@@zaqarnage I thought Resurrections was at least a potentially solid epilogue (despite the terrible put together action scenes) but not sure I can call Revolutions other than clumsy and underwhelming Also I'm pretty sure most get by now what the Architect's speech is, the "complexity" is not grasping it's meaning, it's trying to get around the over-indugent dialogue to get it
The roundabout shootout was the best I've ever seen in an action movie. Really good stuff. And yes, the drift scene was really awesome, very convincing.
I remember watching John Wick in theaters and having zero expectations. Hadn’t seen or really cared about Matrix yet. Damn was I excited about that movie, especially the club scene.
The "hot line Miami" scene, for me, may be the single greatest action sequence I've ever seen on film. The visuals were so stunning that it genuinely had my eyes tearing up and jaw firmly dropped. In a series (and even just this single film) of breathtaking action with so many unique and thrilling fights, this really stood above all to me. I would see the film again for this sequence alone, not to mention the rest of the exceptional film
The cool thing is that unlike the previous John wick movies John wick doesn’t single handily carry this film. I honestly feel like the side characters carried the film and they really stood out and we really understood everyone’s motivations.
@@damionmurray8244I know Keanu mentioned hopes of bringing in Denzel's equalizer (kind of makes sense why considering both films released around the same time).
Bro this movie did the action cinematography perfectly. Every shot of this movie could be a photo. It was a such a vibrant movie and the music to go along with the tension was amazing. My favorite scenes was the card scene. The traffic one. And the 3rd person overview shot was my all time favorite scene in awhile.
The overview shot was more like an isometric shot from a video game than third person, so creative and cool. Reminded me of the game midnight fight express
that overhead scene blew my mind. I said to the person next to me who I went to the movies with, this is literally a video game. So awesome. It was like a twin stick shooter put on a movies screen. So good.
Also Jeremy’s mind can think atleast 3 absolute negatives about this movie - 'Redundant, Repetitive and Boring' (But he dare not say fearing fan BS backlash ofcourse!)
Damn, John Wick 4 was way better than I thought. Super long, but never boring. Great characters, visuals, scenes, weapons, combat... I'm not usually a fan of action movies, but this was so well done.
I have no idea how this movie series keeps getting better. How do you make FOUR movies packed with full-blown actions without making them repetitive or redundant?
Now think about the fact that this will roughly be the same set of people who make The Highlander series. Its gonna be SICK, and if the rumours are true then Henry Cavill will be the star.
@@stevengarthune9802 John Wick as a series was clearly never meant to have substance. Talking about it like that would be like trying to talk about the science in Ghost Busters.

It’s amazing how we still have actors like Harrison Ford going at it one last time as Indiana Jones at 80yrs of age, we got Tom Cruise finishing off his final M:I movies at 60yrs of age, and Keanu Reeves going at it once again as John Wick at 58yrs of age. That definitely says something about these Hollywood legends right here.

Well to be honest I woulsnt add Ford into that diacussion, Indy 5 sill be mainly CG action and Ford ia genuenly no longer able to be in any sort of physically demanding movie
I’d love to see a John Wick prequel. A storyline before he met his wife and how he got out the first time. In the original JW they told a story about him doing an impossible task that forced the hand of the high table to release him from gis debts
There is something about the John Wick series just makes it special to me. It's one of those franchise where instead of slowly dying, it ends up slowly rising up to its peak and I love it.
Also Jeremy’s mind can think atleast 3 absolute negatives about this movie - 'Redundant, Repetitive and Boring' (But he dare not say fearing fan BS backlash ofcourse!)
I think these movies are so good because the director was a stunt man and stunt coordinator for most of his career and those guys have to be so prepared. The John Wick movies are so tight and perfect with no real scenes that lag are seem unnecessary and you can tell they were made by people who come extremely prepared and ready to go. Keanu Reeves is also super professional and takes everything he does seriously. I love these movies and I honestly hope they never go away.
Also helps that they have real weapons builders and experts work with them to keep the mechanics with firearms legit as well as safe. No Baldwin incidents here 🤣
The Tokyo scene was somewhat slow in some parts but loved Donnie Yen and Hiroyuki Sanada sword fight was nostalgic. The best part for me was the Paris fight bodies hitting those cars was insane.
@Chuck Buskee The scene where there were a lot of glass case. The enemies purposely took John one at a time. Also the enemies came in pair on that part one after another.
