The John Wick series
Watched them all over the course of a weekend - its the same fucking moving over and over and over and over again. The amount of disbelief I needed to suspend got exponentially larger so by the time I got to the last movie I just couldn't take it anymore. There is no real plot or any development of characters, it's just implausible fight scene after implausible fight scene.
I think if I put a few months between each movie I wouldn't have this opinion - on their own the movies can be mindlessly entertaining but all together was too much for me.
I love the first one and would argue it's fairly grounded, it's the sequels that quickly got unhinged.
Dude murders everyone over a dog. So grounded.
I saw this movie in theaters with no expectations, and I’ve seen a lot of action movies in theaters. There was a palpable shift in that moment, a few people audibly gasped, and then we were all on board.
He doesn’t kill anyone that doesn’t have it coming, most of them many times over. He lets the bouncer go, makes peace with Viggo's brother, lets Cassian live, and honestly seems to just want to live in peace after he sends a bunch of souls for judgement. It's like Creasy in Man on Fire; forgiveness is between them and God, it's up to him to arrange the introduction.
