>scene set in Paris>Paris isn't a shithole
>>185456119Look at the artwork underneath the Eiffel tower. Look who payed for it.
>>185456119 The Bubba Yeyga needs to find the ancient tablet of the Koon Coon because the Secret Hashashins who kidnapped his brother Sun Tzu's daughter in law have rules and consequences and he doublecrossed them at Go night at the local YMCA, to do this he must employ the services of the Black Templar the infamous Parisian techno DJ and information broker, who is bound to the Winged Hussar code of honor for when he was in Poland on the orders of the Dan Brown Society, Ltd. his life got saved by the Antipope Wojtyla the 3rd, for which he must repay six hundred and sixty six Dragon Kill Coins, which can only be obtained by killing the Grand Dragon of the KKK every Saturday from 16:00 to 22:30, luckily the Bubba Yayga has been diligent and carries six hundred and sixty five Coins in his Hashashin Wallet, the secret of which has been taught to him by Ali Akbar when he was imprisoned by the Atlantean Collective in Antarctica. Will they prevail against the Interdimensional Chessmasters and get the final coin to complete his secret goal and recapture his dead wife from the underground hybernation catacombs of Doctor Phibes? Tune in and find out in John Wick 32: The Penultimate Degree.
Best movie of 2023.If you disagree post the better movie.
>>185456119Yeah it seemed unrealistic that there wasn’t piles of feces and hordes of migrants sleeping on the street. The whole radio station bit confused me as well! When they originally put a contract on Wick in the previous movies, it showed all the assassins getting an alert on their phones, which is the obvious and most efficient way for this to work, but in JW4 they went for this radio station that I guess was supposed to be broadcasting poorly coded marching orders? But it made no sense at all. They didn’t even make a point to show the assassins listening to it! They just absorbed the information through osmosis I guess? The only reason I can think of for this choice is so they can squeeze in another proud black woman moment. It was fucking stupid.
>series set in New York>there aren't any homeless men shitting in the street
>>185456479>piles of feces and hordes of migrantsThis and armed soldiers patrolling the streets, you'd think all the gunfire in the middle of paris and car crashes would get the attention of law enforcement but nope, not even a police siren.
>>185456119Sublominal sex
>>185456304This will be so much better.
>>185456718No it won’t lmao
>>185456304Worth it for the Hotline Miami riff alone. Mirror-placement was a great addition.I think the double-length shoot (this was meant to be two movies, right?) took it's toll on Keanu though. He notably had that "I just did an all-nighter" voice in a number of scenes. He's a real soldier, but let the 60 year old man sleep occasionally and he'll easily go another ten in Action Star-mode.
>>185456119>massive shootouts out in the public>police nowhere in sight
>>185456119>Boston movie>for some reason there aren’t crack tents set up along every main street with homeless shooting up and needles everywhere Completely kills my immersion.
>>185458761dude really... don't you remember the first movie?
>>185458761>Public radio announcement to kill a man for money>Macron doesn't care
Anyone else thinks John Wick takes place in the Matrix universe which would explain the civilians acting like literal npc's and no police because it's all just a video game, or is it just me?
>>185458817You mean Jimmy?
>>185458817You mean when a shootout happens inside the Red Circle, everyone panics and runs away and you can hear sirens in the background as John rushes out of the club?
Don't think, just consume.
>>185456119Magical realism
>>185458920nta but the first film is the only one that was somewhat realistic with the pedestrians noticing and the cop scene, the rest of the films are video games
>>185458817>>185458884...yeah
>>185458978...so where's the police when all the other shit in JW2, JW3 and JW4 happened?
>>185458872I've never thought that but you make a compelling argument.
>>185456119Needed more shootings and stair scenes, but not badI think the second movie is my favorite
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnaB-TWQcYwThe subway silenced guns in a crowd of npcs scene was were they jumped the shark, prove me wrong.