Can we appreciate how special it is that an action series on its fourth movie still manages to deliver on both the action and the film quality? Like, you can debate on which ones are the better movies of the franchise at this point, but they’re all good.
Just saw it, the first 3 movies were kickass. This one....I found it incredibly boring. And usually I'm the last one in my family to get bored, watching a movie. Some fight scenes were wayyy too long
@@ltahoe9257 I disagree, I think the characters were done very well and we really felt more emotion in this movie than the past ones. If this is the last John wick movie then I'm very happy with this ending. Sure some of the fights are slightly long but I think there was only one sequence where it felt too long, but then it picked up right after. This one is tied for the first one as my favorite movies from this franchise.
@@ltahoe9257 I agree, I’ve already seen it twice and it just didn’t do it for me. In my opinion this movie actually felt amazingly redundant, I love a long movie, even a slow burner, but the story didn’t do anything for me and even the final scene was kinda underwhelming for a JW finale.
Saw this just moments ago and I'm so glad Jeremy said "satisfied is the word." Cause on the way home I said to my friend, this movie not only satisfies me in and of itself but as a now complete franchise. I'm so glad I can I saw not just one of the greatest action franchises, but greatest franchises in cinema full stop as it happened. Fucking phenomenal.
I say this even bested the ultimate action classic Die Hard especially the 1st 3 1 is classic 2 is meh 3 is great i dont want 2 count 4 because is edited PG13 crap hahahaha
The fact that each movie is just as good if not better than the previous is def GOAT for cinema in my book. That's hard as hell to do. Hell the Fast and furious franchise doesn't know how to call it quits. I'm glad they decided enough was enough but bowed out like they did. 4 is definitely my favorite in the franchise.
@@jmoriarty8000 I sure did. An hour in I wanted to leave so bad but I couldn’t. Is John Wick a superhero? The first Wick movie was grounded closer to reality. Now the dude absolutely cannot die lol. How on earth can you like this nonsense??
Bill Skarsgård was fire in this movie. Could be a bit deeper and a little less out-drawn action scenes. The Tracker was a cool character too. And Keanu Reeves is always breathtaking.
Bill skarsgård is imo a very very underrated actor and imo he was the best in John wick 4 acting wise.. I only wish he was the guy who John wick had to fight to the death making him a lethal sumnabish.. But it's just a little nitpick. Hope to see him in more movies he's S tier actor
I had a feeling this was going to be either the best one or second best after the first one. Glad I was right Keanu deserves this for everything he's been through and everything he's done positively especially behind closed doors. A quiet humble perfectionist. It's good to see him still around since his Point Break days.
I think having a director who spent years as a stuntman helps these movies a lot, they bring something new to the table every time and more hollywood movies could learn a thing or two from Chad and his team
You have NO idea how happy I am to hear this review from you. I was a little worried they couldn't keep the franchise going at such a high level and it would eventually fall flat, but glad it will not be the case with this one. First movie will always be king for me because it was just the perfect formula for a fantastic revenge action flick. But I am happy that they so far have not gone the way of the Matrix movies and diminish the first great movie by overly bloated sequels.
I was so tired due to long work before I got to the theatre and I thought this was gonna be a bad movie experience but as soon as the movie started and John said "yeah" , I was super excited. That's the magic of a good movie. This movie is a 10/10. It's the best John wick movie to date. There wasn't a single boring moment and all the actors did a great job. I don't know how tom cruise is gonna top this one. The camera work is also a standout. RIP Lance Reddick.
I truly believe this film deserves a best cinematography nomination from the Oscars bc the level of skill on display was stunning and jaw dropping some of the best I have ever seen on film.
I was planning on seeing this movie anyways, but now I have to watch it opening day, if only to see what I presume is one of the last times we'll see Lance Reddick perform on screen (if he was working on other projects as well as this). His passing was an incredible shock to me, and I'm glad to see a lot of people coming together to honor him, even in video games
The John Wick saga is kinda becoming like a second Mission Impossible saga. Both series are unique in their own identity bringing us new ways action movies can become. Both also are becoming increasingly more successful after each release, really consistent between each movies, its kinda crazy. Not to mention both Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves doing their own stunts and being part of the main production. Absolute freaks of nature honestly!
Best action series ever created and I watch them many times a year. Sad that they lost such a good actor last week the concierge will never be forgotten
Best movie I’ve seen in forever. The cinematic experience was so tangible and exciting. Every character is interesting, the cinematography was incredible, and the action was the best of any action movie ever made.
