I guess I'm alone here, but this movie did nothing for me. It's just extended action sequence where John Wick kills a bunch of nameless goons, then they take a break to visit a new place and explain some new rules, then another extended action sequence where John Wick kills a bunch of nameless goons, followed by a break to visit a new place and explain some new rules, ad infinitum.

It all felt so basic and meaningless to me. Nobody had any depth. Nobody had any arc. And I guess I shouldn't expect that in a John Wick movie...but four movies deep, the endless action is getting stale. The rules feel like they're constantly changing or can always be bent.

Now everybody has bulletproof sports jackets and getting hit by a speeding car isn't even a flesh wound.

I just don't think I have an eye for good action choreography and cinematography. I loved the first John Wick because it was all fresh, but every movie has just been diminishing returns for me.

Though yes, that top-down sequence in Paris at the end was awesome on every level.
