It's definitely not perfect, but I still consider it an action landmark (last time I said that was Mad Max: Fury Road). I want to watch these scenes a hundred times. It has at least four* of my all-time favorite action scenes. On second viewing, I still felt the same flaws, but I didn't care. EDIT: I was itching to go again since opening night. Even with those flaws, I had a BLAST with this movie and will definitely see it at least once more in theaters. For example, instead of getting hit by one car, he gets hit by three cars. The original 'John Wick' boasted a murderers row of talent inhabiting every role, major or minor, from Reeves to Willem Dafoe to Alfie Allen to Adrianne Palicki to John Leguizamo to the late. A few of the issues I had with Parabellum pop up again, like overdoing it sometimes with the damage he takes. And his dog attacks were already done, and better, with Halle Berry in Parabellum. The subplot with the tracker doesn't seem at all consequential. Maybe it's my own fault for setting expectations so high mid-movie, but the second half is more flawed, though still awesome.

Not only was this looking like the best of the series, I started wondering if this would be a landmark action flick. Nhc n John Wick, ngi ta s lin tng ngay n mt st th c c vi c danh Baba Yaga. About an hour into this nearly 3-hour movie, I felt like I experienced enough action amazingness for an entire movie. Numerous times it feels like the VR game Pistol Whip. He was the one you sent to kill the fing Boogeyman. They call him Baba Yaga.Iosef Tarasov: 'The Boogeyman'Viggo Tarasov: Well John wasnt exactly the Boogeyman. So many scenes feel like they're a video game brought to life. A great memorable quote from the John Wick movie on - Viggo Tarasov: That 'fin nobody' is John Wick. One is an overhead shot one-take that I couldn't believe. There are a couple of scenes that are shot in such a creative way that I've never seen before. So many beautiful shots, so many mesmerizing locations for the action. The music is awesome as usual, maybe even a step up. John Wick 4: Baba Yaga, John Wick: Capitolul 4, 4, John Wick. Amazing combinations of weaponry and fighting styles (pistol/sword combo is my fave). With the price on his head ever increasing, John Wick uncovers a path to defeating. So many weapons, styles, chases, vehicles, animals, everything. There is every kind of fighting imaginable. The fights are so fast-paced yet completely clear and easy to follow. Then I watch a John Wick movie and feel so spoiled, while also being baffled at why other action movies can't learn from this. I'm an action junkie and am repeatedly disappointed with action movies and their terrible fight scenes, filled with shaky cam, quick cuts and close-up shots (looking at you Snake Eyes and Mortal Kombat). The Baba Yaga from Russian folklore is, in fact, far weirder than Keanu Reeves master of gun-fu, though some similarities do exist between the two. But for me, this is far and away the best action of the entire series. Now this is nothing new for the John Wick series. There were multiple times I was both tearing up and laughing at how unbelievably amazing the fight scenes are. Iosef! Iosef! Listen! Huh? John will come for you, and you will do nothing because you can do nothing.Half of this review will be me gushing about the action. And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car and kill his f***in' dog. The bodies he buried that day laid the foundation of what we are now. I once saw him kill three men in a bar, with a pencil. John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will. He was the one you sent to kill the f***ing Boogeyman. did he hear a f***ing word I said?Iosef Tarasov: Dad, I can do this! Please!Viggo Tarasov: Iosef! Iosef! Listen! Huh? John will come for you, and you will do nothing because you can do nothing. But before he can earn his freedom, Wick must face off against a new enemy with powerful alliances across the globe and forces that turn old friends into foes. And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car and kill his f***in' dog.Iosef Tarasov: Father, I can make this right.Viggo Tarasov: Oh? How do you plan that?Iosef Tarasov: By finishing what I started.Viggo Tarasov: What the. John Wick uncovers a path to defeating The High Table. He was the one you sent to kill the f***ing Boogeyman.Iosef Tarasov: Oh.Viggo Tarasov: John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will. They call him Baba Yaga.Iosef Tarasov: "The Boogeyman"?Viggo Tarasov: Well John wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. Viggo Tarasov: That "f***in' nobody" is John Wick.