The director and writer really nailed the action and entertainment in these movies. They know it's over the top and lean into it while building some really cool lore and focusing on amazing fight choreography while casting some iconic action stars. These movies just hit all the right notes for me personally. I know some people think it's gone too over the top but it just works for me.
The original writer isn't involved anymore. Derek Kolstad wrote the first 2 by himself and collabed with 2 other people on chapter 3 but he is no longer involved in the 4th one. It makes me wonder how can the studio or whoever get rid of the original creator. I do think it will still be good though but man that's mestup.
This review is FANTASTIC!!! The enthusiasm is absolutely contagious, and the presentation is excellent. More like this please!!! Once again, John Wick doesn’t disappoint.
Action movies like this are what make me appreciate going to the local theatre and seeing it on the big screen. Can't wait to see this in IMAX tomorrow
It's actually insane how these movies just keep getting better and better with every installment. Keep em comin Keanu can keep making these movies and I'm seeing every single one lol
The movies are in order of preference. The first movie created this new "revenge movie" vibe. My two favorite revenge movies would be "Taken" and "Man on fire." John Wick adds more graphic novel vibes. A simple formula with lots of fun
Matrix, Constantine, John Wick, Devil's Advocate, Speed, Point Break. This man has been is so many of my favorite movies he deserves the absolutely best
Just saw it and my god was this worth the wait. Absolutely loved this movie from start to finish. So many amazing set pieces and a compelling story. They somehow topped the knife fight in 3 for me 🤯 you'll know it when you see it, best action scene in the franchise hands down. Already wanna watch it again 😅
I wasn't as impressed with part 3 as I was parts 1&2 but it sounds like part 4 is 🔥but you can only stretch out a storyline so far so maybe it's smart to end on part 5 or it can risk undermining it's own legacy if taken too far so yeah.
"The Blind Swordsman" is a huge theme on its own. I am so happy that John Wick's team put their own twist on it. It was fantastic and I seriously hope they will keep this story going. But im sad thinking Hiroyuki Sanada, who died in John WIck 4, won't be part of the future stories. Sanada is my favorite actor in swords/action asian movies for decades now. Donnie Yen was absolutely fantastic in the movie, tho.
Everyone talks about the action, but the poker scene with the cyber punk music in the background did it for me. The intensity & vibe created in that scene was INCREDIBLE.
The JW films single-handedly got me into action films, and made me pay attention to things like fight choreography and editing. _Parabellum_ also ended up in my top 5 of 2019, and I've dressed up as John Wick twice for Halloween (complete with bloody pencil, "wedding ring", and facial hair comprised of a fucktonne of eyeliner since I'm unable to naturally grow a beard). You're the only YT film critic I actually trust, and seeing you act like a giddy fanboy is always great. I was looking forward to this anyway, but your endorsement made me even more excited for it. Thank you as always. :)
Just watched this today, gotta admit this is the best movie out of the 4, also the dog kept me on the edge of my seat I just don't want it to get hurt or killed
It was so satisfactory the monent when John was ''one dog was enough!'', and mr. nobody was ''oh shit, I lost 40 millions, there is no way I gonna kill this guy anymore''.

Hollywood does not know what to do with Donnie Yen. He is amazing and probably one of the last great martial artists to be on screen, with Jackie Chan and Jet Li sidelined.
Loved it! Top Gun and John Wick were so much fun to see in IMAX, and both audience experiences were amazing too. Thanks to Keanu Reeves and the scores of people who made these films for giving us fun and quality films! Also thanks Jeremy for the great review, keep up the good work!
John Wick is one of my favourite franchises. Top 3 easy. John Wick 2 is the only movie I’ve ever seen in theatres where my face hurt from smiling. I am beyond excited about chapter 4. Ranking from favourite to still amazing, but not my favourite I would have to say 2, 1, 3. I love them all! Great video Jeremy!
@@Chillllllllllllllllllllllll My least favourite one is three, as much as I love John Wick movies, I did not enjoyed 3 that much. I do enjoyed the Halley Barrey scenes, though. She kicked ass with the dogs as usual.
Same, I just did it before going into this movie a few hours ago. Totally incredible experience, just watching these movies with blank knowldge about it save from all the memes in a straight shot. This finale felt more satisfying that way I feel
I saw it last night at the same theater with JJ! The crowd was literally clapping during some scenes and sequences! It was amazing and you need to see it in Imax for all its glory!