>>185456119Was unironically a 8.5/10. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional

>>185459120and he gets away with it ms cookiez loved it
>>185459058the part where it turned into hotline miami was pretty cool tho
>>185459098Absolute garbage laughable acting and shit repetitive action.>>185457535Of course Mission Impossible will be miles better. First John Wick was a decent movie. This shit was some anime rip off Reddit fest.
>>185459058>Needed more shootingsThat movie was a 3 hours long shooting scene, why would anyone ask for more

>>185456304Guardians 3
what was the point of this guy? why did they keep cutting to him in the end? he wasnt even in the same studio building when they shot it.
>>185460312Setting him up as a potential new protag for a spin-off probably.
>>185456479They just wanted to homage The Warriors man, it's not that complex.
>>185460312Literally beating you over the head that he's the next protagonist.
4 was genuinely fucking horrible. 30-50 minutes in and we've watching literally nothing but a bunch of dumb magical chinks and niggers talk and have problems nobody gives a fuck about. the cringe intro and the general level pretension had me saying "johnfinity wickwar" because it seriously feels like an endgame-level self-suck by the producers about a 4 movie action character with only 1.5 good movies. wick also had like 3 lines from what i watched and they were all "yeah..."didn't even get an hour and a half in. THREE. PLUS. FUCKING. HOURS. that fucking niggered out DnD movie was better than this shit and that was a 4/10 at best
>>185460377you could cut his scenes entirely and not miss anything
>>185460410at least this was the last so at least it wont get as bad as capeshit fatigue
>>185456119>>Paris isn't a shitholeIt was so much of a shithole that a fullblown war taking place on its streets didn't reven register as out of the ordinary for its citizens.
>>185460041They were all assassins themselves.
>>185456119Could John Wick defeat Horatio from CSI Miami?
>>185456119Fakes part of the whole series, no Islamic graffiti all over the place, no garbage getting blown down the street>a true break from the realism of John Wick
I went to Paris last year and it was VASTLY cleaner with VASTLY fewer homeless people than here in Toronto
>>185458761>massive shootouts out in the public>police nowhere in sightthat's literally Paris though.
what was he doing in the desert at the start and who was that arab he killed, some table guy?why did he even go to osaka other than to give the excuse to have le epic ninja samurai action?what even is his motivation anymore? he wants out or is it still revenge? ending was pretty dissapointing and leaves all those threads hanging for spinoffs...
>>185460978homeless people are swept up and if they really want to they can get massive gibs.most of the homeless people in Yurop in general and in France in particular are alcoholic nutjobs who actively refuse to be helped.
>>185460582Bullshit. If every single person dancing in that club was an assassin they would've joined in on the fight themselves. Instead they just stood their like N64 NPCs.
>>185460457>at least this was the lastIt isn't. They already said they greenlit John Wick 5 before they even finished 4. They also have the prequel "Ballerina" shit coming out with Keanu as well. But I did hear them say that they're going to take a break for a while before John Wick 5, which is why they have the whole cheesy "is he dead cliff hanger" he's obviously not dead.
>>185461231That's true for American homeless too.They tend to be schizos off their meds.
>>185461374they get less gibs though.
>>185458872This would have been cool if the last movie ended like that revealing it's the Matrix. Unfortunately this doesn't work anymore, because that fucking abomination of a Matrix movie came out recently and ruined the series.
>>185461514I haven't seen it and don't plan to, Matrix ended with Revolutions. Also only one of the brothers worked on it so it's just a shitty fanfiction at this point, glad it flopped.
>>185461248They're assassins on drugs.
>>185460410the Osaka daughter and her Japanese cinema "acting" ruined the whole movie for me
>>185461680The only way they can fix her is by having her fight fully nude in a bath house in the next movie.
>>185461632You're retarded.
>>185462261You're literally in streams of tears over an action film not being realistic enough for you lol. An action film that outright tells you it's a Western Wuxia film.
>>185462327A western wuxia LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL>It's on the radio bro
>>185462366I accept your concession, little baby.
