Viewers praise the film's stylish, high-energy action and stunt choreography. [1][2] Some find the plot thin and the acting hammy, but still enjoy it as a fun popcorn movie. [2][3][4] The emotional core driven by the dog's death is noted as a key motivator for the revenge story. [1][5]

This is very much my kind of movie. Straightforward, lots of good action, our hero never waivers from his path and no social or emotional nonsense. Those who have watched the movie might wonder why I claim that there is not emotional nonsense since the entire plot is driven by John Wick’s very emotional response to his wife’s death and the subsequent killing of the dog that he received as a last present from her. …

It's cheesy, formulaic, and hammily acted. It's also stylish, high energy, and generally just a fun popcorn movie. "John Wick" is a retired hitman who gets brought back into the life by a personal attack (no spoilers here, but if you're squeamish about animal cruelty, be warned). Okay, we've heard this story dozens of times. What's different is the world in which this takes place. There's a secret criminal …

The mastery of stunt choreography and world-building make John Wick the new standard of action films. John Wick is a master class on taking every movie trope and delivering an incredibly fresh and innovative franchise that delights avid action fans and casual observers alike. Chad Stahelski and team break free from the now overused shaky cam to hide mediocre acting and push their stars and stunt team to give us some …

John Wick is the definition of a blockbuster action film, with big set pieces and visceral stunt work that will leave audiences gasping. While the story and performances are lacking, the creators make attempts at establishing a greater world around the characters. There are some really creative services and lore that go into the assassin underworld that is simply brilliant. The acting all around is quite lackluster. …

Woof! Keanu Reeves is the John Wick of the title, a grieving one man army who gets tipped over the edge when gangsters kill his dog. Carnage ensues. The paying public do like a good revenge flick, there have been plenty this last couple of decades, and they do go down well. Once the set-up has been staged - Wick grieves at the loss of his loved one - gets some small joy via a pet - only to have that snatched away …

neutral · AI labelView post →Someone will make a John Wick-style movie that is entirely just set pieces where they depict increasingly brutal and elaborate means of killing former ICE agents working as hired muscle or whatever (plot unimportant) and it will make a billion dollars

neutral · AI labelView post →ok I’m watching JOHN WICK, which I’ve never seen largely because katie wouldn’t want to see the dog die and everyone knows the dog dies, but no one told me the movie is *about* the dog jesus
neutral · AI labelView post →Extra funny when you think about how Sinners, which features Michael B. Jordan gunning down Klansmen in broad daylight in slow-mo, is the 10th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time - higher than The Hangover, 300, Logan, John Wick 4, etc....

neutral · AI labelView post →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).
positive · AI labelView post →Anyways my point is that the first John Wick movie kicks fucking ass but the subsequent John Wick sequels are over-long and oftentimes boring but no one wants to say that because we all like Keanu and want him to be happy
neutral · AI labelView post →The director of "John Wick" animated prequel film is Shannon Tindle. He previously directed "Ultraman: Rising" & "Lost Ollie", and created "Kubo and the Two Strings".
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching John Wick for the first time. We're about 15 mins in and I think, "He stole John Wick's car and killed his dog" might be the single greatest line in any film ever and I will not be taking notes on this.

neutral · AI labelView post →Democratic leaders should be coming up with ways to punch Trump in the face. And not just once, but over and over like in John Wick. In this movie, Democrats are John Wick and Trump is the villain who doesn’t make it the closing credits. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/democratic...

neutral · AI labelView post →Director Timo Tjahjanto says he didn’t want ‘NOBODY 2’ to feel like another John Wick movie. “Hutch is only a man. He is like all of us. He’s aging, he’s prone to missteps. The tension lies in the fact that, unlike John Wick, there are people who could overpower him.”
neutral · AI labelView post →A John Wick movie only it’s guys scared his dog with fireworks.
positive · AI labelView post →Just one man & woman's opinion, but the new Mission Impossible is great! My wife & I both loved it. Tom Cruise definitely knows how to deliver an entertaining action packed film! A fitting ending to this franchise...assuming they don't go with prequels like John Wick. ("Ballerina" looks awesome BTW)
neutral · AI labelView post →Just realized the official title of the upcoming movie Ballerina is: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina Which means depending on where the text gets broken up, this movie could be truncated as: John Wick: Ballerina (would watch)
neutral · AI labelView post →"John Wick" style rampage-of-revenge film about a housecat that got dumped on the side of the highway by a negligent former owner coming back for vengeance. Live action. All practical effects. The cat has no dialogue. This is played 100% straight.

It was an honor to get Keanu's very own blessing on my art, and it was later made into the Best Buy steelbook as well.
