John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)

3/10

Ouf, do you think you could have drawn that out any longer?

Date Watched: 27 May 2023

If they had cut every action scene in half and cut out most of the dialogue it might have been an okay film.

I did enjoy the choreography with the cars at the Arc de Triomph and the Mr. Nobody character, but other than that this was a real slog. A real slog.

Every line of dialogue was a speech. I can suspend a lot of disbelief for a movie in which every second person on the street is a professional assassin and there are no local police, but could we at least have some realistic dialogue? Nobody talks like this in real life. It’s like they were trying hard to have a bunch of lines that people will quote, but it’s just vacuous nonsense. And oh my god all the talking scenes went on waaaay too long.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the first John Wick, but each movie has been a little worse than the one before.

I could have watched two Golden Harvest movies in the time I spent watching this.