This series is the spiritual successor to Beson's work in movies such as Leon, the Taxi series, the Transporter franchise... It's about time we got some fun movies that aren't superhero schlock back in cinemas.
Also in terms of the never ending choice of firearms and trigger happy action, Wick series actually reminds of the classic and now lesser known - 'Death wish' series with Charles Bronson. 🍷
@@varunemani I'm fairly certain those movies were on TV when I was a little kid. The last one, 5, came out around that time too. But I can't say I was much of a Bronson fan so I don't really recall them. But you do make me serious now.
Just watched it in cinema. I am just now realizing it was 2 hours 45 minutes. It didnt feel like that at all. When the movie was over I was there wishing it went longer. Thats how you know a movie is GREAT. Best of the quadrilogy imo
I saw this at an advanced IMAX screening and I agree it was awesometacular. Wick movies keep increasing the bar for action movies imo, and each instalment is a great addition where I don't think any are overwhelmingly better than the other. Can't wait to hear your thoughts in a spoiler talk review!
This is gonna be in the top 10 best movies of 2023 list, without a doubt. I have something to confess, I have never seen a John Wick movie. It's time to get into them. Gonna start tonight.
@@the5minsum442 your opinion will always remain wrong no matter how much you believe in it. The concensus of hundreds of thousands is that part 1 was the best. Followed by part 4. Then part 2. And worst of all 4 was part 3. It lacked story. It lacked dialog. It lacked character development. It had nothing but action sequences, just like the latest black adam movie. All things that make a movie whole were missing
@@RaoulRamsaranthe general consensus that I’ve seen is that 3 was amazing just not as good as the first two so by your logic you saying part 3 was crap is factually wrong as well dumbass plus this is just my opinion I don’t have to be factually correct you’re definitely one of those zombies on the internet that let’s the majority opinion dictate what you like😂
Just got back watching this, and it's as what Jeremy Jahns said...this movie is awesometacular. The first act to the third act is so consistently great. The whole sequence of the third act just blew my mind especially that "Hotline Miami" scene and that masterfully done stair scene. If you can, go watch this in theatres. This movie is well worth your money.
Excited to hear the positive response. So excited to check this out. It's amazing they kept it entertaining for 4 parts and now there's spin off movie and Continental show coming. There's going to be a break apparently after these projects, maybe for the better. If the makers don't feel like it, no reason to make another.
Man I’m watching John wick 4 right now at the house because I was wondering why I wasn’t as high on this movie as everyone else was because I loved the first 3 but this one wasn’t hitting right so I’ve come to the conclusion I should’ve smoked AFTER or during like I am now versus before… This Shit is amazing, I also realized I didn’t give the video a like when I initially watched it… great job Jeremy, achieve something great guys.
Cane is so op they even have to nerf him, he can go toe to toe with john wick while being blind, thats a big flex right there, he can fight john wick eyes closed
The way John Wick has kept a far more consistent level of quality than The Matrix films... is it safe to say Wick is now Keanu's true gold franchise?

I say this even bested the ultimate action classic Die Hard especially the 1st 3 1 is classic 2 is meh 3 is great i dont want 2 count 4 because is edited PG13 crap hahahaha
"Fucking phenomenal" is the only way I can explain the movie
The fact that each movie is just as good if not better than the previous is def GOAT for cinema in my book. That's hard as hell to do. Hell the Fast and furious franchise doesn't know how to call it quits. I'm glad they decided enough was enough but bowed out like they did. 4 is definitely my favorite in the franchise.
Four great films in a row is seriously impressive.
GOAT as far as I'm concerned.
Those kind of franchises tend to be the most memorable. Mission Impossible, Harry Potter... Hit after hit.
This may end up being some of my favorite action movies ever. Amazing seeing the action crap we've been getting over the years
Sweet pfp dude!
This may end up being the only franchise I’ve seen each entry in the theater as they are released.
@@SumDumGy how old are you
This was a masterpiece of action fighting movie. A very satisfying ending to John Wicks story.
This is why people gotta get hyped for Highlander!! The same studio/director and its rumoured Henry Cavill will play the role. Its gonna be insane!
Masterpiece huh? Looked like the same BS fighting we’ve seen before.
@@paulrevere1479 Did you even watch the movie.