>>185459034I imagine it's like the how in Toyoko Drift, the police don't bother chasing street racers who go over 150 mph since they can't catch them in their patrol cars.Take the payoff from the international society of assassins who are blowing up building in the middle of NYC with no repressions and don't say any mind to the homeless people walking around with AK 47s. Keep your head down and dream about your pension.
>>185462379I'm not the anon you were talking to. I'm just laughing at your idiocy lol.
>>185462468Keep crying little baby.
>>185456119I feel bad for the people that romanticize Europe based from what they see in the movie. Most of it is indeed a shithole.I watched Ronin recently and was surprised that they actually showed some of the shittier parts of Paris.
>>185461217>what was he doing in the desert at the start and who was that arab he killed, some table guy?Some vaguely named "The Elder" who was recast from JW3 that comes out out of nowhere. John thinks that "The Elder" can absolve him and get rid the bounty. "The Elder" tell him to go fuck himself and John kills him sparking off The Table being even more pissed at John Wick>why did he even go to osaka other than to give the excuse to have le epic ninja samurai action?Hiding out in one of the Continentals since their are no fighting in them, might have been a hide in the last place you'd except to look but everyone knew the John and the Japanese guy were besties so that didn't do shit. Thought the samurai bow stuff was cool and they need to set up a spinoff for the daugther>what even is his motivation anymore? he wants out or is it still revengeJohn "the wickeman" WIck just wants to be left alone or be at peace as he keeps calling it. The time frame from JW1 to JW4 seems to be only a few weeks at best. The guy is still morning the death of his wife and the dog that was a gift from his dead wife, that practically what her reincarnation.
>>185463170"From Paris with love" that movie really shows paris as shithole
>>185456304john wick 3 and 4 are basically the same soulless coureographed fuck you im not looking up how to spell it with no tension or emotion like the fucking lightsaber duels in the prequels, its boring
>Film set in france that french song comes, you know the one
>>185464412Action for action's sake is actually based and redpilled. Imagine Jackie Chan wasting 90 minutes on dialogue to justify a 3 minute fight scene. It would be retarded.>>185464439La Vie En Rose?
>>185456119The 2nd movie was the peak of the series
>>185464463Action for action's sake with 2 hours of sub-par action. Kino.
>>185456119https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMRHqr70Soc
>>185464729The action was great for the most part though. There was a few clunky bits of "man waiting for his turn to throw punch" where Keanu is clearly slowing down due to age and they're having to accomodate, but for the most part it was great.
>>185464463jackie chan actually has tension during action scenes, they're always chaotic and feel improvised he's also usually getting fucked up throughout it stop being retarded
>>185464866>and feel improvisedThis is maybe the furthest thing from the truth you could've possibly said. They feel like impeccably rehearsed Chinese Opera, especially in his earlier years. Jackie himself will tell you that.
It's always funny when ignorant Americans finally realize that Paris is a shit hole.It always was. Ever since the Middle Ages.>Year round, the streets smelled strongly of unwashed persons, animals, and human and animal waste products. Chamber pots of urine were routinely emptied out of windows onto the street. Along with fears of an uprising of the turbulent Parisians, the smells and bad air of central Paris were a major reason why Charles V moved the royal residence permanently from the Île de la Cité outside the old city walls to a new residence, the Hotel Saint-Pol, near the new Bastille fortress.
>>185464932Depends on the movie. The fights in Police Story do feel much more spontaneous. But all his other points still stand. Jackie actually had tense chaotic exciting fight scenes as opposed to JW4
This fat fuck scene was the only kino moment
>>185464948Paris is a case of the great advertising campaign the world has ever seen. It's up their with australia being known as the Land of Plenty
>>185465111The playground fight in Police Story 2 might be the most rhythmic and overtly planned one of the lot. You can literally hear the beats playing out.>>185465161Scott Adkins out-acting everyone was unexpected.
>>185465279>land of plentywat, all I've ever learned from cartoons & tv is that Australia has a shitton of kangaroos and is comprised of mostly sand.
