Yes.

Go see it. I won't spoil anything unless anyone wants it, but it's the shortest 3 hour movie I've ever seen. It's really, really great.

I need some time to decompress but I'm thinking 4>1>3>2

1 and 4 are so different but they're both excellent in what they do. The incendiaryround, top down one shot in 4 might trump anything in any other film

Saw it Thursday night. Absolutely loved it. Final half hour was incredible.

JW4 fixed the major problem I had with JW3 (3's plot felt totally disjointed, like a bunch of setpieces had been mashed together) and delivered great new characters and a storyline that reminded me of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

And, yes, the top-down one-shot scene was amazing. Bonus points for including the club music from JW1.

2 > 1 > 4 >>> 3

I don't get the love for 2, but I respect it. It's just too much of a jump from realistic action to SUPERHERO JOHN WICK.

Also, I like how you said the final half hour was incredible. That really speaks to the movies pacing

Guess what. The last action scene was an hour long. I literally found a cam recording to make sure I'm not crazy, and from the moment he gets off the boat, to the final duel is basically an hour. Yeah it's like 4 different set pieces but it does not stop for a literal hour

Super excited to see this, been hearing great things! I think so far, 2 is the easy loser. Crazy jump in silliness aside, the choreography is just really, really boring and repetitive compared to both 1 and 3. Like legit, take a shot every time Keanu grapples someone and you'll be blacked out before the movie is over.

I got a little worried about 4 because one of the initial set pieces has a lot of grappling that's very similar to what you're talking about, but every action scene is really unique and goes for something different

Excited to go see it. I rank em currently as 3>>1>>2. Something about 2 just didn't sit with me tbh. Not sure what it was but 3 certainy was better than the first one. They are all good movies though.

The longer I think about this movie the more I think I loved it and it's obviously the best Wick film.

I might go see it again tomorrow with a friend.

The movie was self-aware enough that it never bothered me, but I see where you're coming from. JW1 is much more grounded with him needing to rest after the club shootout and such.

Also, I like how you said the final half hour was incredible. That really speaks to the movies pacing

Guess what. The last action scene was an hour long. I literally found a cam recording to make sure I'm not crazy, and from the moment he gets off the boat, to the final duel is basically an hour. Yeah it's like 4 different set pieces but it does not stop for a literal hour

Damn. Didn't even realize that. I was indeed enthralled. I hope that if they make a JW5 it's a prequel (maybe showing him completing his "Impossible Task"), because the final duel and ending of JW4 was absolutely incredible and I wouldn't want them to extend things out just to cash-in on the franchise.

I just watched the first John Wick having never watched any of the series.

Should I watch the next two before going to the theaters to watch the 4th one? Or can I watch them later?

You absolutely need to watch all three, in order, before watching the fourth one.

first of all, what did you think/what did you know going in

I'll say watching them back to back or at least very close together can lead to some sameness overload, but you also should watch the others before 4.

If you go from 1 to 4 you are going to go from "revenge story with strange hintings of an assasin underworld" to "opening scene being Wick riding a horse and gunning down people in the middle of the desert while missing a finger"