@@jmoriarty8000 I sure did. An hour in I wanted to leave so bad but I couldn’t. Is John Wick a superhero? The first Wick movie was grounded closer to reality. Now the dude absolutely cannot die lol. How on earth can you like this nonsense??
Too over the top, exaggerated and long.
Bill Skarsgård was fire in this movie. Could be a bit deeper and a little less out-drawn action scenes. The Tracker was a cool character too. And Keanu Reeves is always breathtaking.
Bill skarsgård is imo a very very underrated actor and imo he was the best in John wick 4 acting wise.. I only wish he was the guy who John wick had to fight to the death making him a lethal sumnabish.. But it's just a little nitpick. Hope to see him in more movies he's S tier actor
I had no idea this movie was almost 3 hours long. I am beyond hyped rn
That is so good.
Longer than The Raid 2.
Ayo, when he said the run time, idk how my grin got bigger than it was. Like, hyped for this one! Keanu, you beautiful fucking treasure.
Longer than Raid 2 and not a patch on it. It was rubbish.
JW-3 seemed to get a bit stale, out of energy towards the end. 4 sounds like the revamped the tone. 2H45M seems a bit long... 🎬
I had a feeling this was going to be either the best one or second best after the first one. Glad I was right Keanu deserves this for everything he's been through and everything he's done positively especially behind closed doors. A quiet humble perfectionist. It's good to see him still around since his Point Break days.
Chapter 3 is definitely the best one so far, I don’t know if 4 can beat it
@@GeorgeOfGeorge every reviewer i like seems to be saying it tops it. can’t wait to find out for myself
I think having a director who spent years as a stuntman helps these movies a lot, they bring something new to the table every time and more hollywood movies could learn a thing or two from Chad and his team
The way he was thinking inside his head trying to find something negative to say but couldn't was totally epic!!! 😂
You have NO idea how happy I am to hear this review from you. I was a little worried they couldn't keep the franchise going at such a high level and it would eventually fall flat, but glad it will not be the case with this one. First movie will always be king for me because it was just the perfect formula for a fantastic revenge action flick. But I am happy that they so far have not gone the way of the Matrix movies and diminish the first great movie by overly bloated sequels.
I was so tired due to long work before I got to the theatre and I thought this was gonna be a bad movie experience but as soon as the movie started and John said "yeah" , I was super excited. That's the magic of a good movie. This movie is a 10/10. It's the best John wick movie to date. There wasn't a single boring moment and all the actors did a great job. I don't know how tom cruise is gonna top this one. The camera work is also a standout.
RIP Lance Reddick.
I truly believe this film deserves a best cinematography nomination from the Oscars bc the level of skill on display was stunning and jaw dropping some of the best I have ever seen on film.
I was planning on seeing this movie anyways, but now I have to watch it opening day, if only to see what I presume is one of the last times we'll see Lance Reddick perform on screen (if he was working on other projects as well as this). His passing was an incredible shock to me, and I'm glad to see a lot of people coming together to honor him, even in video games
Def go see it
I got to a pre-release screening, it was totally worth it. The photography is amazing.
On Imdb there's a few movies and a show coming next year with him in it.
Def go see it. They did him justice in the film.
His death in the movie shocked me
The John Wick saga is kinda becoming like a second Mission Impossible saga. Both series are unique in their own identity bringing us new ways action movies can become. Both also are becoming increasingly more successful after each release, really consistent between each movies, its kinda crazy. Not to mention both Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves doing their own stunts and being part of the main production. Absolute freaks of nature honestly!
@Morei - re: "Absolute freaks of nature honestly!" Are you not "honest" all the time in daily life? Or only when using the meaningless word.
Mission Impossible is kinda spotty though. Some of them don't work well. Ghost Protocol was probably the best.
@@robwalsh9843 I think most of mission impossible movies have been consistent though I liked the last film.and I'm excited for next movie
Best action series ever created and I watch them many times a year. Sad that they lost such a good actor last week the concierge will never be forgotten
Best movie I’ve seen in forever. The cinematic experience was so tangible and exciting. Every character is interesting, the cinematography was incredible, and the action was the best of any action movie ever made.
The director and writer really nailed the action and entertainment in these movies. They know it's over the top and lean into it while building some really cool lore and focusing on amazing fight choreography while casting some iconic action stars. These movies just hit all the right notes for me personally. I know some people think it's gone too over the top but it just works for me.