>>185465447Jesus fucking Christ>Let me pick this one specific example while avoiding every other pointI'm genuinely asking what you find good/exciting about the action in JW4?
>>185465608You were wrong about Jackie Chan films, it's not the end of the world mate, you'll get over it.
>>185465715There isn't a lowlier life form than your type. You got me big dawg.
>>185465859You'll survive this gentle 4chan embarrassment mate.
>>185465161>"babushka babeyaga go kill the fat guy">"yeah">"meester vick, your fyamilee... have beetrayed yoo">blind guy who's there to kill wick shows up randomly>black guy who's there to kill wick shows up randomly>both decide they're not there to kill wick anymore>instead he almost gets beaten to death by boogie2988 in a gay nightclub>fatty falls down the stairs like an infomercial>turns out they didn't betray him at allall style no substance
>>185466241A common mistake is thinking that substance is inherently worth more than style.
>>185465161His laugh made me happy in a way I didn't know I could feel.
>>185466241And that's a good thing. Not everything has to be serious and cerebral. Go watch depressing soviet cinema if you want that.
>>185466317there's a difference between choosing not to have any substance, and trying to have it but it being shitJW1 was perfect style over substance, the plot was simple and to the point, there was nothing to trip over and things were introduced that weren't completely explained - that's okay, we don't need to know the entirety of this universeas the series drags on, it gets more and more complex with markers and codes and syndicates and adjudicators and elders and all this shit I don't care about
>>185466592>im too dumb for it so its badfascinating
>>185466619not caring =/= not understanding
>>185466702Not caring is a mask for not understanding.
>>185466619>I can not respond to any of the anons here but I still keep commenting like a moron trying to sound above it all.fascinating
>>185466741your cope for when your parents tell you they don't care about you has nothing to do with the conversation at hand
>>185466745who are you talking about? you're not being a schizo right now are you?>>185466858that's your big zinger? lol
>>185456119why are so many nations destroying their capitol by flooding it with undesirables? Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussles, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Prague, Rome.... the list goes on. all gone to shit in the past 20 years, to varying degrees but still noticeable.GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER EUROPE
>>185466950Cause that's what "they" want
>>185466912It's ok bud, you don't have to defend the 60 year old action star who can't throw a convincing punch to save his life by pretending the movie's stylish and deep. You lost, there's no need to resort to personal insults.
>>185467008schizo lost his entire mind lmao
>>185467034>that's your big zinger? lolhttps://youtu.be/eR2GsIZUQ_A?t=913
>>185466950Three reasons.Major capital cities have 'infrastructure' to support such people. From shelters to food banks, they also have established racial communities new arrivals slip into and, honestly, they offer anonymity because of their sizes. You can't mug some granny in a village and expect the locals not to come fuck your shit up.
>>185456304M3GAN
>>185466950Money. Also, if you go back through history, strong cultural identity leads to rebellion and the elites don't like rebellion.
>>185456171i kneel
>>185456491Isn’t that the Bowery King’s whole thing?
>>185466950They're economic hubs so poor people flood to them in the hopes of becoming rich. They're wrong since those capitols are economic hubs because rich people live there not because of the job opportunities.
>John Wick 5 Confirmed >He died though…
>>185468576i truly don't understand? He died. Okay so they'll make it so he didn't actually die but then why would he fake his death if he just won his complete freedom in the same movie?
>>185468888Because...money. You think Lionsgate gives a single solitary shit about the story? Not that there was much story in this 4th one to begin with
>>185456304Me, taking a shit into the toilt with my ass is better movie, dumb retarded faggot.
>>185459034piglets exist only when they need to exist.
>>185459092No. It was when "bullet proof suits" was introduced.
>>185469064There were no rumors about a crossover with Nobody?
