  • [1]Moviesandall @MoviesandallTMDB review · Jun 18, 2025 · Rated 8/10

    Ballerina is a culmination of everything that works in the John Wick universe, but also dialed up to new heights. The movie is quite a simple vengeance story at the center which is sadly left unfulfilled but it is how well every other element of the movie is taken that makes this story actually work at the end of the day. The action is the same John Wick action we know and love but with so much more creativity …

  • [2]JPV852 @JPV852TMDB review · Jun 6, 2025 · Rated 7/10

    Entertaining enough spin-off that features great stunts and action sequences one would expect from the franchise and while the story isn't terribly strong (to be fair none of the JW movies had amazing plots), it was a solid time-waster and Ana de Armas was fairly good in the lead. Reeves for his part probably had about 10-minutes of screen time and likely collected a nice paycheck for a day or two of filming. I …

    Fantastic opening sequence, filled with familial tenderness and then high octane action. We've a masterclass of actors gracing is with their presence, and its such a fun ride. The film has just the right amount of banter to put a smile on your face and is able to move at the "Wick Universe" speed and momentum. "Wick" fans will appreciate that the film has an underlying story, one we can all feel. This has been an …

    John Wick is in fact a hugely fucking solid film and one of the very few series where not a single one of the films counts as a disappointment, and how many series can say that (I'm not counting Ballerina, which I have not seen, because it's in the universe but not directly in the series).

    Just saw Ballerina, a movie about an assassin whose special move is kicking people in the balls. She comes of age by kicking someone in the balls. In the film she kicks balls, shoots balls, punches balls, and stabs balls. Which Tchaikovsky ballet did they choose as the soundtrack? Swan Lake.

    Ana de Armas having resting adorable-puppy- longing-for-a-home face serves her Ballerina character well thematically which makes me wonder if the film was written with her in mind or if the casting call was just like "giant eyes that make the viewer want to ask about and then solve your problems"

    BALLERINA’s plot/characters are threadbare but the action is unbelievable. This movie is 2 hrs & I estimate about 80 mins of that is just straight, uncut, late stage John Wick-style level quality action. At one point after an audacious sequence, a guy behind me exclaimed, “THAT IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA.”