The original writer isn't involved anymore. Derek Kolstad wrote the first 2 by himself and collabed with 2 other people on chapter 3 but he is no longer involved in the 4th one. It makes me wonder how can the studio or whoever get rid of the original creator. I do think it will still be good though but man that's mestup.
@@nicholasharris5480 the first one is the best one
Over the table? That's why it's so fun
This review is FANTASTIC!!! The enthusiasm is absolutely contagious, and the presentation is excellent. More like this please!!! Once again, John Wick doesn’t disappoint.
Oh God....
Is this now a copypasta? 💀
That scene should forever be known as the "Hotline Miami" Scene. that shit was fucking crazy
Action movies like this are what make me appreciate going to the local theatre and seeing it on the big screen. Can't wait to see this in IMAX tomorrow
It's actually insane how these movies just keep getting better and better with every installment. Keep em comin Keanu can keep making these movies and I'm seeing every single one lol
Are they though? I still enjoy the first film most.
@Tim Walden dude the action gets better each movie the 4th one should be the best one yet
i won’t say they get better but i like each one just about the same
like if any of them were on the tv i’d watch till the end
The movies are in order of preference. The first movie created this new "revenge movie" vibe. My two favorite revenge movies would be "Taken" and "Man on fire." John Wick adds more graphic novel vibes. A simple formula with lots of fun
Third one was horrible in my opinion, story was lacking
You and Chris Stuckman are my go to for movie reviews keep up the great work!
Nostalgia Critic/Doug walker should be added to your list
They are the only 2 you need!
Same, love them both. I’ve seen great movies because of them.
Matrix, Constantine, John Wick, Devil's Advocate, Speed, Point Break. This man has been is so many of my favorite movies he deserves the absolutely best
Just saw it and my god was this worth the wait. Absolutely loved this movie from start to finish. So many amazing set pieces and a compelling story. They somehow topped the knife fight in 3 for me 🤯 you'll know it when you see it, best action scene in the franchise hands down. Already wanna watch it again 😅
Oh man...the street scene was nuts... and the hotel scene. The movie was just the bomb💥👍🏾
@@thaimperial97 I went to go see it today with my dad and my brother and hell yeah it was!
So cool that Jeremy got Keanu Reeves to do this review for him.
I really hope John Wick can keep its streak. Few franchises that can produce consistently great entries
I wasn't as impressed with part 3 as I was parts 1&2 but it sounds like part 4 is 🔥but you can only stretch out a storyline so far so maybe it's smart to end on part 5 or it can risk undermining it's own legacy if taken too far so yeah.
"The Blind Swordsman" is a huge theme on its own. I am so happy that John Wick's team put their own twist on it. It was fantastic and I seriously hope they will keep this story going. But im sad thinking Hiroyuki Sanada, who died in John WIck 4, won't be part of the future stories. Sanada is my favorite actor in swords/action asian movies for decades now. Donnie Yen was absolutely fantastic in the movie, tho.
Everyone talks about the action, but the poker scene with the cyber punk music in the background did it for me. The intensity & vibe created in that scene was INCREDIBLE.
So pleased to hear such a glowing review from you! Definitely more excited to check this out now, which was already high on my watchlist for 2023.
The third one was pretty shit. I'm hopeful for this one.
The JW films single-handedly got me into action films, and made me pay attention to things like fight choreography and editing. _Parabellum_ also ended up in my top 5 of 2019, and I've dressed up as John Wick twice for Halloween (complete with bloody pencil, "wedding ring", and facial hair comprised of a fucktonne of eyeliner since I'm unable to naturally grow a beard).
You're the only YT film critic I actually trust, and seeing you act like a giddy fanboy is always great. I was looking forward to this anyway, but your endorsement made me even more excited for it. Thank you as always. :)
Hallowe’en outfit sounds awesome! 👏 for attention to detail
@@c1audius Thank you! I like putting in little details when it comes to fancy dress.
Ahhh! So you get the passion! So refreshing. 😎🔥🙃
That sequence shot from above... Thats the cherry on the cake.
I think the roundabout scene was much cooler. Very cool.
RIP Lance Reddick.
At least I can know that one of his final works is definitely worth seeing.
John Wick series is what Matrix series couldn't be. Incredible!