>>185468888Checked.He didn't fake his death so much as he sacrificed half of himself. As the Marquis says:>There is no John out there. No happy man with a normal life. There is only John Wick: The Killer.John the loving husband is the one buried in that grave. John Wick lives on. To continue the Christ parallels he'll perform something akin to the Harrowing of Hell in John Wick 5. I don't think he'll destroy the High Table cause Lionsgate wants their spinoffs but perhaps he'll cement an alternative organization within the underworld, saving all the lost souls while the properly damned stay with the Table.
>>185465161fat christiano ronaldo
>>185471700There is only Wick now
>>185460312discount of halle berry chracter in the 3rd movie, a bland nobody with the same gimmik but only 1 dog>>185460410YE AH
>>185472409don't forget how that dog tanked a moving vehicle and stood up as if nothing happened
>>185463410>The time frame from JW1 to JW4 seems to be only a few weeks at bestSupposedly something like 7-8 months have passed between 3 & 4 which allowed John to recover from the first three films occurring over a period of two weeks or so. The upcoming Ballerina spinoff will be set in that timeskip period.
>Character randomly speaks in their language for no reason>John understands it because he apparently knows every language in the world
>>185472730He's likely proficient in Russian, Belarusian, Italian, and Japanese cause those are all big players in the criminal underworld and he's shown to be very familiar with those communities. His Indonesian and Cantonese seemed basic (ignoring Keanu's delivery in all of these languages and just looking at what he chooses to say in each).Some people have an aptitude for learning languages and end up with 10+ under their belt.
>>185473445dont forget sign language
>>185473445I think he also spoke hebrew or yiddish at some point.
>>185472730the cool part about this movie is that john is basically super human, he knows how to use every gun, he knows nearly every fighting style, a bunch of languages, and random skills such as killing people with pencils. he is the equivalent as maxing out a character in a rpg or other type of game and see it destroy everything around him with godlike precision
>>185459092they jumped the shark for good here, it's okay to have retarded action as long as it's entertaining3 & 4 have a lot of well choreographed action but it's really boring to watch after first 5 minutes
>>185473617That would've been the bank scene in JW2, I don't remember if he said anything in Hebrew or if the Jews just said something to him.
i wish the black guy and the dj negress were not in the movie
>>185473822Lionsgate gotta keep up the diversity quotas.
>>185473822i will be honest, the voice of the dj girl made me horny as fuck, i just did not jerk off to it because of the shooting sounds
The hotline miami scene alone makes it one of the kinos of the year.
>>185458872i think you can make an argument that keanu is neo in many of his movies, and is a version of the matrix before it got destroyed like colonel sanders said in 2. john wick, 47 samurai, johnny mnemonic come to mind that fit this narrative.
>>185473895The black dude is whatever, I like the idea of his character and the scene where he has to pull his hand out through the knife is pretty kino but his fight scenes suck like in Berlin where he just holds a guys leg for like 10 seconds and the guy just stands there waiting to get his nuts ripped off by the dog. The dj nigress sucked, I liked the warriors reference but her voice was annoying as fuck and always sounded like she had way too much saliva in her mouth when talking
>>185472730To be fair, if big brutes like Lukaku can be fluent in 7 languages just because of football, I can imagine it would be very easy for someone like John Wick to be equally proficient in the common languages used in his circles.
>>185473822DJ Lady was a reference to The Warriors?
>>185473822I liked the The Warriors homage with the black lady dj.
>>185473895you're not up to the argument as corny and shitty as it was Donnie Yen was the coolest in the movie>>185473990that's literally why i loathe it it's a fucking turn off for me
>>185456119>character is french>is a pretentious faggot
>>185474126disgusting mouth>>185474133also i did not remember that at all
>>185474142Diversity = black, Donnie doesn't count.
>>185474202and we already had the black in it dummy that was my point
>>185474162that character was really good because he was a villan you could hate
>>185462468Damn bitch you really going to let him have the last word?
>>185474289it was corny shitsome past villain characters were better
>>185474126Yeah it's a very obvious reference. They also play a remix of Nowhere to Run after she is introduced to further cement the reference and it's why she refers to the listeners as boppers
For how diverse the series is, the only time it felt pushy was the marketing around the Adjudicator being nonbinary in JW3. Even then, it doesn't translate to the film cause the audience just sees a butch woman. It really is like the old 80s films where races just existed alongside each other without any social agenda involved.
