    What started out as a refreshingly straight-and-to-the point tight 90-minute action movie starring Keanu Reeves shooting people has morphed into an expansive world of assassins with a whole bunch of lore and special coins. The latest installment in the franchise is John Wick Chapter 4, clocking in at a wild 3 hours of runtime.
    John Wick Chapter 4 definitely raises some questions. Like how does John keep surviving the impossible? Do the cops really not care about all this public bloodshed at highly recognizable locations? How does John manage to travel internationally as he does? Is he really gone, or are we going to bring him back somehow?
    To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to John Wick Chapter 4!

    • @kevtb874
      @kevtb874 Před 5 měsíci +10

      Not sure why they made him blind when they basically ignored it half the time or made silly, elaborate ways for him to stand a chance.
      His blindness added nothing to the character or much of the action other than making me think 'well ok, I guess I'll just go with it'.
      I think John Wick 3 is still the perfect blend of OTT action, choreography and simple but effective plot. This one went to far. The story was a bit crap and the action was either overlong or just downright ridiculous.
      Not knocking the work that went into the action scenes. They look great and they all have highlights for me. Just didn't flow into a cohesive whole for me like the other movies.
      The runtime is just too much too. These movies lend themselves to being in and out. I can rewatch the others over and over because they are no nonsense. This was bloated next to the others.

      Seems like now John wick is just like a video game and he kills enemies in front of pre-rendered/animated backgrounds. The scene at the roundabout was the most videogame movie scene i've ever seen. The cars just drive in circles completely unaffected by all those killers and cars on the side and shots fired. They don'T get slower, try to get arround them, just just fly by on a predefined path. Like in a videogame where you have to fight enemies and avoid passing cars. It's really a horrible scene, one car crashes and the camera moves and there is no driver in the car. And then there is this pretty cool scene in the building where the camera is on top and follows John Wick. Also very videogame like, but at least not super-super-stupid.

    I love the John Wick movies but the problem with having him survive so many ludicrously certain death injuries (including the staircase scene in this movie alone) is that when he was shot just once at close range, I fully expected him to be totally fine. And even when a grave was shown, I kept expecting the camera to pull back and show John alive, or a character to smirk indicating he wasn't really dead etc. It rather robbed the ending of its emotion for me, cos I had no idea he'd died till the credits

      I'm okay with all of that until the ending of the 3rd movie. That fall should've crippled him at worst. He should've been laid up for 6 months. And then the first 3 movies happen over a period of something like 2 weeks, so surviving each movie on its own is fine to me, but in combination, it's practically impossible. Then 4 comes along and it has the stair sequence. Why not show him getting shot in the head point blank range and have him survive that? Why not chop his head off and he sews it back on his shoulders? I mean, if you're not going to be somewhat realistic, then get really crazy with it. This is also why Nobody is a far better movie than the Wick ones, it's way more realistic.

    you know movies are too long when even Screenwriter Guy is reluctant to add more scenes... at first.
    "Double it! Doubleitdoubleitdoubledoubledoubleit!" sounded so genuine.
    and then the Rule Of Cool. of course, that explains things.

    I would love a pitch meeting for UHF. The zaniest of Weird Al might break Ryan's brain.

    How could Ryan miss having Clancy Brown overseeing the duel and telling them only one can survive, similar to his "There can be only one!" in Highlander?

    You actually managed to make the movie sound more interesting than it was.

    You forgot the part where the church that was really far away for John to barely make there in time for the duel was chosen by John Wick himself for some reason. He just really like that church, time be damned.