He killed a man with a ✏️. A fking✏️ Still the coldest line in the series
Just watched this today, gotta admit this is the best movie out of the 4, also the dog kept me on the edge of my seat I just don't want it to get hurt or killed
It was so satisfactory the monent when John was ''one dog was enough!'', and mr. nobody was ''oh shit, I lost 40 millions, there is no way I gonna kill this guy anymore''.
It sucked you we're high as hell no really
They never disappoint. I absolutely LOVE this movie!! 😁 It has now become my favorite of the four.
Hello, Reanna. How are you doing today?
This, Dune part 2, Oppenheimer, and Mission Impossible are going to be the best movies coming this year. Calling it now.
Dune part 2 is this year? Damn time moves fast

Also The Flash? Lol no.
And Expendables 4, Hunger Games, Equalizer 3, Ghostbusters Afterlife 2 isn't coming out this year.
@@UnicornpirateLMAO boring dune really? your clueless kid.. oppenhiemer ? really? gonna flop like dunkirk did, clueless kid.. and yes indiana jones 5 looks good, you sound like a typical clueless movie snob..and Expendables 4, Hunger Games, Equalizer 3, Ghostbusters Afterlife 2 IS coming out this year.. your clueless kid.. and the flash looks good, micheal keaton coming back as batman is awesome..your clueless kid, and the last dune was boring..and oppenhiemer is gonna flop too lol..stop assuming things clueless movie snob
Hollywood does not know what to do with Donnie Yen. He is amazing and probably one of the last great martial artists to be on screen, with Jackie Chan and Jet Li sidelined.
Star Wars used him very well in Rogue One
He had a good scene in a Highlander film too.
Loved it! Top Gun and John Wick were so much fun to see in IMAX, and both audience experiences were amazing too. Thanks to Keanu Reeves and the scores of people who made these films for giving us fun and quality films! Also thanks Jeremy for the great review, keep up the good work!
Saw it tonight, loved it. The audience was laughing at times, but always along with the film.
Keanu did a fantastic job both in John Wick Chapter Four, and in this review of his own work.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 that was hilarious 😂😂😂
the fucking hotline miami fight sequence take blew me away
John Wick is one of my favourite franchises. Top 3 easy. John Wick 2 is the only movie I’ve ever seen in theatres where my face hurt from smiling. I am beyond excited about chapter 4. Ranking from favourite to still amazing, but not my favourite I would have to say 2, 1, 3. I love them all! Great video Jeremy!
It's amazing to see Keanu Reeves reviewing his own movie!
For those might not know, a John Wick spin off out this year called Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas
Confession…. I’ve never seen a John Wick film. But hearing Jeremy talk about them so highly, I think I’m gonna binge watch them this weekend!
Nice. They are all great films, imo 2 is my least favorite but they are all really good.
@@Chillllllllllllllllllllllll My least favourite one is three, as much as I love John Wick movies, I did not enjoyed 3 that much. I do enjoyed the Halley Barrey scenes, though. She kicked ass with the dogs as usual.
Same, I just did it before going into this movie a few hours ago. Totally incredible experience, just watching these movies with blank knowldge about it save from all the memes in a straight shot. This finale felt more satisfying that way I feel
@@rhetiq9989 bruh I still have 3 days till it releases here
Very worthwhile franchise.
I saw it last night at the same theater with JJ! The crowd was literally clapping during some scenes and sequences! It was amazing and you need to see it in Imax for all its glory!
That ending was very Cowboy Beebop.
Keanu is brilliant in all the films, not as an actor (because he isn't a great actor) but through his actions and the hard work he puts in pays off.
This is called a back hand compliment.
@@MrBon3sz well not really because it's quite clear of given him praise, backhanded compliments are usually a little more up to interpretation
so he’s a good actor
This series is the spiritual successor to Beson's work in movies such as Leon, the Taxi series, the Transporter franchise... It's about time we got some fun movies that aren't superhero schlock back in cinemas.
Also in terms of the never ending choice of firearms and trigger happy action, Wick series actually reminds of the classic and now lesser known - 'Death wish' series with Charles Bronson. 🍷
@@varunemani I'm fairly certain those movies were on TV when I was a little kid. The last one, 5, came out around that time too. But I can't say I was much of a Bronson fan so I don't really recall them. But you do make me serious now.
Pretty sure that JW1 even had an homage scene to Leon. But Taxi is comedy though and had more emphasis on the car chases.
@@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom I still remember quite a lot of action in Taxi.
