Ouch. But understandable. The Highlander remake is getting ready to film, which Stahelski is directing.

Saw it. Man, what a feat that must have been to choreograph. It's like Set-Piece: The Movie, and 2 hours and 45 minutes of it. Some pretty amazing kills but it does start to get kind of numbing at a certain point.

No way John Wick would survive a lot of what happens to him in this movie. He takes like 3 40 feet drops to concrete and gets hit by at least 2 cars. All in the same night.

The audience gasp when he falls out of the building after the "video game apartment gunfight" scene.... Probably happened in every theater.

So here's the thing - a thing that the "it's the best one YET!" crowd won't cop to for another year or so... And that is that part 4 was great of course, but also basically crossed the line into parody of itself. There's "over the top", but once you get beyond "over the top" you get into parody. And this had a foot or two over that line. It's still a fun movie, but we are a far cry from the jaw-dropping "skills" of the first one and into full-blown outlandish territory here now.

And there could be examples of why there would be encounters in the 1st 3 movies but there weren't, but a lot of those gun sworays were in remote areas or areas where John Wick was quickly moving through them. What's the excuse here? Where were all the police responses?

Exactly. It was so "cartoon-city-void" that it could feed the fan-theory that the entire John Wick franchise is actually Neo in the rebooted Matrix, but more well designed for his psyche to not break free completely.

I mean the only time the general population existed here was the rotunda massacre and the public was needed there only to create more moving vehicles. Or maybe the club scenes, I guess.

I mean the truth is that without the goodwill of the entire franchise and the pure escapism going for it, it would unanimously be touted as a horrible movie. I liked it, but there is a word there somewhere that actually describes this movie... something akin to that it was exhausting to watch.
