Okay, the poem "John Wick is so tired" and this post has made me very interested in finally dipping my toe in the JW universe BUT would you recommend watching 1&2 first or would it be K00L to just run (sit) headlong into 4?
I found this new Scream sooo baaaad, but I haven't enjoyed the franchise since Scream 2. Agree with you about utter lifelessness of the protag!!!
Look, if you can see it in a theater and are down for nearly 3 hours of nonstop violence...why not just try JW4! You can go back to 1 if you end up liking it, and if not at least you got to see some kicking on the big screen.
+1 on this! The spectacle of the stunt work alone is worth seeing on the big screen.
I thought it was the best of the series; it balanced the satisfying culmination of the narrative, refreshing and innovative stunt work (while also paying homage, as you said) and Stahelski bringing something unique to the genre as a filmmaker (especially challenging after 3 films).
Highlights were definitely Donnie as Cane, and the camera work in the abandoned building. The whole “chase through Paris” chapter was satisfying, and I don’t think I’ll ever see so many men hit by so. many. cars.