Just watched it in cinema. I am just now realizing it was 2 hours 45 minutes. It didnt feel like that at all. When the movie was over I was there wishing it went longer. Thats how you know a movie is GREAT. Best of the quadrilogy imo
I’ve never been more excited for a movie. Great to hear it’s great
So far all the reviews have been great, I too was worried
Update: It was great
This is like john Wick inception with jeremy being the reviewer/starring actor. Man never sleeps
Keanu Reeves has cemented is place in movie history as a true legend.
“Let me slip into it like a warm bath” that slide off the screen hilarious 😂😂😂
Nice to hear! Keanu, Tom Cruise and James Bond character are keeping the action movies very much alive.
The last bond movie was crap it's gone woke
@@JackBlue-hq3eb did we watch the same film?
@@velk2897 if you think it was good then you probably watched one with Pierce Brosnan
I saw this at an advanced IMAX screening and I agree it was awesometacular. Wick movies keep increasing the bar for action movies imo, and each instalment is a great addition where I don't think any are overwhelmingly better than the other.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts in a spoiler talk review!
Please tell me there’s a ‘nightclub’ esque scene similar to JW2
@@sammartin6528 there's a clip in the trailer that looks like a rave...
The photography in this movie is amazing
1:08 THIS AGED LIKE FINE WINE, BLASPHEMOUS 2 JUST GOT ANNOUNCED
Thank God for Jeremy. I beleive you're one of the few who really understands what John Wick means to the fans
This is gonna be in the top 10 best movies of 2023 list, without a doubt.
I have something to confess, I have never seen a John Wick movie. It's time to get into them. Gonna start tonight.
Great Plan 👍
I loved the subtle homages to the first 3 movies!!
Saw this yesterday. Kept my interest the entire runtime. John Wick does not disappoint
Every time I think “there’s no way they can keep making these movies consistently amazing” and now they’ve done it a 4th time
They didn't. Part 3 was crap. As per 300k ratings
@@RaoulRamsaran nah 3 was just as amazing as the other 2 out the crack pipe down dawg
@@the5minsum442 your opinion will always remain wrong no matter how much you believe in it. The concensus of hundreds of thousands is that part 1 was the best. Followed by part 4. Then part 2. And worst of all 4 was part 3. It lacked story. It lacked dialog. It lacked character development. It had nothing but action sequences, just like the latest black adam movie. All things that make a movie whole were missing
@@RaoulRamsaranthe general consensus that I’ve seen is that 3 was amazing just not as good as the first two so by your logic you saying part 3 was crap is factually wrong as well dumbass plus this is just my opinion I don’t have to be factually correct you’re definitely one of those zombies on the internet that let’s the majority opinion dictate what you like😂
@@RaoulRamsaran consensus doesn't make an opinion wrong. It's an opinion after all
Rip Lance Riddick the actor
I loved this movie. The action was incredible at times. Bravo.
Just got back watching this, and it's as what Jeremy Jahns said...this movie is awesometacular. The first act to the third act is so consistently great. The whole sequence of the third act just blew my mind especially that "Hotline Miami" scene and that masterfully done stair scene.
If you can, go watch this in theatres. This movie is well worth your money.
Not surprised to hear it’s great, the John Wick movies never disappoint
You’re the best at delivering us your pure opinion on movies. Your channel is Very refreshing in a world ran by sponsors 💪🏽
The ONLY negative I can think of is never seeing Aurelio or his car again other than that PERFECT
Missed opportunity for a “You’re Breathtaking” pun
Excited to hear the positive response. So excited to check this out. It's amazing they kept it entertaining for 4 parts and now there's spin off movie and Continental show coming. There's going to be a break apparently after these projects, maybe for the better. If the makers don't feel like it, no reason to make another.
"As for the negatives....." that was amazing! Well done Jeremy! Definitely worth a sub for that one!
Man I’m watching John wick 4 right now at the house because I was wondering why I wasn’t as high on this movie as everyone else was because I loved the first 3 but this one wasn’t hitting right so I’ve come to the conclusion I should’ve smoked AFTER or during like I am now versus before… This Shit is amazing, I also realized I didn’t give the video a like when I initially watched it… great job Jeremy, achieve something great guys.
Cane is so op they even have to nerf him, he can go toe to toe with john wick while being blind, thats a big flex right there, he can fight john wick eyes closed
RIP Lance - Commander Zavala
The fact that its still going so strong is seriously impressive and really shows that the people working on these movies actually give a shit
