gangster) aka the king of direct to video martial arts, maybe I missed a part but seems like you guys were not familiar with him
This movie has so many throwbacks from classic He Man movies from The Warriors and Good Bad and Ugly the dog was amazing owned by a man called No Body another Sergio Leone movie there's no way he's dead because he had three shots shoulder blade skim shot on arm and lower gut shot also Charles Bronson in Sergios Once upon a time in the West didn't kill Henry Fonda only til end which he saved plus the end after credits u see Japanese fathers daughter goes after blindman for revenge you know John Wick will be back
P.S. for anyone who loves action and Donnie Yen, please watch his Hong Kong film from 2021 called RAGING FIRE, blows anything Hollywood is doing out of the water
I didn’t love it. I like it if it’s finally over
its not over
Why they kill main character I wouldn't be surprised if Ethan hunt dies in mission impossible dead reckoning even title of the movie is teasing it
I dislike most of these Jon wicks but this one was actually really great imo, the plot was laid out a lot better so it was much easier to follow along and it had some of the best action scenes I’ve watched ever. Sad you guys didn’t like it as much
Love the first movie, did not like how 2 and 3 got more bloated and ponderous with secret councils, medallions, meetings … walked out of Chapter 3 … am a bit tired of “lore” becoming a selling point for movies … am hoping Chapter 4 returns to simpler story of 1 but have to stay away from spoilers until Saturday night...
@Steven E agree it's simple, prefer that to the previous attempts to "lore" it up, which became forced IMO
Can i choose john Wick background instead of that ridiculous character?
They should have stopped at the first film. Great review!
Honestly, almost an entire movie of fighting doesn't sound that engaging to me.
This series should have ended at Chapter 3. But leave it to Hollywood to beat something to death or make like 8 sequels. Until John Wick fizzles
THE BEST MOVIE REVIEW CHANNEL OF 2023 ❤️
As an Australian, i appreciated the Ned kelly quote at the end of the review. Thanks Nick and Joseph. A 3hr John Wick film....no thanks.
I hope the next one gives us John Wick's backstory as some supernatural force of nature that cannot be killed! This will be more believable than one man being shot, stabbed and constantly beaten up always survives! Man part 1 was great the rest were so boring!
Don't know if it was mentioned. The scenes where the DJ is talking? My earliest memory of that happening in the movies is from THE WARRIORS (showing my age). Lynn Penn played the DJ. Take care!!
F-
This is my type of movie lol I’m here for all of it. If you’re not an action junky don’t see it.
Movie wasss too long & predictable.Dc or marvel should pick up this movie bc they make him a superhero
I feel like you guys have missed a lot of points about John Wick and it’s reasoning for being this long in length, in two major instances.
1. The reason why The Bowery King is in this movie is because he’s also in a war against the high table. He was heavily injured during the assault on his compound by the adjudicator in the third film, and wants a war with them the same as John. Of course he was going to be in this movie. Because he’s gonna be helping John get the assets he needs to help him in the war against the high table.
2. For a 2 hour 49 minute runtime, the movie is supposed to be an action film foremost. 1,2, and 3 gave you all the emotional investment you needed in understanding Johns character and how he feels. Especially the first one. The Raid 2 and Mad Max: Fury Road are both similar in that regard. They both are certified action flicks that don’t require a lot of acting by the actors at hand, and that’s the point. Your not here watching a drama film. Your here to watch a bunch of assassins trying to kill each other in a universe that’s full of them. With bulletproof vests.
Oh shit , you have just destroyed the movie 😂
I didn't like the previous 3 movies so definitely going to pass on this one.
Didn't like the first one?
Yeah your jusg weird
I tried to hold out til the 24th🙄… and I’ve watch all your updated videos… spoil it for me!!🥹