>>185474289call me when the main villain can actually fight and hold his own instead of relying on 1000 goons you'd think those retards would realize that going against Wick is suicide at this point and would make a deal and give the one he wants in order to spare all the bloodshed and waste of money in damages and loss of human life
Honestly I expected more from the black guy He looked more cool/menacing in the trailer
>>185474485He looks like a black person wearing blackface
>>185474414>marketing around the Adjudicator being nonbinary in JW3no wonder it was shit
>>185474465That's basically what happens at the end of the movie. The movie was basically their last ditch effort to kill Wick and they figured if he can win the duel they should just let him out cause they clearly can't stop him.
>>185472660So John could hide for 7 to 8 months with Laurence Fishburne but for some reason he chose to go to Osaka to lay low after killing the Elder. Couldn't just go back to the thing that worked for nearly a year for...reasons
>>185473682>he knows nearly every fighting styleLol. If by knows every fighting style you mean he can point them out while lounging on his couch I guess you're right.
>>185474741They clearly had the resources of a small nation, what stopped them from dropping a hellfire missile from a drone on top of his head? Or hiring snipers, or using attack dogs against him considering dogs are his weakness and everyone knew about it after he wiped out the russian mob.
>>185474162he act the part excellently
>>185456144I love how macron has a picture of burning Notre Dame hanging in his office
>>185474743The Bowery King only just started to create international hideouts. He seems to have a method of safe passage locked down but actually laying low in a single spot even if it's just to rest for a day before continuing onward requires someone you can trust like Koji.That being said, it was a downgrade compared to the previous films where every single trip across an ocean required sacrificing something important and a trip across the city meant you had to fight at least 15 people. Distance had weight.
>>185474465and how the fuck are they going to cover all the deaths, all the destruction, all the violation of gun laws and shit?feel like the high table is higher than the goverment
cast the young John wick young donnie yen for the prequel
Detractors somehow don't understand that John Wick is a fantasy series.
>>185475344Adam Driver as young John WickTony Jaa as young Donnie
>>185456171What's the ultimate degree?
>>185474900>>185475264Don't think about John Wick in material terms. The real world and the logic it operates on doesn't matter to the story cause the series is a type of urban fantasy. One that uses mythology instead of magic to drive the story. Police aren't in the story cause they're beyond the veil, they exist in the upper realm. Missiles don't exist cause it's a story of heroes and villains wielding their swords against each other. Same reason machine guns and rocket launchers never appear and snipers disappeared after JW1.
>>185456119First of all it's an alternate universe where they got a radio station in the Eiffel Tower.
>see what looks like a gang fight>drive right through it to work>pretty sure I killed one of themDo we even have police in this nigger infested shithole anymore?
>flame shotgun is real
>>185476229You don't remember FPSRussia using it back in like 2010 on youtube? Dragon's Breath
>>185476229>flame shotgun israel
>>185460312Do people forget who was in Paris?
>>185456119It was, which is why we only saw it in the dark.
>>185476258>Dragon's BreathVisually, a pretty good montage.Reminded me of Constantine or Blade.
IAMKLAUS
>>185478777Trips confirm
>>185465161I want a Funko Pop of this guy. He was great.
>>185456718I expect this too. Although the trailers don't have me very excited; none of the new characters have decent physiognomy. No more Baldwin and Cavill; gonna be tough to beat them.
I winced every time they did a closeup on the ugly radio host
>>185479184It's a shame what happened to Renner, he would have been a good apprentice to continue from.
>>185456119Dropped this movie at the blind guy swordfighting at osaka.Dogshit action.
>>185456304
>>185479603Filtered
>>185479620Is that a...
>>185479879Consessed
>>185479603Osaka was great, set-wise. I'd have loved to stay at that hotel.
